Game Drive
A full day on Safari
For most of our guests, their safari highlight is the full day game drive – a red letter day in a short stay and a repeated pleasure on longer visits.
To make the most of the adventure, we leave at 7am, heading from the camp conservancy to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, some 25 minutes away. We make getting underway easy for you, with an early breakfast served in your tent or the restaurant, as you prefer. This helps to ease your transition from blissful sleep into the delights of a full day’s safari adventure.
On the road is where our fully-equipped open-sided 4×4 Landcruisers come into their own: there is no better way to cross the Mara plains in search of wildlife, or maximise spotting opportunities. By midday it can become very hot indeed (sun-block lotion, sunglasses and hats are advised), so we make a stop for lunch under the shade of an Acacia tree, or overlooking the snorting hippos which wallow in the Mara River.
As the afternoon draws to a close and the temperature cools, the shadows lengthen and the Bush changes once more. Evening sightings of rhino are not uncommon on the way back to camp. Even a bad day is a good day in the Mara, since undoubtedly you will have encountered animals, birds and landscapes that are completely new to you.
