Day 7 Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara Game Reserve
Your day starts very early, but it's going to be worth it as you journey into the Masai Mara National Reserve. This famous park is home to an enthralling array of animals including the 'Big Five' – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. It's also the setting each year for the great migration, when thousands of wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River to the greener pastures of the Serengeti. You'll arrive at your accommodation in time for lunch. The area is home to a large, and vocal, population of hippos, so your wildlife spots start soon after you've arrived.
