Your ninth and tenth days in Kenya promise exhilarating wildlife encounters in the Masai Mara. Begin each morning with an early game drive, venturing into the vast plains and rolling hills that define this iconic game reserve. As the sun rises over the savannah, you’ll have the opportunity to spot the Mara’s famed inhabitants, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—as well as cheetahs, hyenas, and a myriad of bird species. Your experienced guide will navigate the terrain, ensuring you have optimal chances for wildlife sightings and memorable photographic opportunities.
In the afternoons, continue your exploration of the Masai Mara with another game drive. Each drive offers a fresh perspective on the park’s diverse ecosystems and the behaviours of its wildlife. On one of these days, immerse yourself in the local community by visiting a nearby school. Engage with students and teachers, learn about their educational experiences, and gain insight into the challenges and successes of education in rural Kenya. This cultural exchange provides a meaningful connection to the Mara’s human landscape, complementing your wildlife adventures.
After exhilarating days of safari excursions and cultural encounters, return to Zebra Plains Camp for evenings filled with delicious meals and relaxed conversations under the starlit African sky. Reflect on the day’s sightings and experiences, sharing stories with your fellow travellers as you prepare for another day of discovery in the Masai Mara.
