Day two is set aside for game viewing in Kenya’s finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.  Our morning and afternoon game drives take us in search of Africa’s Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve.

These include Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeest.  Elephants, lions, buffalos, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.
