Rise early as the African wilderness awakens around you.
Today is dedicated to exploring the northern reaches of the Masai Mara in search of the enormous migration herds. Depending on wildlife movements, your guide will position the vehicle near strategic crossing points along the Mara River, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras gather before attempting one of nature's most dramatic river crossings.
Watching nervous herds hesitate at the riverbank before plunging into crocodile-filled waters is an unforgettable wildlife experience that few destinations on Earth can match.
Throughout the day, keep watch for lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and crocodiles, all of which closely follow the migration in search of hunting opportunities.
