A typical day on safari brings different experiences but generally your safari day includes two major activities/game drives per day. One beginning early in the morning and the second starting mid to late afternoon. There may be times when you stay out all day and a picnic lunch is then provided.
Your day usually starts with an early wake up, normally before sunrise. You’ll have a light breakfast then a morning game drive to catch the animals in action before the heat of the day sets in. While out, you may stop and have some tea/coffee and snacks before returning to your camp/lodge for brunch or lunch and a siesta. Most morning activities are over by late morning (around 10/11:00am).
In the late afternoon (usually between 3:30-4:30pm), you’ll head back out for another game drive where often you will end with a ‘sundowner’ (drinks and snacks in the bush). You will then return to the camp/lodge in time for dinner and drinks. Most safari vehicles are partially if not entirely open to ensure that everyone has a great view.
On transfer days where you move between camps the itinerary may be slightly different depending on your schedule. Your guide and camp managers will discuss and plan your days with you.

Enjoy two days of morning and afternoon safari activities in the Masai Mara National Reserve. The location of the ’Great Migration’ – one of the natural wonders of the world : a wildlife-rich savannah landscape. It’s also a region where traditionally dressed Maasai still herd their cattle and goats in a lifestyle that in some respects hasn’t changed much since they first arrived here 350 years ago.
Home to hundreds of big-maned lions, large numbers of cheetah and leopards, spotted hyenas and jackals, some 1,500 elephants, tens of thousands of antelope of more than a dozen species from the tiny dik-dik to the huge eland, Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles, herds of buffalo, Maasai giraffe, and migratory Burchell’s zebras and wildebeest in their hundreds of thousands, every day on safari here brings new wonders.
