These include the lion, Cape buffalo, the savanna elephant, black rhino and the elusive leopard. The vast savanna grasslands as far as the eye can see is home to impalas, maasai giraffes, waterbucks, warthogs, thompson & grand gazelles, topis, the resident wildebeests among many others.

Masai Mara Game Reserve
Today, you will have an option of either enjoying two extensive game viewing drives per day or departing with packed lunch boxes for a full day of game viewing. Be on the look-out for the big five that Maasai Mara is famous for.
These include the lion, savannah (African) elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard and the black rhino. We may even be so lucky to witness a leopard or a cheetah sprint and make a kill!
Mara Serena Safari Lodge LDBB
Masai Mara Game Reserve
Depart the lodge after an early morning cup of tea and enjoy an exhilarating game drive in the crisp morning air - you are likely to find the Mara at its most active; the reward is likely to be sight of predators who avoid the heat: additional attractions include subtle light on the landscape and the joyous sounds of awakening birds. You will then proceed to the banks of the famous Mara River, where you will be met by a traditionally clad Maasai warrior who will lead you to a table overlooking the Mara River and hopefully countless hippos will be your special breakfast treat.
Thereafter, enjoy a mid-morning game drive to return to your lodge for lunch and some rest. Later at around 4pm, proceed for an afternoon game viewing drive to return late in the evening to your lodge.
