Day 2

    

Maasai Mara Reserve

Day notes

Today you may decide that you wish to head out for a balloon safari, this will be an additional US$ 490 per person and is not included in the package price. If you decide to opt for the balloon safari, you will be picked up from Mahali Mzuri at 04:30-05:00 and driven to the launch site. You will be airborne just before dawn, as the flames from the burners light the darkness. What amazes first time balloonists on safari is the stillness; the silence as you float about the plains, forests and rivers of the Maasai Mara. The flight will take approximately 1 hour and you will have a lot of photograph opportunities! The balloon safari ends with a champagne breakfast, cooked wherever you land. You will then be driven back to Mahali Mzuri with game viewing en route.

You will depart Mahali Mzuri taking a picnic lunch with you as you head off to the Maasai Mara Reserve for a full day of game activities, in search of wildlife. Hopefully catching the Great Migration of wildebeest and zebras, if you are lucky, you may get to witness them crossing the river!

In the afternoon you will return to Mahali Mzuri for your overnight arrangements on a full board basis.
