Enjoy Migration with a Full-Day Game Drive at Masai Mara National Reserve We meet for breakfast early on the second day.

We all slept soundly with the sounds of various wild animals resonating in the distance after the exhausting journey of yesterday. Although the buffet is delicious, we don't stay long.

We don't want to miss another second of this massive migration. We are having a packed lunch today, kindly provided by the hotel, as a result. That means we won't be coming back for lunch because we will be gone all day.

After gathering our belongings, we make our way to the Mara River, the hub of activity. Along the way, we come across antelopes, gazelles, zebras, hundreds of wildebeest who have already made the lucky cross, and many other species.

From a distance, we can hear the sounds, excitement, and buzz as we get closer to the Mara River. When the animals leap into the unknown waters, they make a loud splashing sound.

Here, safety lies in numbers, and hundreds of wildebeest pass through. We park our van next to other tour vans and use the open roof to set up our equipment.

We are soon captivated by the action occurring below. Some of the animals slip and land with their heads first in the water as they descend the steep slopes of the elevated banks. Countless others stand by the banks, and gradually, they enter one by one.

For some, the steep ascent out of the water is challenging, but soon they will launch toward a patiently waiting pride of lions. Abruptly, we spot movement in the center of the river.

Three large crocodiles have taken a zebra as prey, and no matter what it does, it will not prevail in this fight.

We lose track of time as we become absorbed in the action. We know it's lunchtime because of the growling in our stomachs.

We make our way to a well-liked picnic area close to the Mara River, where we marvel at what we just saw while chowing down on chicken sandwiches and refreshing juice.

Looking through all of the pictures will be a lot of fun.

We return to the hotel exhausted yet captivated as the afternoon fades into dusk.
I'm excited for a cold beer and a warm bath. Tomorrow is going to bring new experiences.

Morning Game Drive, Visit a Maasai Village, and Transfer to Nairobi 

On our final day at the Masai Mara, we get up after breakfast and check out of our rooms as usual. As we leave the park on this final day, we will go on one last game drive.
This is a fantastic opportunity to see anything we might have overlooked while here. As for us, we leave and immediately return to the Mara River to see some action.
With so much to see, it doesn't seem like 10 am when we have to drive out of the park to visit a Maasai village.
Over the years, we have developed friendships in the village, and we frequently visit to check on them.
Kilusu, the village chief, amuses us as usual with stories told in broken Swahili and English, which quickly makes us laugh uncontrollably. During our scheduled Masai Mara safari visits, we always make arrangements for our clients to visit a Masai Village and engage with this distinctive Kenyan tribe. To this day, the Maasais obstinately maintain their customs in the face of change.
Sheep and soil are still used by women to build manyattas or traditional homes, and young boys are mostly responsible for herding goats and cattle. Maasai morans, or warriors, dress up and perform songs and dances for our guests.
The majority of visitors who wish to try it find the renowned Masai jump to be especially fascinating. Typically, this is an excellent opportunity to purchase genuine jewelry crafted from beads and other conventional materials.
The lengthy 5-hour drive to Nairobi then starts. We occasionally experience some traffic  on the highway, but we arrive in Nairobi safely and exhausted.
If you were returning home, we would normally drive you back to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport during a trip with guests.
We return you to your Nairobi hotel or take you to your next destination if you are visiting other parts of Kenya.
