Fly to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, set in a vast plain teeming with animals, easily the greatest concentration of wildlife in the country, including some 450 bird species.

5 Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Into The Bush
Over the next two exciting days, drive across the sprawling savanna in search of abundant game in one of Kenya’s most spectacular reserves. Running along the Tanzanian border, the Mara forms a vital part of the Serengeti ecosystem. Each year, more than a million zebras, wildebeests and gazelles march north to graze on the Mara’s lush grasses as part of the Great Migration’s annual cycle. Follow the Mara River to see crocodiles basking in the sun, hippos wallowing in the water or monkeys swinging madly overhead.

6 Maasai Mara Game Reserve – Unmatched Wildlife Action

In place of a morning game drive, opt for a hot air balloon ride (at an additional cost). Then, visit a school (if in session) on the edge of the Maasai Mara for an A&K-exclusive experience, viewing a recently installed LifeStraw Water filter that purifies drinking water for students and teachers — a project supported by Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy and funded by each departure of this journey. Then, visit a nearby Maasai village for firsthand insight into their unique way of life.
