Day 4: Masai Mara
After breakfast, head for the Masai Mara (4-hour drive), Kenya's premier wildlife reserve. The Masai Mara has endless plains punctuated by flat-top acacia trees and home to an array of wildlife. Every year the reserve plays host to one of the world's great wildlife spectacles, the annual wildebeest migration. Over 1.4 million wildebeest and 200,000 zebra and gazelle, relentlessly tracked by Africa's great predators, migrate over 1,800 miles each year in search of rain-ripened grass from late July until the end of September. Check in to Mara Simba Lodge (1 hour 30-min drive), home for the next 2 nights. After lunch, relax before embarking on an afternoon game drive. (B/L/D)
