Today expect a plain overflowing with wildlife, rarities such as the leopard, and delicious lunch served at the heart of the wild. A hot-air balloon safari is another worthwhile indulgence if you do not mind parting with an extra £430.
The world as you know it is brought to a standstill by the hour-long ride, the wildlife, and the panorama, being the best part of it all. This experience is often made worth every pound, thanks to the delicious breakfast you enjoy after landing.

Day 4: Morning Game Drive, Maasai Village Visit, and Trip Back to Nairobi
The beauty of game drives lies in their spontaneity, and this game drive or even a Masai Mara Migration Safari is no different. The day starts with a morning breakfast, and then the guide takes you to the jungle after the hotel checks out.
The game drive lasts until approximately 10 AM, the ideal time to head to a Maasai village. The Maasai Villages is the first stop on your way to Nairobi. Famous for their dances and colourful attire, the Maasai is a tribe that shares the Mara with hundreds of wildlife, learn the Adumu dance, and let their tales of the wild fill you with wonder and admiration.
Depending on your needs, we either see you on a flight back home or check you into a nearby hotel from where you depart by boarding your flight early the following day.
