Today enjoy morning game activities, then depart after lunch to Naivasha airstrip for your scheduled afternoon flight to the Masai Mara. You'll be met on arrival and transferred to Main Governors Camp, for three nights, full board with activities basis.
The well-known Masai Mara National Game Reserve boasts an astonishing amount of wildlife! Unfenced, the Mara is bounded in the east by the Ngama Hills and in the west by the Oloololo or Siria Eascarpment. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found so are predators. The famously black-maned Mara lions are possibly the stars of the Mara show, but cheetah, elephant, kongoni, topi, Thompson's gazelle, waterbuck, hyena, and primates are all here too. Not only is this a great place in which to find game, but the wide green-gold savannahs spotted with thorn trees make it ideal for photography as well.
