The reserve has one of the highest densities of lions in the world as well as cheetahs and hyenas. Get to explore the grasslands and the acacia woodlands that are typical in the Mara, providing shade and habitat for numerous animals. This is one of Africa’s natural beauty. The day wraps up with a return to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay, allowing you to relish the magic of the day's adventures.
