On arrival at the airstrip, you will be met by a driver from your camp who will drive you through bushland and open savannah to your lodge. In the afternoon you will head out on your fist game drive in the awe inspiring Masai Mara.
Spend the next three days exploring the rivers and savannah and spotting game on your included morning and afternoon game drives During the heat of the day when the wildlife is less active you can relax by the pool or indulge in a spa treatment.
Alternatively you could book an optional excursion with the lodge such as a bush walk or a Masai cultural visit.
You could also opt to replace a morning game drive with a magical hot air balloon experience. Rising early to arrive at the launch zone for sunrise you'll start low and slow at not much higher than tree top height, looking for wildlife beneath you. After a while your pilot will ignite the burners and send the balloon soaring upwards for some the most amazing views of the wilderness. After landing, you will be treated to a glass of champagne before being driven to a breakfast spot in the middle of the bush.
