Day 02: Start the day with an early morning game drive in Masai Mara

- Morning from 6.15am to 9am, before breakfast
- Late afternoon after lunch from 3.30pm to 6.30pm.
- As your safari is private, your game drive timings are flexible, and convenient if traveling with children or if on a honeymoon when you perhaps want to lie in longer on some of the days.
