Day 2: Masai Mara National Reserve         

• There are two options for this full day in the Mara.
• Option 1:
  • Early morning balloon safaris are a “never to be forgotten” experience that can be enjoyed by couples of families. Your Arkman driver will drop you off and the landing site of the balloon company. The cost per person is USD450.
  • For couples, balloon safaris are a romantic and evocative way of experiencing the wilderness of East Africa. As you gracefully and silently fly over the plains, you will be able to witness the various animals, including lions and elephants, roam around in the early morning.
  • Balloon safaris typically begin at 6:00 am and last around an hour and can take off from various locations to avoid disturbance to animals. After the journey is complete, you will be taken to have a unique, one of a kind, breakfast “in the bush”, where you will be served champagne and have waiters on hand to give you a fitting finale to your memorable flight in the bush.
  • Our Arkman driver will then pick you up from the drop-off location to begin a game drive. If requested beforehand, the camp/lodge will prepare a lunch box which is given to the driver, so you can enjoy a picnic in a designated safe eating spot.
  • You will then continue your game drive and return back to the camp/lodge for dinner.
• Option 2:
  • Have breakfast at the hotel followed by a morning game drive.
  • Return to the hotel for lunch, and have an afternoon game drive in which you can visit a village of the Masai people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. You can also have a glimpse into their homes and social structures. The cost of this is USD 30 per person.
  • We then return to the camp/lodge to relax and have dinner and overnight stay.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner.
