Your driver will show you everything from the diminutive dik-dik to towering elephants and giraffes. Upon arriving in the Kogatende region, you'll go out in search of both the Wildebeest Migration and the famous Big Five.

After breakfast, we'll start our game drive around the Kogatende area, searching around the kopjes looking for carnivores and the large migration groups that will be preparing to cross the Mara River to Kenya.
Home to large numbers of hippos and Nile crocodiles, the Mara River is the last major obstacle standing between the Wildebeest Migration and the relative safety of the Maasai Mara. If you're patient and a little lucky, you may even get to witness the death-defying crossing itself where wildebeest and zebras brave the river's currents and crocodiles in an attempt to reach safety on the opposite bank. Check-in at your accommodation for dinner and overnight.
