After a filling breakfast at your hotel, it’s time to embark on a musical road trip to the majestic Maasai Mara. It is a classic African savanna, with its unique density of wildlife. Grazing in large numbers are gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra; and with them, their predators.

You’ll have the opportunity to spot a variety of wildlife, including big cats such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs. Lions can be seen in large prides and game viewing is fantastic all year round. We’ll stop for lunch at the Olmalaika Home, where we will be spending a few hours teaching local young girls to play the ukulele. After that, it’s time to continue on to our final destination – Mara Bush Camp. Here, you will have the chance to relax and unwind around a cozy campfire under the African stars, taking in the day’s adventures.
