The last stretch before you reach Maasai Mara is almost safari drive as many animals often find themselves outside the reserve boundaries. You will be expected to arrive in the Mara area at mid-day. You will be served with the packed lunches from Sopa and a large part of the last hours before arrival at the lodge is one long game drive  before the accommodation in the cozy and charming Sopa Mara Camp or similar.

The Maasai Mara is also home of the largest concentration of lions in Kenya, just as leopards and cheetahs are very well represented. During the stay in the Maasai Mara, it is also possible to visit a Maasai village (not included). A really exciting experience and an encounter with a strange and completely different culture. Warmly you are invited inside the village, where you are welcomed by the young men dancing and singing from the village women. You will have the opportunity to get into the cabins, and to buy a souvenir to take home. A powerful experience that sets itself as an exciting memory that lives long after returning from the trip. Or what about the sublime experience of balloon safari in the morning, where you can experience the beautiful sunrise and see it all from above followed by a cozy breakfast served on the savannah (not included). We recommend that you book the balloon ride from home, since there are only a limited number of seats.
