This is your final full day on safari in the phenomenal Masai Mara. The Mara is a fantastic year-round safari destination with optimal game viewing in the dry season from July to October, and an abundance of lush greenery in the shoulder and rainy seasons. The Great Migration typically occurs in the long dry season, so this is an excellent time of year to go on safari in Kenya.

Along with incredible wildlife, you’ll have the opportunity for some special cultural experiences, including visiting the singing Maasai warriors of the Singing Wells. Interestingly, the Masai Mara contains one of the highest densities of lions anywhere in the world and yet you can see Maasai tribesmen grazing their cattle in the surrounding land. You’ll also gain first-hand insight into the conflict between humans and wildlife as you witness cattle and predators roaming side by side.

On this day, after breakfast you will be driven to the Masai Mara airstrip for your scheduled light aircraft flight back to Nairobi.
