Kenyan Safari (4 Days/3 Nights): Lake Nakura, Maasai Mara Game Reserve
With your heart full of satisfaction, knowing that you have been able to make a positive impact in the lives of the needy children, it is time to head onto a Kenyan safari where you will encounter a multitude of animals – including lions, hippos, giraffes, wildebeests, zebra, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs and a variety of antelopes and elephants in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. All these distinct animals have made the Maasai Mara so well known around the world. The most spectacular event of the natural world takes place with the migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras – coming to the Maasai Mara region from the Serengeti in search of water. Following these animals are the predators of the savanna – from lions to cheetahs, to wild dogs, to hyenas and other vultures.
