If you have not enough time in Africa, this Safari is best done by air. You will explore Masai Mara for all 4 days in this itinerary. We can modify this safari by visiting some of the private conservancies around Mara, allowing for activities such as hikes and night safaris which are not permitted in Masai Mara Game reserve. This is also a perfect safari to combine with Gorillas and Chimpanzee trekking in Uganda or Rwanda which can be accessed by air straight from Masai Mara.
