The first leg of the trip takes you to the Fairmont Mara Safari Club's luxury tents where you’ll see firsthand the hippos of Mara River and the one of the planet's most robust nature reserves. Game drives will take guests on search of Africa's Big Five animals: lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards and rhinos. Lucky adventurers will also be able to spot many other magnificent beasts like gazelles and zebras.

Travelers will also get the chance to visit a local Masai village to experience the traditional jumping 'Adumu' dance in person. And, come nightfall in the bush, dinner is served around a bonfire.
