Day Eight - Maasai Mara Game Reserve

Overnight tonight at LITTLE GOVERNORS CAMP or KICHWA TEMBO CAMP
- breakfast at the camp, or take an early optional morning balloon ride as the sun rises, followed by a delicious bush breakfast - this is the best breakfast I have ever had!
- the balloon ride is run from both camps (different company at each camp)
- morning game drive exploring the reserve, the animals here are plentiful and easy to sight
- lunch at the camp
- afternoon game drive
- dinner and overnight stay at the camp
