We will spend the next 2 full days in and around the Talek area of the Mara. This is one of the richest predator areas of the Mara.

Day 5 | Wildebeest crossing or Game drives in the Mara
We will go out on our planned morning and afternoon game drives or maybe sits along the Mara River waiting for the big crossing, depending on how the herds are lining up. Getting a perfect crossing takes waiting along the edge of the river for a build-up of the wildebeest. While you wait, enjoy a game drive near the crossing locations and keep in contact with any action near the crossing points. Be sure to catch a big crossing!

Day 6 & 7 | Game Drives in Mara Private Conservancy
This morning, we will go out on our morning game drive for one last chance at a large crossing before heading to a private reserve on the border of the Masai Mara. This will allow us to get away from all the other vehicles for a more intimate experience; off-road driving is allowed in the private conservancy. We will do this with caution and when necessary to track a predator from a distance. You shall also have a night game drive.
