Dust lifts from the road as the Land Cruiser threads through acacia and grassland; the Mara spreads wide, a room of light and long shadow where herds break and predators watch. This 2-night road safari moves at the pace of the plains — morning drives when lions are still heavy with sleep, lunches beside the Mara River, and late-afternoon game drives that turn hills into lookout posts.
