Travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley, stopping for photo opportunities before reaching Narok town for lunch. Arrive at your budget campsite near the Masai Mara in the afternoon and set out on your first game drive. Spot elephants, zebras, and maybe lions as the golden afternoon light spreads across the savannah.
