There are many wonderful discoveries to be made on our afternoon tour of Casablanca including: the Central Market, United Nations and Mohamed V Squares, the Habous Quarter, view The Royal Palace and visit Hassan II Mosque, the second largest mosque in the world.
Welcome Dinner at Rick’s Cafe Restaurant, the mythical saloon from the 1942 film "Casablanca", has finally been transformed from celluloid to wood, glass and plaster. Set in an old courtyard-style mansion built against the Old Medina, the restaurant piano bar is filled with architectural and decorative details reminiscent of the film.

To walk around the site today brings the grand achievements and daily routines of an ancient civilization vividly to life.

They are among the best known local populations due to their residence near the many game parks of the African Great Lakes, and their distinctive customs and dress. The Masai speak the Maa language a member of the Nilo-Saharan family that is related to Dinka and Nuer. Interact with them as you learn more about their traditions.

Vacation Day 9: Masai Mara Full-Day Exploration
Our full day in the Masai Mara Game Reserve will be on the hunt for the big cats of the Masai Mara. Enjoy the spectacular view of the famous migration during our game viewing and remember to keep a sharp lookout. We may witness a dramatic hunt; a solitary leopard retrieving its kill from the high branches of an acacia tree or a herd of elephants protecting their young from predators. The Masai Mara wildebeest migration is considered to be one of the wonders of the world, especially as they cross the Mara River. The reserve is also regarded as the most spectacular wildlife viewing area in Kenya with over 95 species of mammals and over 400 species of birds. Game viewing is never dull in the Mara and patience is rewarded with unique sightings, such as a pride of lion stalking prey. All meals will be served at the Lodge.

Vacation Day 10: Masai Mara – Nairobi
After breakfast we depart for Nairobi with a stop at the Nairobi shopping mall for a snack, light lunch or last minute shopping. Then we will go to the Giraffe Manor. Since its founders rescued a baby giraffe named Daisy from a heavily-poached area of western Kenya in 1974, their home has become a household name among wildlife lovers world-wide. Here we can feed the giraffe as well as kiss them.
This evening is our Farewell Dinner at the world famous Carnivore Restaurant, considered “Africa’s greatest eating experience” (if you love barbecue it doesn’t get better than this), and home to the “Simba Saloon” one of Nariobi's most popular night clubs. After dinner, you will be transferred to the Airport for your safe journey home.
