Day 1 – Nairobi to Masai Mara: Scenic Drive and First Game Drive

Your adventure begins with a morning pick-up in Nairobi. You will travel in a comfortable 4×4 Land Cruiser with a pop-up roof, perfect for game viewing and photography. The drive takes you through the Great Rift Valley, where you’ll stop at viewpoints to admire breathtaking escarpments and take photos of the landscape. Continuing the journey, you’ll pass farmlands and traditional villages, giving you a glimpse of rural Kenyan life. Upon arrival at your camp or lodge, enjoy a warm lunch and settle in. Later in the afternoon, head out for your first game drive, a thrilling introduction to the Masai Mara.

Day 2 – Full-Day Safari Adventure in Masai Mara

After an early breakfast, set out for a full-day game drive carrying packed picnic lunches. This day is dedicated to exploring the heart of the Masai Mara, where the open savannah seems endless and wildlife roams freely. You will track the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo — as well as cheetahs, hyenas, and vast herds of plains game. If you are traveling between July and October, you may witness the breathtaking Great Wildebeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River in search of greener pastures and mating. The drama of survival at the river crossing, with crocodiles lying in wait, is one of nature’s most spectacular events. Your guide will position you for the best possible viewing. Return to your lodge in the evening for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.

Day 3 – Sunrise Game Drive, Leisure, and Afternoon Exploration

Wake up before dawn for a sunrise game drive, one of the most magical times in the Mara. The soft golden light creates perfect photography conditions as predators finish their nightly hunts and grazers begin to stir. You may catch sight of lions returning to their pride or hyenas scavenging before the heat of the day. Return for breakfast and enjoy some free time at your camp, perhaps swimming, relaxing, or simply taking in the endless savannah views. In the afternoon, set out for another game drive in a different area of the reserve, such as the Mara River region where hippos and crocodiles thrive. You’ll also have the option of visiting a traditional Maasai village (at extra cost) to learn about their culture, traditions, and way of life. Evening dinner and overnight at your lodge or camp.

After breakfast, check out and begin the scenic drive back to Nairobi. Along the way, reflect on the unforgettable memories created in the Mara. You will arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon, where you will be dropped off at your hotel or airport for your onward journey.
