As one of the rare locations where all members of the big five can be spotted, this reserve also boasts witnessing one of the world’s last great animal migrations.

Day 1 :

Journey to the Masai Mara

Your safari adventure begins with a meet-and-greet at either the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi or your city hotel. Your friendly driver-guide will provide a brief introduction and safety briefing before whisking you away towards the Masai Mara. As you travel, marvel at the dramatic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley, a geological marvel stretching across Africa. Upon reaching the Masai Mara National Reserve around midday, embark on an en-route game drive, keeping your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings as you make your way to your comfortable lodge nestled deep within the reserve. After a delicious lunch and a chance to relax, embark on your first afternoon game drive, exploring the vast plains and encountering the diverse inhabitants of this wildlife paradise. As the sun dips below the horizon, return to your lodge for a delectable dinner and a restful night's sleep.

Day 2 :

A Full Day of Wildlife Exploration

After a scrumptious breakfast, gear up for a thrilling full-day game drive in the Masai Mara. Witness the breathtaking spectacle of the African savanna teeming with life. Keep your eyes peeled for lions stalking their prey, graceful zebras grazing on the plains, and playful cheetahs sprinting across the landscape. For an unforgettable experience, consider adding a hot air balloon safari over the Masai Mara at an extra cost (availability permitting). This optional activity offers a unique aerial perspective of the reserve and its vast wildlife populations.

You'll have the flexibility to choose between morning and afternoon game drives, or opt for a full-day excursion with a packed lunch to maximize your wildlife viewing opportunities. As the day draws to a close, you have the option to visit a traditional Maasai village and gain insights into the fascinating culture of this semi-nomadic tribe who have coexisted with wildlife in this region for centuries. In the evening, enjoy a sundowner with breathtaking views, savoring the golden hues of the setting sun painting the sky with vibrant colors.
