Itinerary Day by Day
Our driver/guide will pick you up from your hotel/Airbnb to begin your safari adventure. This morning you will depart for Masai Mara with a brief stopover at the Great Rift Valley for breathtaking views and photography of the escarpment. Then, you'll proceed to the Masai Mara, approximately 5-hour drive to the main gate and arrive before lunch.
In the evening, you'll go for an introductory game viewing drive until sunset and go back to the camp before dinner and an overnight stay.
This morning, you'll go for a full-day wildlife-viewing drive inside the world's renowned Masai Mara National Reserve in search of the Big Five!
You'll spend your day driving through the vast savannahs and rolling plains, coming across different species of wildlife, including black-manned lions, cheetahs, leopards, elands, impalas, zebras, wildbeests, Thomson's gazelles, but also numerous elephants, experiencing different hunting, feeding, and mating scenes.
The Mara River traverses from North to South. This course is a natural barrier crossed each year by the large migratory herds of wildebeest, Thomson's gazelles, and zebra, en route to the crocodile-infested Mara River, coupled with predatory cats. This experience is often emphasized by our driver-guides, and guests can also hike across the Mara River accompanied by armed park rangers. You'll break for a picnic lunch at the hippo pods before returning to your camp/lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
Today, you'll enjoy a relaxed breakfast, then summarise your safari adventure with a visit to the Masai Village nearby to learn firsthand about their culture and traditions. You will be invited to try dancing and have the opportunity to interact with the Masai people right in their dwellings. Thereafter, you'll depart for Nairobi with a drop-off at your initial starting point.
