Magic of the Masai Mara

Pick up from the airport or place of residence in Nairobi at 7:00 am. Your safari takes you to the Maasai Mara Reserve and into the domain of the Maasai, Kenya’s cattle-herding nomads determined to preserve their traditions.

The Mara is magnificent, home to Kenya’s richest concentration of wildlife, and regarded by many travelers as an essential stop on any tour of Africa. When Westerners think of Africa and safari, this is the place they imagine – golden grassland plains pocked with acacia, wildebeests, zebras, lions, and jackals bound together by the cycle of life and death. Three days here will only scratch at the surface of the wonders of the Mara.

Arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch, after lunch embark on an evening game drive until late evening when you settle for dinner and overnight.

Spend the day in Masai Mara, Kenya’s most popular game reserve where you will have the best opportunity to spot the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant. Game drives are flexible, with the option of going out with picnic lunch boxes to spend the entire day in the park, or you can choose to have early morning and late afternoon game drives.

You will also have the option of visiting a local Masai village (for US$20 per person payable directly).

Early morning breakfast at your camp check out of the camp and park and drive to Nairobi arriving in time for lunch (own expense), afterward drop off at your respective hotel or airport.
