In your private safari vehicle, we’ll journey out to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve.
We should arrive at the Masai Mara at about lunchtime, which we’ll enjoy at our chosen accommodation.
Then, get ready for the awesome expanse and stirring wildlife populations of the great reserve. This is one of the world’s great ecosystems and unparalleled for its diversity of wildlife. Hunters and grazers, both large and small fill the sweeping hills and savannahs of the beautiful park.

Choose from Budget, economy, comfort, or luxury accommodations, depending on your budget, style, and taste.
FULL DAY – MASAI MARA
Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
We’ll be up early to view the park’s abundant wildlife, said to the densest of any park in the region. This will be a day of unlimited game drives over the golden fields and past the distinctive acacia trees adorning these plains.
Be on the lookout for Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The birdlife is also abundant, and should you be here during the season of the Great Migration (July – October), prepare yourself to witness the largest movement of animals on the planet.
Primarily made up of wildebeest and zebra, the migrating animals cross into the park by the thousands at the Mara River, also the site of hippos and waiting crocodiles. The potential drama here is inescapable as the streaming herds enter these lands for fresh grasses as the predators lie in wait.
Another optional event is an early morning hot air balloon ride over the reserve. Take in the park below coming to life as the fields light up and the wildlife begins a new day on the savannah. A magnificent experience – just ask your driver/guide to set up either or both activities.
OVERNIGHT – We’ll spend the night at a safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.
Choose from economy, comfort, or luxury accommodations, depending on your budget, style, and taste.
Meal plan.Breakfast, lunch.
Our last safari day – let’s make the most of it with an early rise and game drive. By now you should be checking off your list of animal sightings but there’s always time for more.
You’re sure to have seen zebra and gazelle but keep an eye out for cheetah moving through the bush, plus jackal and hyena.
We’ll enjoy one last game drive as we exit the park on our way back to Nairobi.
A stop for lunch will break up the drive back to town.
