4 DAYS MASAI MARA SAFARI
Don’t want to spend time on the road and don’t mind skipping the chance to see Rhinos at Nakuru? Then this is the perfect tour for you. You will explore Masai Mara for all 4 days in this itinerary. We can modify this safari by visiting some of the private conservancies around Mara, allowing for activities such as hikes and night safaris which are not permitted in Masai Mara. Save even more road time by opting for flights from Nairobi.
This safari will give you plenty of time to explore the wildlife and wonders of perhaps the premier game park in the world! The Masai Mara Game Reserve is famous for its grand displays of animal life, landscapes and native culture. Once you’ve been to the Mara, you can say you have seen Africa.
SAFARI ITINERARY
Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve (265 km: Approx. 5-6 hrs drive)

07:30 hrs. We will pick you up from your Nairobi Hotel, residence, or the Nairobi airport.
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.
Your first game drive will be an introduction to the numbers and variety of wildlife you’ll experience during your three days in the park.
OVERNIGHT – We’ll spend the night at a safari lodge or tented camp of your choice.
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.
