Itinerary

Day 1 : Nairobi - Kenya

On the first day, we will pick you from Nairobi International Airport and take you to your first overnight hotel in this bustling East African city.

The first night is spent in Nairobi, before departing the next morning on the 10-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Mombasa Beach Tour.

Day 2 : Maasai Mara Game Reserve - Kenya

We leave Nairobi in the morning and travel southwest to the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Our journey to Masai Mara takes us through Kenya's scenic Great Rift Valley. We stop along the way to take in the breathtaking scenery before climbing the western side of the Rift Valley. Then we cross the Loita Plains into Maasai territory, passing Maasai warriors dressed in bright red robes tending their livestock along the road.

We keep an eye out for wildlife as we make our way to our overnight lodge in a private conservancy near Masai Mara, arriving in time for lunch.

After lunch, we go on an afternoon game drive in this beautiful Kenyan game park. We explore Masai Mara in search of the area's abundant wildlife, which includes Africa's Big Five: lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. We have dinner and relax in nature before returning to the tented camp near Masai Mara National Reserve. The camp, which is located on the banks of a river in the conservancy, is frequently visited by wildlife.

Day 3 :Maasai Mara Game Drives - Kenya

The Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's premier game reserve, will be visited for the next two days of game viewing.

Our morning and afternoon game drives take us in search of Africa's Big Five as well as the diverse wildlife that inhabits this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers spectacular orange-tinged sunsets that make for stunning photographs.

The Mara Game Reserve in southwest Kenya covers 1510km2 of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodlands, following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers. One look is enough to understand its allure; it is the quintessential open African savannah, teeming with wildlife.

There is plenty of wildlife in the vast Masai Mara Park, including Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, and wildebeests. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also plentiful. Lions are also frequently seen either basking after a large meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are more difficult to see, but they are fairly common.

The annual wildebeest exodus, known as the Great Migration, occurs in July and August, when millions of these grazers migrate north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before returning south in October. The Great Migration of hooved animals attracts Africa's predators, including lions, hyenas, and cheetahs.

Hot-air balloon rides are an incredible way to see the Savannah plains teeming with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips are available at an additional cost.
