Day to day itinerary details
After breakfast, we’ll transfer you to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to the iconic Masai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival, head to your lodge for lunch and thereafter prepare for an utterly enchanted game drive in the Savannah grasslands of the Mara. Look out for big game such as the prides of lions, elephants, buffalo, wildebeests, zebras, and Masai giraffes, among others.
You’ll be taken on two game drives today, one in the morning from 6.15 am to 9 am, before breakfast, and the other in the late afternoon after lunch from 3.30 pm to 6.30 pm. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals at their most active. You may also choose to have a full day game drive (one for the whole day) to the Mara River with a packed picnic lunch at no extra cost. Expect to see part of the 1.5 million-strong herds of wildebeest, zebras, lions, leopards, cheetahs and other cats. Return in the evening for dinner and overnight at the camp.
Awaken early to start another morning game drive. We will drive out to the different tracks to see the numerous wildlife in the Mara. Return to the lodge for your midmorning rest. During the day, we’ll take you to a traditional Maasai tribe village on the outskirts of the reserve. The village visit, which lasts an hour, will give you a glimpse into the fascinating way of life of the Maasai, a nomadic warrior tribe of Kenya. Return to the lodge for lunch. In the late afternoon, enjoy another safari game drive in the reserve, which rewards you with more wildlife. Return for dinner at the camp.
Start off with an early breakfast and thereafter, start your journey back to Nairobi. Drive through the various towns, enjoying roadside activity, and arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon.
