3-Day Masai Mara Safari with Great Migration and Big Five Game Drives

• Depart from Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, and drive down the escarpment via the floor of the scenic Great Rift Valley.

• Arrive at Maasai Mara Game Reserve in time for lunch in the afternoon.

• Check into your luxurious lodge or basic permanent tents, which are self-contained and fitted with feature beds and en-suite bathroom areas.

• At 4 pm, head out for your first thrilling game drive in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, one of East Africa's top safari destinations.

• At 6 pm, return to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay. During the night, you can hear a chorus of different animal sounds as they communicate with each other in the darkness - more than enough reason to visit.

• An evening sundowners cocktail while watching the sun go down is a wonderful way to end the day and is available at an extra cost.

Dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge.

• Rise early for a Masai Mara hot air balloon safari, which can be arranged at an extra cost.

• After breakfast, leave for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch at the Mara River migration bridge area. This day is spent game viewing in Kenya's finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.

• The morning and afternoon game drives take you in search of Africa's Big Five and the many other animals that inhabit this vast Kenyan game reserve.

• Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you are likely to see abundant wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers.

• The ultimate action here is undoubtedly the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August, when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again from October to December. Nothing is more thrilling than a bush dinner to end such an adventurous day, available at an extra cost.

Return in the evening for dinner and overnight at the camp/lodge.

• Start the day with an early morning game drive from 6:30 am to 9:00 am. You might be lucky enough to witness a hunt.

• At an extra cost, a bush breakfast can be arranged, followed by a visit to the Maasai village to conclude your Masai Mara safari experience.

• Depart from your safari lodge or camp at 10 am and enjoy an en-route game drive through the Masai Mara Reserve on day three.

• Return to bustling Nairobi, arriving at about 16:00.

This unforgettable 3-day Masai Mara safari ends upon arrival back in Nairobi.
