Day 02

Full-Day Game Drive in Maasai Mara

Enjoy an early breakfast, as today will be a game-viewing extravaganza!

You'll traverse the Masai Mara Reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game. The Masai Mara National Reserve remains one of the most exciting wildlife ecosystems in the world. It hosts the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals of any other regional wildlife park. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wild game species make it a one-stop shop for game-viewing activities.

You will have a picnic lunch by the Mara River as we watch hippos and crocodiles, or maybe the great migration (July - September).

Day 03

Maasai Village Visit and Return to Nairobi

After breakfast, enjoy an optional visit to a traditional Maasai village to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Maasai people. This cultural experience, known as a Maasai Village Tour, costs approximately USD 10-20 per person and is paid directly at the village. During the visit, you'll learn about the Maasai's unique traditions, customs, and daily way of life.

After the cultural tour, depart for Nairobi, arriving in the late evening. You will be dropped at your hotel or airport to catch your flight back home.
