Day 01

Nairobi to Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley

  • Get picked up from your hotel at 7:30 am and head for Masai Mara in the company of your guide. Just a few kilometres from Nairobi, you will have a view of the Great Rift Valley, breathe in awe of the beautiful escarpment, and take clear pictures at the site for amazing memories.

  • Continue to Narok town, dominated by the Masai community, and shop for any basics you might need, since it is the last town you will see before reaching the reserve. Arrive at the camp in time for lunch, receive a welcome and briefing from the management, and then check in.
