3-Day Masai Mara Wildlife Safari from Nairobi with Big 5 Game Drives

• 07:00 am: Pick up from your residence, airport, or hotel and drive via the Great Rift Valley to arrive at Maasai Mara in time for lunch.

• The Masai Mara National Reserve is Kenya's finest wildlife reserve. Everything about this reserve is outstanding. The wildlife is abundant, and the gentle rolling grasslands ensure that animals are never out of sight. Birds, too, are prolific, including migrants; well over 450 species have been recorded, among them 57 species of birds of prey.

• The climate is gentle, rarely too hot, and has well-spread rainfall year-round. Rain, when it falls, almost always comes in the late afternoon or at night. Between July and October, when the great wildebeest migration is in the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the sensation is unparalleled.
