Day 01

Nairobi to Masai Mara Game Reserve

After breakfast, pick-up from your hotel is at 8:00 am, and you will drive west to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, with lunch en route, arriving in time for an evening game drive. Masai Mara game viewing is Kenya's finest. Including migrants, well over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.

Although July, August, and September are the months when the Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra, there is also resident wildlife year-round. The famous Maasai tribesmen live within the dispersal area of the game reserve. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

The camp has hot showers and flush toilets.

Break for your picnic lunch at the hippo pool, looking out for hippos and crocodiles. Dinner and overnight at the camp.
