3-Day Masai Mara Safari with the Grand Wildebeest Migration

Get picked up from your place in Nairobi at 08:00 am. You will be briefed on your exact pickup time once you confirm where you are staying in the city, then depart for Masai Mara Game Reserve at 8:30 am.

Travel via the viewpoint of the western Great Rift Valley. On the way, you will get a chance to spot Mt. Longonot, which used to be active but is now dormant.

Your lunch will be served in Narok town at 12 pm.

Drive deep into the Masai plains, arriving at around 3 pm for check-in at the tented camp or lodge.

Start your first introductory game drive in the afternoon, tracking the various animal species and birds that inhabit the area. Your guide will spot wildlife for you and give you a close-up look, along with details about their behaviour and way of life.

Head back to the camp or lodge at 06:30 pm for a hot shower, dinner, and an overnight stay.

Start with breakfast at the camp or lodge, and by 8 am leave with picnic lunches for an extensive game drive.

Look out for all of the Big Five - lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant. The landscape here is scenic savannah grassland on rolling hills, and the reserve is the best park for game viewing in Kenya because its extensive road and track network allows for close-range viewing and photography.

Head to the Mara River, the focal point of the Migration and the best place to spot crocodiles and hippopotamuses.

Break for your picnic lunch after viewing the hippos and crocodiles, at 1 pm.

Continue the game drive until 4 pm.

Take optional activities such as a visit to a Maasai village.

Head back for a hot shower, dinner, and an overnight stay at the tented camp or lodge.

Early in the morning, head out for a pre-breakfast game drive to track the wildcats as they hunt and kill very early in the day. You will have several great chances to view lions, cheetahs, and leopards at this time of the morning. If you are lucky, you may witness a hunt and a kill.

At 9:00 am, head back to the camp for a full breakfast and later depart the Mara region for Nairobi, with a short stop at a store where you can buy some souvenirs.

Arrive in Nairobi at around 4 pm, where you can be dropped off at your hotel or accommodation.
