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

• Start with a safari briefing, then depart for Masai Mara through the dramatic Great Rift Valley. This enormous reserve is part of the vast Serengeti plains, famously known for the spectacular great wildebeest migration. It is also home to the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino.

• Have lunch at the camp and relax before departing for an afternoon game drive at the Mara Game Reserve, one of the world's greatest wildernesses. Among the park's residents are Masai giraffe, buffalo, eland, and thousands of plains game, including impala, zebra, topi, Thomson's gazelles, and Grant's gazelles.

Overnight at camp. The meal plan includes lunch and dinner.

• Carry packed lunches and set off in search of great predators and perhaps even cubs. Across the plains are enormous herds of grazing animals, along with the elusive cheetah and leopard hiding amidst acacia boughs.

• You will also have an optional opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.
