3-Day Maasai Mara Safari with Big Five Game Drives

• Pick up from the airport or your place of residence in Nairobi at 7:00 am. Your safari takes you to the Maasai Mara Reserve, into the domain of the Maasai people. These cattle-herding communities of Kenya are known for their determination to preserve their traditions. The Mara is home to Kenya's richest concentration of wildlife and is regarded by many travellers as an essential stop while touring Africa. When westerners think of Africa and safari, this is often the place they imagine - golden grassland plains dotted with acacia trees, with wildebeests, zebras, lions, and jackals bound together by the cycle of life and death. Three days here will only scratch the surface of one of the wonders of the wild.

• Arrive in Maasai Mara in time for lunch.

• After lunch, leave for an evening game drive until late evening, then settle in for dinner and your overnight stay.
