Journey to Masai Mara via the Rift Valley
Leave Nairobi early in the morning and travel towards Kenya's fertile highlands, then descend the Rift Escarpment on a road built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II.
Look out for the charming chapel they built at the foot of the escarpment. Pass the impressive Longonot earth satellite station as you cross the valley to Narok, then continue through acres of wheat and barley fields before reaching the Masai Mara and your lodge in time for lunch.
In the afternoon, head out for a game drive with your Kenyan driver-guide.
Overnight at Mara Simba on a full-board basis.
