The itinerary

Day 01

Nairobi to Maasai Mara and Sunset Game Viewing

We will pick you up at the airport or your hotel in Nairobi and embark on a 6-hour journey to Maasai Mara.
Upon arrival at the camp, you'll enjoy lunch and check in to your accommodation.
At 4 p.m., we will proceed for an evening sunset game viewing in the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Afterward, return to the accommodation for a sumptuous buffet dinner and a relaxing evening.

Day 02

Full-Day Big Five Safari in Maasai Mara

Spend the entire day exploring Maasai Mara, searching for the Big Five animals. Picnic lunches will be provided in the Reserve as you soak in the beauty of the Mara. Throughout the year, you can spot resident hippos and Nile crocodiles along the banks of the Mara River.
Few places offer a higher concentration of wildlife than the Masai Mara, and sightings of four of the Big Five are almost guaranteed on any trip, although rhinos are more elusive.
The Mara is also one of the best reserves globally for observing the three big cats: leopard, lion, and cheetah. It's no wonder that the BBC TV show "Big Cat Diaries" is filmed in the reserve.

Day 03

Maasai Village Visit and Return to Nairobi

After an early morning breakfast, check out and visit the Maasai Village. Following the visit, we'll commence the drive back to Nairobi.
Upon arrival, you will be dropped off at the city center or your hotel within the city center. There won't be a game drive on this last day.
