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

• You will be picked up from your hotel in the city center or Westland area and driven to Masai Mara, Kenya's world-renowned game reserve.
• En route, stop at the Great Rift Valley for stunning views, then continue to arrive before lunch.
• The afternoon game drive allows you to spot the unrivalled wildlife in the park.

Dinner and overnight at Rhino Mara Camp or equivalent.

• On this day, you will spend the day viewing game in Kenya's finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve.
• Your morning and afternoon game drives take you in search of Africa's Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets worth capturing on camera. The Mara Reserve covers 1510 km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of Kenya's Mara and Talek rivers. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is a typical open savannah with a mass of amazing wildlife.
• Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you will see abundant wildlife, such as Masai giraffes, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyenas, topis, impalas, hartebeests, and wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common. The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August, when millions of these grass-eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.
• Optional hot-air balloon trips are an outstanding way to see the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. You can also visit a Masai village as an optional activity.
• Return in the evening for dinner and overnight at the camp.

• On this day, you will wake up and enjoy the scenic view from your hotel.
• Later, have breakfast and depart for Nairobi, arriving by 1530 hrs.
• On arrival in Nairobi, you will be dropped off at your hotel within the city center or the Westland area.
