Package Overview
2 Day Maasai Mara Safari | Fast, Fierce & Wild
Short on time but hungry for the wild? The 2 Day Maasai Mara Safari is the ultimate express safari into Kenya’s greatest wildlife reserve. Designed for travelers with tight schedules but untamed spirits, this package gets you deep into Big Five territory fast — and brings you back with roaring stories and unforgettable sightings.
Departing straight from Nairobi, you’ll be in the Masai Mara by lunchtime, tracking lions, elephants, cheetahs, and more. In just 48 hours, you’ll experience Africa in full color and raw motion.
Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve
Your safari kicks off with an early morning pickup in Nairobi. Drive through the majestic Great Rift Valley, stopping for views and optional photos. Arrive in Masai Mara by midday, enjoy lunch, then hit the plains for an afternoon game drive.
Expect sightings of:
-
Elephants moving in silent herds
-
Cheetahs sprinting across golden grass
-
Lions lounging under acacias
-
Giraffes silhouetted at sunset

Day 2: Sunrise Safari – Return to Nairobi
Start with a sunrise game drive, the best time for catching predators on the move. Lions on the hunt, hyenas in the mist, and elephants bathing at dawn — it’s safari gold. After breakfast, check out and journey back to Nairobi, arriving late afternoon.
