After breakfast, embark on a picturesque drive past tea plantations and rural highlands as you head towards the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations.

Upon arrival:

• Enjoy lunch at your safari lodge or luxury tented camp

• Head out for a short evening game drive

• Capture your first sightings of lions, elephants, and wildebeests in the golden hour light

🌐 For aerial thrills, consider upgrading to our Kenya Air Safaris for a flight straight into the Mara.

Spend two full days exploring the breathtaking plains of the Maasai Mara, home to the Great Migration, the Big Five, and over 450 bird species.

Activities include:

• Morning and afternoon game drives

• Optional hot air balloon safari (extra cost)

• Picnic lunch by the Mara River

• Visit a local Maasai village to learn about traditional culture

Every moment is a chance to see predators in action—lion prides, cheetahs on the hunt, or leopards lounging in trees.

📷 Don’t forget your camera! These days are packed with unforgettable wildlife encounters and incredible photo opportunities.

On this day, you can either enjoy one last morning game drive in the Mara or take an optional detour to Lake Naivasha, a serene freshwater lake perfect for birdwatching and boat rides among hippos.

Lodging options in Naivasha offer a peaceful overnight before returning to Nairobi.

After breakfast, begin the return journey to Nairobi. Arrive by afternoon, just in time to catch your flight or continue your Kenyan adventure.
