Day 1
Nairobi → Masai Mara National Reserve
Your journey begins early this morning as we pick you up from the airport or your Nairobi hotel for a scenic drive into Kenya’s Great Rift Valley. As the landscape opens into rolling savannahs, you’ll feel the pace of everyday life fade behind you. By midday you enter the iconic Masai Mara, one of the last remaining places where wildlife still roams in breathtaking numbers.
You arrive at your camp in time for lunch before heading out for your first afternoon game drive. This is your introduction to the Mara’s abundant wildlife — elephants wandering across golden plains, lion prides lazing in the grass, and zebra herds stretching across the horizon. As the sun sets, return to camp for a warm dinner and the first peaceful night under canvas.

Day 2
Full-Day Safari in the Masai Mara
After breakfast, you set off for a full-day game drive with a packed picnic lunch to enjoy in the heart of the reserve. Today is dedicated entirely to wildlife. The Mara is one of the few places where it’s possible to spot the Big 5 in a single day. Lions with their striking black manes, elusive leopards, towering giraffes, vast elephant families, and cheetahs surveying the plains are all part of the daily rhythm of this land.
Bird lovers will find paradise here too, with nearly 500 species recorded — from raptors like eagles and hawks to elegant storks and the impressive kori bustard. By late afternoon you return to camp, filled with the day’s sightings and stories.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Transport: Full-day game drive in the reserve

Day 3
Sunrise Game Drive → Return to Nairobi
Wake before dawn for a magical sunrise game drive, the best time to witness predators on the move and animals starting their day. After a few golden hours in the wilderness, return to camp for a hearty brunch before beginning your road journey back to Nairobi.
Enjoy lunch en route and arrive in the late afternoon, where we drop you at the airport or your preferred location — ending your short but unforgettable Masai Mara safari.
