You will be picked up from the hotel/airport in Nairobi at 07:00 am. This safari takes you to the Masai Mara National Reserve and into the domain of the Maasai, Kenya’s cattle-herding nomads determined to preserve their traditions. The magnificent Mara is home to Kenya’s richest concentration of wildlife, and is regarded by many travelers as an essential stop on any tour of Africa. When westerners think of Africa and safari, this is the place they imagine – golden grassland plains pocked with acacia, wildebeests, zebras, lions, and jackals bound together by the cycle of life and death. Three days here will only scratch at the surface of the wonders of the Mara. You will arrive at Masai Mara in time for lunch. Afterward, proceed on an afternoon game drive until late sunset when you settle for dinner and overnight.

Spend the day in Masai Mara, Kenya’s most popular game reserve, where you will have the best opportunity of spotting the Big Five – lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant. Game drives are flexible, with the option of going out with picnic lunch boxes to spend the entire day in the park, or you can choose to have early morning and late afternoon game drives. You will also have the option of visiting a local Maasai village (at a cost of US$20 per person).

Go on an early morning game drive in the park, before returning for breakfast at the camp. Check out of the camp and park, then proceed to Nairobi, arriving in time for lunch at the at local Restaurant. We will drop you off at the hotel/airport at 3:30 pm.
