Your Adventure Begins - Journey to the Iconic Masai Mara

Your Adventure Begins - Journey to the Iconic Masai Mara

Arrive in Nairobi where your private safari guide greets you and sets out with you on a scenic 4–5 hour drive across the Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch and a short rest before heading out on your first afternoon game drive. The wide-open plains are alive with wildlife, from elephants and giraffes to prides of lions preparing for their evening hunt, giving you an incredible introduction to the magic of Africa.

Spend the following day fully immersed in the Mara. With both morning and afternoon game drives, you’ll follow the wildebeest and zebra herds, watch predators stalking the savannah, and marvel at the variety of wildlife that makes this reserve world famous. Your guide will tailor the drives to maximize your migration sightings while also showing you elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, and the many smaller animals that call Mara home. Evenings at your lodge bring sundowners, fine meals, and the unforgettable sounds of the African night.

Onward to the Legendary Serengeti

On day three, drive north toward the Isebania border, passing through small towns and scenic hillsides before completing your passport formalities. From there, continue south into Tanzania and enjoy lunch on the way before entering the Serengeti. The drive is essentially a game drive in itself, offering glimpses of elephants, antelope, and giraffes before you arrive at your lodge in the evening just in time to check in, relax, and enjoy dinner.

The next day is devoted to exploring the Serengeti’s incredible plains. Choose between a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch or morning and afternoon drives, returning to your lodge during the midday heat. Either way, you’ll find yourself in the middle of one of Africa’s most legendary wildlife regions, encountering lions, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, and the ever-shifting herds of wildebeest and zebra. As the sun sets, return to your lodge to unwind after a thrilling day on safari.

Ndutu and the Great Wildebeest Migration

On day five, set out on a game drive through the Serengeti en route to your lodge in the Ndutu area, one of the most famous migration hubs. The journey itself is packed with sightings, and by midday you’ll arrive at your lodge in time for lunch. After a short rest, head out on an afternoon game drive to track the massive herds that fill the Ndutu plains during this season. It’s a breathtaking sight as thousands of animals graze, move, and interact across the open landscape.

Day six is dedicated entirely to the Great Migration in Ndutu. Your guide will take you to the best vantage points, whether you opt for a full-day excursion with a picnic lunch or morning and afternoon drives. The action here is intense—predators shadow the herds, calves are born in staggering numbers, and lions, hyenas, and cheetahs are never far away. Few places on earth deliver such a raw, powerful display of nature’s cycle of life. Return each evening to your lodge for a delicious dinner.

The crater floor teems with over 25,000 animals, including elephants, wildebeest, zebras, flamingos, and some of the last remaining black rhinos in East Africa. By evening, you’ll arrive at your lodge on the crater rim to enjoy dinner and sweeping views.

The following day brings another opportunity to explore the crater, either on a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch or with a morning drive followed by a relaxing afternoon at your lodge.
