You'll enjoy a 5-hour drive through scenic views of the Nairobi suburbs, beautiful savannah grasslands, and the plains of the Rift Valley. You will stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for photography shortly after, which you will continue the journey to the park. Upon your arrival at the park, you will check into your accommodation just in time for lunch.

Masai Mara National Reserve

This is the maiden day to explore the Masai Mara National Reserve. Our morning and afternoon game drives take you in search of Africa's Big Five and the wide array of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets that make for spectacular photos. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara, you will see plenty of wildlife, such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, and wildebeest. Elephants, buffalo, zebras, and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but reasonably common.

Note: There is an optional cultural visit to the Masaai tribe community within the park. This visit grants you a chance to learn about the Masaai culture, customs, ways of living, and their traditional cultural dance.
