Nairobi to Maasai Mara

In the afternoon, you will go on your first game drive in the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The initial discovery allows for sight of the diverse and abundant wildlife the park is famous for, including large herbivores such as elephants, rhinos, and buffalos, and predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards. The open plains of the Mara ensure that wildlife is almost always in sight. Dinner and overnight at Mara Sopa.

Full day Maasai mara

The day is spent exploring the vastness of the Maasai Mara National Reserve on morning and afternoon game drives. You will have an early morning game drive, to locate the most active animals. The reserve hosts a rich and diverse animal population that includes lions, leopards, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas, elephants, kongoni, Topi, Thomson's gazelle, and Defassa waterbuck, and eight primate species. You will have a full-day game drive with a full picnic lunch, which you can enjoy in a scenic location like the hippo pool along the Mara River, where you will probably spot hippos and sunbathing crocodiles.

Later in the afternoon, you will continue your game spotting. Alternatively, you can also take a trip to a Maasai village to see the people around, learn their culture, and witness traditional dances (for an additional amount). You will return to Mara Sopa Lodge for dinner and overnight.
