Nairobi to Masai Mara

Early in the morning at around 0730 AM we will depart from Nairobi CBD along Biashara street and embark on our 6-hour journey to Maasai Mara National Reserve. We will pass through the dramatic Great Rift Valley escarpment, where we make a quick stop for pictures and a bathroom break. Immediately after proceed with our journey, arriving in the Mara at the perfect time for a hot meal. Check in at the camp, have lunch, followed by a short siesta. Later on in the afternoon, at around 1530hrs, our professional guide will pick you up for your first game drive. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains, famously known for it’s breathetaking wildebeest migration. The Mara is also well known for being home to the big five – the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. After an exciting game drive, head back to your camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
