Nairobi to the Heart of Maasai Mara

We will drive through the stunning Great Rift Valley, pausing at the viewpoint to capture breathtaking photos of the escarpment. Upon reaching the Maasai Mara National Reserve, you will check into the Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge in time for a delicious lunch.

​In the afternoon, set out for your first exhilarating game drive across the golden savannah. Keep your camera ready as we search for the Big Five and other diverse wildlife.
