Day 1

Nairobi to Masai Mara

Nairobi to Masai Mara

Your safari starts with a highlight, taking you straight from the busy city of Nairobi to one of the greatest wildlife destinations on earth: the Masai Mara. After a short briefing about your upcoming safari it is time to head west in your 4×4 Land Cruiser. When city dwellings change into acacias and shrubs, you know you are driving deeper into Masai land.

In the afternoon, you embark on your first game drive around the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Look out for lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes and many other species you expect to see on a safari. Your safari guide will share many interesting facts about wildlife and the Mara ecosystem. You will be surprised how much you will see and learn on only your first day of your safari. When the shadows grow longer, you will make your way to your home for the next three nights, the Base Camp Masai Mara at the banks of the Talek River.

Transfer Time: ~6-7 hours.

Masai Mara National Reserve
Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and July or August to October (For wildebeest migration)

Day 2-3

Masai Mara

Masai Mara

Enjoy a whole day of game drives in the magnificent Masai Mara. If you visit the Mara during the Great Migration, stop at the Mara River to witness – with a bit of luck – a river-crossing of wildebeest and zebras, as they swim through the crocodile-infested waters. The Masai Mara is a stunning wildlife destination year-round and any month of the year you can encounter the Big Five and many more. The wind in your hair, take in the vast plains and the breath-taking scenery around you.

You will stay another night at the Base Camp Masai Mara, just outside the game reserve. Since animals don’t mind borders, you should look out for wildlife around camp while you enjoy a sundowner before dinner.

Book a boat trip on the lake to spot some of the 500 bird species, take a walk across the lodge’s grounds or spend the day by the swimming pool and relax with a good book. It’s time to slow down and take a rest ahead of your next safari experiences.

Passing the Ngong Mountains on your way, you drive south towards the Tanzanian border where you will find Amboseli, home to large elephant herds. If the weather permits, you will be rewarded for the long drive with a breath-taking view of a lifetime: Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro and its snow-capped Uhuru Peak can be spotted in the distance while elephants walk majestically amongst acacia trees.

Your home for the next two nights is the Elerai Camp, located in a private conservancy just south of the park. Watch wildlife at the camp’s own waterhole or enjoy the views of Kilimanjaro from the swimming pool.
