Depart Nairobi early and head towards the Maasai Mara. The winding road narrows as you approach the escarpment, opening up to spectacular views of the Great Rift Valley. Stop at a viewpoint for a photoshoot and souvenir shopping from a nearby craft shop before proceeding.

Arrive in time for a sumptuous lunch and rest, enjoying beautiful views from the deck of your luxury lodge designed to blend with the serene set-up of this side of the reserve.
As the sun cools off and the savannah awakens, embark on an evening game drive tracking wildlife across the open grasslands. Spot lions circling herds waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Enjoy beautiful sightings as elephant families march in close groups with calves staying tightly around adults in a calm protective formation. Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
