Start of your Safari from Nairobi

Your driver-guide reports to your hotel for the start of the safari, with an 8 am departure for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to Masai Mara, Kenya's famous game reserve. (Drive time: 5.5 hours). You will be in your own private and exclusive 4x4 Land Cruiser safari vehicle. You will stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of the largest Valley in the world, said to be visible from outer space. You arrive at your camp in Masai Mara for a leisurely lunch. Your afternoon game drive starts at 3.30 pm, allowing spotting of the amazing wildlife in the reserve, ranging from the big cats such as lions, leopards & cheetahs to rhinos, elephants and wildebeest. Our driver-guide will try his best to show you not just the Big Five animals but the ''Big Nine'' as well. You return to your tented camp by 6.30 pm.

Enjoy Full-day in Masai Mara National Reserve

You will be taken on two game drives today, one in the morning before breakfast and the other in the late afternoon after lunch. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals at their most active. As your safari is private, your game drive timings are flexible, convenient if travelling with children or if on a honeymoon when you perhaps want to lie in longer on some of the days. You may also choose to have a full-day game drive [one for the whole day] with a packed picnic lunch at no extra cost. You return in the evening for dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
