Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve - Game Drives in Masai Mara in the Afternoon
Kick-starting your safari with an early pickup from Nairobi, you will head towards the world famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The 6-hour long drive covers about 280km with a combination of smooth tarred roads and bumpy muddy trails. The last 90 minutes are particularly bumpy and not very suitable for people with back problems.
Apart from the famous “Big Five”, the Mara is known for another natural spectacle, the Great Migration. It is an annual activity which includes the migration of over one million wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, etc. from the Serengeti in Northern Tanzania to Kenya, crossing over the Mara River in search of fresh green feeding pastures. This is generally visible in the Masai Mara region in July or August.
The long day comes to an end with a delicious dinner and overnight rest at your chosen camp or lodge. Note that the last 1-hour drive to Masai Mara is on the corrugated and bumpy road. Clients with back problems can consider flying directly to (and out of) Mara.
