Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll make your way to Wilson Airport for a 45-minute flight to Masai Mara. Your Masai guide will meet you at the airstrip and transfer you to our camp in Masai Mara with a short game drive en route. Basecamp Masai Mara sits on a picturesque bend along the Talek River in one of the most game-rich areas of the Masai Mara Reserve. You will enjoy lunch and plan to settle in for the rest of the afternoon. Your late afternoon will be spent exploring the Masai, renowned for the great wildebeest migration and abundant wildlife, including the Big Five. You will head back in the evening in time for a delicious three-course dinner, followed by story-sharing and stargazing around the fireplace. When you are ready, you'll retire to your tent to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the wilderness.
