Nairobi-Masai Mara National Reserve

After a leisurely breakfast, your driver-guide reports to your hotel for the start of the safari, with a 7.30 am departure for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to Masai Mara, Kenya's famous game reserve. You'll stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of an enormous valley system said to be visible from outer space. You'll arrive in Masai Mara in time for lunch. After lunch, you will have an afternoon game drive, which will allow spotting of the magnificent wildlife in the park. The reserve is known for providing excellent predator sightings thanks to its relatively large population of lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Bordering Tanzania, the Mara is in the northern extension of the Serengeti and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. You will then go back to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.

To bring more texture to your experience, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. You'll experience a visit to the local Maasai people in their nearby village and a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah.
