The Journey Begins

Your safari expedition begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or airport. Set off on a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley, with a brief stop at a famous viewpoint to marvel at the sweeping vistas—an inspiring prelude to the wonders ahead. Arrive at your lodge in the Masai Mara by midday and enjoy a warm welcome and a delicious lunch. Take time to settle into your cosy accommodation and explore the camp’s inviting amenities that await you. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive, venturing into the Mara’s golden savannahs and riverine forests. Who knows what you'll encounter? Lions resting under acacia trees? Giraffes elegantly striding by? Warthogs scampering across open plains? The possibilities are endless. Return to camp at sunset for a luscious dinner, then unwind with a game of pool at the lounge bar or a romantic night of stargazing by the river before retreating to your room for a peaceful night’s sleep lulled by the sounds of nearby hippos.

Into the Wild

Dive deeper into the untamed Mara with a day dedicated to exploration. Choose between a full-day game drive with a charming picnic lunch in the heart of the reserve, or split the day into two game drives, pausing at noon to enjoy a freshly prepared lunch back at camp. Furthermore, an optional visit to a local Maasai village offers a fascinating glimpse into Maasai culture, as well as a hot air balloon ride for those wanting to take their safari & game viewing to the skies. Be ready for thrilling wildlife encounters, such as a cheetah and a gazelle locked in a life-or-death chase, birds of prey perched on trees keeping a watchful eye on feeding opportunities, and if the timing is right, millions of animals travelling the plains for greener pastures as the Great Migration unfolds before your eyes. Return to the lodge, feast upon a savoury dinner. Treat yourself to your favourite cocktails by the bar fireplace before drifting to sleep, embraced by the tranquillity of the Mara.
