Day 1

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

After a leisurely breakfast, your driver-guide reports to your hotel for the start of the safari. You will depart at 7:30am for a picturesque drive descending into the Great Rift Valley as you travel towards Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's famous national reserve. 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 will arrive at Masai Mara National Reserve in time for lunch. After lunch, we will have an afternoon game drive, allowing you to spot 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 Masai Mara National Reserve is in the northern extension of the Serengeti National Park and forms a wildlife corridor between the two countries. Your dinner and overnight stay will be at the lodge.

Masai Mara National Reserve

Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals as they are most active. This is when the big cats are most active and can provide some of the most dramatic photography opportunities.

You will search for the Big Five with game drives across the grassy plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve. You will have an opportunity to drive down to the Mara River, the site of the great annual migration from July to October. The immense herds of wildebeest and zebra are a magnificent sight, matched only by the drama of the predators waiting for them.

To add more excitement to your experience, you should take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. Experience a visit to the local Masai 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. Your driver-guide can arrange either of these optional excursions.
