Full-Day Game Drive in Masai Mara – Wildlife, Wonder & Optional Balloon Safari

Begin your day with a hearty breakfast at the camp. Afterward, set off for a full-day game drive through the spectacular Masai Mara National Reserve.

Your day will be filled with opportunities to spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and antelope in their natural habitat.

Bird lovers will also be delighted, as the reserve is home to over 470 species of birds, including ostriches, crowned cranes, vultures, and various raptors.

For guests seeking a unique and truly magical experience, this is the perfect day to opt for a Hot Air Balloon Safari—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the Mara from above. Drift silently over the plains at sunrise as the wildlife begins to stir below. It’s a breathtaking “game drive in the sky,” followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. This activity is optional and can be arranged in advance—a surreal addition to your safari story.

Back at the camp, a warm buffet dinner awaits.

Masai Mara – Naivasha – Nakuru Culture, Scenic Beauty & Optional Lakeside Adventures

After breakfast, enjoy an optional visit to a Maasai village in the Mara (approx. $20 pp) to learn about their rich culture and traditions. Then begin your journey toward Lake Nakuru, passing through the scenic Great Rift Valley. Stop for lunch in Mai Mahiu with views of Mount Longonot, and head to Lake Naivasha for optional activities like a boat ride to see hippos and birds, or a walking safari on Crescent Island alongside giraffes and zebras. These experiences offer a peaceful contrast to game drives and are a great way to connect with nature. Afterward, continue to Nakuru and check in at a midrange hotel for dinner and overnight stay. Note: There won’t be time for a game drive in Nakuru today (we do it in the morning before heading to Amboseli) however your lakeside stop in Naivasha ensures a memorable and engaging travel day.
