Day 1
Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve
Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve
You will be picked up by our representative from your Nairobi hotel after breakfast or at the airport at 7:00 am and drive through the spectacular Great Rift Valley with a stopover at the escarpment viewpoint en route to the Masai Mara. You will arrive in time for lunch at the Mara Maisha Camp.
The Masai Mara is world famous for the annual great wildebeest migration that takes place in July and August, where close to a million wildebeest migrate to the Mara River in search of pasture. From 4:00 to 6:30 pm, you will enjoy your first evening game drive. Our guide will take you through the reserve, where you will be surprised by the high concentration of wild animals. Here, herds of elephants roam freely, and wildebeests, buffalos, impalas, Thomson’s gazelles and zebras graze in their numbers. Big cats are not hard to spot, either, including the elusive leopards. The Mara is one of the few places you are guaranteed to spot the famous Big Five on a single morning or afternoon.

Full Day in Masai Mara National Reserve
You will start the day in this haven of wildlife with a morning game drive from 6:30 to 8:30 am. You'll return to the camp for breakfast. You'll spend the morning at leisure with an optional visit to the Maasai village or a balloon safari. Alternatively, you can take a nature walk within the lodge with the naturalist who will tell you more about the fauna and flora of the Mara ecosystem. After lunch, you can spend the afternoon at leisure.
From 4:00 to 6:30 pm, you will enjoy your evening game drive. This reserve is not only the most popular game reserve in the country, but it is probably why people visit Kenya. The reserve is set on a classic African savannah, and the huge density of wildlife is astounding. Zebras, wildebeests and gazelles graze in large herds and as a matter of fact, where prey is plentiful, so are the predators.

Day 3
Masai Mara - Lake Naivasha National Park
Masai Mara - Lake Naivasha National Park
After breakfast, you will drive to Lake Naivasha, a beautiful freshwater lake fringed by thick papyrus. The lake and its surroundings are rich in natural bounty, and the fertile soils and water supply have made this one of Kenya's prime agricultural regions. Much of the lake is surrounded by forests of the yellow-barked Acacia xanthophlea, known as the yellow fevertree. These forests teem with birdlife, making Naivasha a world-class birding destination. In addition, the lake's waters draw a great range of wildlife to its shores. Giraffes wander among the acacia, buffalo wallow in the swamps, and colobus monkeys call from the treetops while the lakes' large hippo population sleeps the day out in the shallows.
You can have an optional boat ride to explore the lake. Should you be interested, you can visit the Crescent Island for a walking safari.
