Depart Nairobi for a magical drive descending into the Great Rift Valley and onwards to the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya’s most famous safari destination. En route, pause briefly at the Rift Valley Viewpoint to admire sweeping vistas of this vast geological wonder, said to be visible even from outer space. Continue your journey and arrive in time for lunch at the camp. Afterward, set out on an afternoon game drive across the Mara’s rolling plains, where magnificent wildlife awaits. Bordering Tanzania, the reserve forms the northern extension of the Serengeti and serves as a vital corridor for the Great Migration, one of nature’s most spectacular events. Along the Mara River, hippos and crocodiles thrive, while the reserve’s healthy predator population ensures excellent sightings of lions, cheetahs, and leopards. As the sun sets, return to camp for dinner and overnight, surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Rise early in the morning when the animals are most active for a morning game drive with your guide. This is yet another bush experience that will surely create lifetime memories.

Game Drive at the Park
Game Drive at the Park
You will be taken on two game drives today, in the morning before breakfast and in the late afternoon. Early mornings and late afternoons are considered the best time to spot animals as they are most active. To get some of the best game viewing of the day, an early start is needed to beat the heat of the sun. This is the time that the big cats are most active and can provide some of the most dramatic photography. Although it might be tempting to stay in bed and wait until the afternoon to explore, I promise you this is a game drive you don't want to miss. This is a bush experience that will surely create lifetime memories. To bring more texture to your experience at the Mara, you may want to take advantage of several optional events we offer at an extra cost. Want an unforgettable sight? Take a pre-dawn hot air balloon ride high above the reserve as the morning light breaks across the golden savannah and witness the herds of wildlife emerging into the day.
