Nairobi to Masai Mara

Your adventure begins at Wilson Airport, Nairobi, where you’ll catch a scheduled morning flight (9AM) to the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The one-hour flight takes you over the scenic Great Rift Valley, offering breathtaking views before descending onto the grassy plains of the Mara. Upon arrival at your designated airstrip, you’ll be warmly welcomed by your safari guide and transferred to your lodge or tented camp, enjoying a game drive along the way.

After settling in and enjoying lunch, you’ll have a bit of time to relax before heading out for your first afternoon game drive. This is your opportunity to explore the Mara’s abundant wildlife, including elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, and many more. As the sun sets over the savannah, return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Explore Masai Mara

Your second day is devoted to fully immersing yourself in the Masai Mara. After an early breakfast, set off on a morning game drive, when wildlife activity is at its peak. Your expert guide will help track animals and explain the intricate ecosystems that make the Mara one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations.

Depending on your lodge’s schedule, you may return for lunch and rest, or head out for a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch in the bush. Expect encounters with predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as well as herbivores such as wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles. If you're visiting during the Great Migration (typically July to October), you may witness thrilling river crossings and mass wildlife movements.

In the afternoon, enjoy another game drive or an optional cultural visit (extra cost) to a nearby Maasai village to learn about traditional customs and daily life. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and a relaxed overnight stay under the stars.
