Your Adventure Begins-Journey to the Legendary Masai Mara National Reserve

Your safari begins with a warm pickup from your Nairobi hotel or the airport, followed by a scenic drive to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. As you travel through changing landscapes—from lively towns to wide-open plains—you’ll feel the excitement build as you approach one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Upon arrival, you’ll check in to your lodge or tented camp, enjoy lunch, and have time to relax before heading out on your first thrilling game drive.

Over the next two days, you’ll enjoy exceptional game drives across the vast savannas of the Masai Mara, home to an incredible diversity of wildlife including the Big Five. During the summer months, this region becomes the stage for the Great Migration, offering the chance to witness massive herds of wildebeest and zebra and, at times, dramatic river crossings. Between game drives, unwind at your lodge or camp, savor delicious meals, and take in the peaceful beauty of the African wilderness.
