Nairobi to Masai Mara

Our company driver-guide will pick you up from the airport or your hotel in Nairobi for a scenic drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve. You will have a stopover at the spectacular Great Rift Valley viewpoint to stretch your legs and photograph the contrasting landscapes, including Mt. Longonot. Proceed driving through the Rift Valley floor to the Mara, arriving in good time for lunch.

After lunch, embark on your first game drive in search of the animals that call this place home. The Masai Mara is one of our favourite places to look for wildlife in Kenya. That's because the wildlife here is incredible, with big cats (lions, leopards, and cheetahs) and elephants among the highlights. There's a good chance you'll also see giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas, and impalas. Remember to bring your binoculars, as more than 500 species of birds have been recorded in the reserve. It's also a place of beautiful savannah landscapes, with lots of acacia trees.
