Nairobi to Masai Mara - Into the Wild

Your journey begins as the bustle of Nairobi fades into the distance and you cross the sunlit Great Rift Valley. The scenery stretches into golden plains, with acacia trees silhouetted against the horizon. As you enter the Masai Mara, you might even spot a herd of elephants along the roadside. The day wraps up with your first game drive, the soft rumble of the Jeep, the whisper of grass and the thrill of seeing your first lion or gazelle. It is a moment that sparks a deep, almost primal connection to the wild.

Approximate drive time: 5–6 hours.
