Nairobi/Masai Mara National Reserve

You’ll be picked up from the airport for an early morning journey to the renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve. This reserve remains one of the last true wildernesses in Africa, where wildlife roams freely in large numbers, much like in centuries past. As the northern extension of the greater Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara is famous for the annual migration of wildebeest, zebras, and the predators that follow. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy lunch before heading out on an exciting afternoon game drive. In the evening, return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

Note: Accommodation can be adjusted to suit your preferences—upgraded for a more luxurious experience or downgraded for a more budget-friendly option.

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, you’ll set off for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch to enjoy in the wild. The Maasai Mara is renowned for its iconic black-maned lions and a rich variety of resident wildlife. It’s one of the rare locations where you might spot all members of the Big Five in a single morning. Some cheetahs in the area have become so accustomed to vehicles that they rest in their shade—or even climb on top for a better view of potential prey. Bird lovers will also be delighted by the nearly 500 recorded species, including 16 types of eagles, numerous hawks and falcons, six vulture species, eight stork species, four kinds of bustards (including the kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird), and nine species of sunbirds.

Note: Accommodation can be tailored to your preferences—upgraded for more luxury or adjusted to a more budget-friendly option.

As the day warms up, enjoy a serene boat ride across the lake, gliding past hippos and colorful birdlife. You'll also visit the island, home to freely roaming wildlife like zebras and giraffes, offering one last taste of Kenya’s natural beauty. Optional activities include cycling in Hell’s Gate National Park or guided nature walks for a closer connection to the landscape. In the late afternoon, you'll depart for Nairobi, arriving in the evening—just in time for travelers with night flights or evening plans.
