Day 1

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

Your luxury safari begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel, followed by a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley—a geological wonder stretching across East Africa. Pause at the Rift Valley viewpoint to soak in panoramic views and capture unforgettable photos of this dramatic escarpment.

Continue on to the Masai Mara National Reserve, the northern jewel of the Serengeti ecosystem and world-renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration and the legendary Big Five. After check-in and lunch at your luxury lodge or tented camp, head out for an introductory game drive. This relaxed afternoon drive sets the tone for the thrilling wildlife encounters to come, as you begin spotting elephants, lions, giraffes, and more across the golden savannah.

Return to camp as the sun dips below the horizon. Enjoy a gourmet dinner and unwind in the comfort of your lodge, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
