Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

(Opt to fly for an extra $400 per person and shave hours off the journey.) You’ll touch down just in time for a sumptuous lunch at your comfortable luxury lodge, then set off on your first afternoon game drive. As the slanting light ignites the savannah, watch for majestic elephants, lumbering buffalo, graceful giraffes—and, between July and October, the earliest whispers of the great migration stirring on the horizon.

Full Day at Masai Mara National Reserve

Rise before dawn for a morning game drive across the Mara’s golden plains, then pause riverside for a delicious picnic lunch under the acacia trees. Come afternoon, journey deeper into the reserve to track lion prides lazing in the tall grass, glimpse cheetahs as they stalk prey, and marvel at vast herds of wildebeest grazing the open savannah. You’ll visit must‑see spots like the bird‑filled Musiara Marsh, the sweeping vistas of Rhino Ridge, and the wide‑open expanses of Paradise Plains.

Optional Upgrade: Drift silently above the sunrise on a hot‑air balloon safari, then toast your flight with a champagne breakfast in the bush ($480 per person).
