Arrival, Transfer to Masai Mara and First Game Drive

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you'll be received by our safari representative, who will brief you on the journey ahead. You then depart for Masai Mara, passing through the scenic Ngong Hills and descending into the breathtaking Great Rift Valley. You arrive in Masai Mara at around noon and immediately check into Destiny Eco Camp. The camp is perfectly situated on the edge of the park and close to Olololomutia Gate in Eastern Mara.
After lunch and a short rest, you'll head out on your first game drive. Masai Mara is one of the few places where you will have a lot to see in just your safari drive, thanks to its high wildlife density, especially the major wildlife. It is the only park in Kenya where there are all three big cats in Africa in impressive numbers and the only place where lions are common ( you will have to meet them at least once in the three days).
Dinner and overnight at Destiny Eco Camp or similar.

Full Day Game Drive in Masai Mara

The entire day is dedicated to exploring the Masai Mara inside and out. It will be the most rewarding day of your safari, and the only moment you'll probably sight at least four of the big fives within one national park- lions, elephants, buffalos and leopards (though at times leopard can be elusive as they prefer dense woodland environment). On this day, you can add a sunrise hot-air balloon safari for an unforgettable aerial view, always ending with a shared champagne to celebrate the experience.
Game drive continues till evening when you return to the camp for the night.
