Nairobi -Masai Mara National Park

Your safari adventure begins with a warm welcome at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, followed by a scenic drive through the awe-inspiring Great Rift Valley—one of Africa’s most iconic geological wonders. Stop at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint to soak in sweeping panoramas and capture stunning photos of the dramatic escarpment.

You’ll then continue to the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve, part of the greater Serengeti ecosystem. Renowned for the Great Wildebeest Migration, the Mara offers one of nature’s most thrilling spectacles as millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles cross the plains in search of greener pastures.

Upon arrival, check in at the luxurious Mara Serena Safari Lodge. After lunch, enjoy your first afternoon game drive through the vast savannah. Watch for the Big Five—lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino—alongside cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, and over 450 bird species.
