Into the Wild Heart of Maasai Mara

Into the Wild Heart of Maasai Mara

Departing Nairobi, your journey begins with a drive south-west into the Great Rift Valley. A stop at the viewpoint offers a staggering panorama of the valley floor below. Continue onwards, the landscape gradually transforming into the rolling golden savannah that characterizes the world-renowned Maasai Mara.

Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, often accompanied by the first wildlife sightings right from the deck. Your first afternoon game drive is an awakening of the senses. The Mara's vast plains are dotted with acacia trees and teeming with life. Expect to see immense herds of zebra, wildebeest, and graceful giraffes. This initial exploration sets the stage, with every turn holding the potential for a lion sighting or a cheetah surveying the grasslands. Return to your lodge for dinner under a canopy of stars, surrounded by the sounds of the African night.
