Journey to the Mara and Afternoon Wildlife Quest

Depart Nairobi early at 7:00 AM in a comfortable 4x4 safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide. The 250 km drive west takes about 5-6 hours through scenic Rift Valley viewpoints. Mid-morning stopover at Narok town (around 10:00 AM) for a quick refreshment break and to enjoy local Maasai market vibes-pick up handmade beaded jewelry or fresh fruits while soaking in the highland panoramas.
Arrive at Masai Mara National Reserve gate by noon. Proceed to your room in Fisi Camp for check-in. Enjoy a leisurely lunch at the camp (typically buffet-style with Kenyan specialties like nyama choma grilled meats and ugali).
In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive into the reserve's vast grasslands. Spot elephants at waterholes, cheetahs on the prowl, and perhaps a pride of lions lounging in the shade. Return to camp as the sun dips, with sundowners overlooking the plains.
Dinner at 7:30 PM onward. Relax with storytelling sessions or stargazing before bedtime.

Dawn Safari and return to Nairobi

Early Morning (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) Wake before sunrise for a bush breakfast or coffee, then head out on a morning game drive. This golden hour is prime for sightings.

Mid-Morning (9:30 AM - 12:00 PM): Check out after a full breakfast (fresh fruits, eggs, and pastries). Enjoy a short stop at a nearby Maasai village (Manyatta) for a cultural visit-learn about warrior traditions and beadwork (1-hour, extra fee applies for purchase of beads).
Afternoon (1:00 PM): Depart Mara after lunch (light meals like salads and sandwiches). Drive back via the same scenic route, with a mid-afternoon stopover at a Rift Valley escarpment viewpoint (around 3:00 PM) for photos of the dramatic terrain and distant Lake Naivasha glimpses. Arrive in Nairobi by 6:00 PM, with time for transfers to your hotel or airport.
