Nairobi to Maasai Mara scenic drive and game viewing

After breakfast, you’ll be picked up from your Nairobi hotel for the journey to the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve. Enjoy a scenic drive through Kenya’s breathtaking landscapes, with a stop at the Great Rift Valley Escarpment for panoramic views and photo opportunities. The drive continues through the countryside, local towns and Maasai villages, offering a glimpse into rural life.

As we approach the Maasai Mara, the terrain transforms into vast savannahs teeming with wildlife. Upon entering the reserve, enjoy a short en-route game drive as we head toward your tented camp. Keep an eye out for elephants, zebras, giraffes and other animals that may appear along the way.

Arrive at your accommodation in time to relax, freshen up and take in the peaceful surroundings. In the evening, enjoy a hearty dinner as you listen to the sounds of nature around you—your true safari experience has just begun in the heart of the wild.

Day 3

Maasai mara to Nairobi-Return Journey

Maasai mara to Nairobi-Return Journey

After an early breakfast, we check out of the lodge and depart the Maasai Mara with a final en-route game drive. The early morning is one of the best times for wildlife sightings, as animals are most active before the day gets too hot. This is your last chance to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, or even a cheetah on the hunt—so keep your camera ready!

We exit the reserve and begin our scenic drive back to Nairobi, retracing the route through the vast plains, local villages, and the dramatic Great Rift Valley Escarpment, where we’ll make a brief stop for photos or refreshments. The journey offers a relaxing transition from the wild back to urban life, with beautiful landscapes along the way.

Arrive in Nairobi in the late afternoon. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport, depending on your departure plans. This marks the end of a memorable safari experience filled with wildlife, culture, and stunning scenery.
