Day to Day Itinerary
Day 1- Masai Mara
You will be picked up from the airport or your residence in Nairobi at 7:00 a.m. and then head south. Stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint (referred to as the Escarpment) and then head further south into the Maasai Mara, arriving in time for lunch. You will then get ready for your afternoon game drive, which will take place from 16:00 to 18:30. You have a chance to explore the savanna in search of the “big five” (rhino, lion, leopard, buffalo, and elephant) in this wonderful game reserve. Other popular animals include zebra, hippo, wildebeest, hyena, and more. After the game drive, you will return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 2- Full day Masai Mara
On this day you enjoy a full day game drive in the Mara after breakfast. You will get a packed lunch and a picnic in the wild.
Masai Mara Game Reserve is renowned for being host to the Great Wildebeest Migration. Millions of wildebeests cross over the Mara River every year from The Serengeti in search of grazing pastures. As they make their way across the Mara River, some of them are eaten by the hungry crocodiles as they make their way across (from mid-June till October). The Great Migration, which is listed as one of the wonders of the world, is an experience that you will live to remember.
In addition to this, Maasai Mara is home to other animals like waterbucks, baboons, gazelles, monkeys, impalas, Maasai giraffes among others, and over 500 bird species. Enjoy activities such as hot air balloon rides, game drives, game walks, Maasai cultural visits, and bonfires among other exciting activities.
Day 3: Maasai Mara
The third day in Mara will be spent exploring the extensive grasslands savannas. Your activities on this day will be largely dictated by the wildlife sightings and the weather patterns with options of half-day or morning and afternoon game drive whatever best suits you.

A visit to the nearby traditional Maasai communities gives you a glimpse into their rich culture and traditions.
