This safari begins with a short scenic flight from Nairobi to the world-famous Masai Mara, where endless savannahs and abundant wildlife await. After a warm welcome at the airstrip, you’ll settle into your camp and enjoy a relaxing lunch before heading out for your first game drive. As the sun dips below the horizon, the Mara comes alive with dramatic sights of wildlife preparing for the night, creating unforgettable golden-hour memories.
Your second day is dedicated to exploring the Masai Mara in depth. With up to three game drives, you’ll have excellent chances of spotting the Big Five and witnessing the rich diversity of the reserve. For those seeking extra magic, optional experiences such as a sunrise hot-air balloon safari or a cultural visit to a Maasai village offer unique perspectives of both the landscape and the people who call it home. Each moment here combines adventure with authenticity, promising a true safari highlight.
Begin your adventure with a morning departure from Wilson Airport in Nairobi on a scheduled flight to the renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival at Ol Kiombo Airstrip, you will be warmly welcomed by your driver-guide, who will transfer you to the camp for check-in and lunch.
Later in the afternoon, you may choose to embark on a game drive. As the golden sun sets over the vast savannah, watch as wildlife begins to settle in for the night—often gathering in herds, offering a spectacular and serene end to the day.
Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.
Today offers the chance to enjoy up to three game drives, increasing your chances of spotting the Big Five—though leopards may remain elusive due to their solitary nature. A packed lunch for a full-day game drive can be arranged with your guide, depending on weather and road conditions.
You can enhance your safari with optional experiences at an extra cost, including a sunrise hot air balloon ride with panoramic views of the savannah, or a cultural visit to a local Maasai village for insight into their traditional way of life.
Enjoy your final breakfast in the heart of the bush before checking out of the camp. You'll have a game drive en route to the airstrip for your mid-morning flight back to Nairobi. Please note that late departures from the reserve may incur extra charges due to the 12-hour park rule.
Drop-off transfers within Nairobi can be arranged in advance as per your request.
