Program
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara
Upon your arrival, you’ll find one (or two) of the tour guides excitedly waiting for you and ready to take you through this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Characteristically, you arrive at the airport 1 hour before your flight arrival time. Just so you can rest assured that there’s a tour agent, born and raised in Kenya, ready to welcome and show you the beauty of Kenya.
After formally welcoming you, you’ll board the luxurious 4x4 safari van. You will leave Nairobi and ease into the Nairobi-Nakuru highway, making a stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. Here, you will have your first encounter with Kenya’s beauty. The Great Rift Valley spreads from the north to the south of Kenya and is a must-see panorama for those traveling to the Masai Mara by road.
There are also curio shops located strategically around the viewpoint where you can buy some last-minute items such as a wide-brimmed hat or shawl.
After leaving the viewpoint, your driver will head towards Masai Mara driving past Mt. Longonot, and Suswa ranges among other remarkable places with stopover for lunch in Narok then proceed to Masai Mara for everning game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Rhino Tourist Camp or similar.
- Main destination: Masai Mara National Reserve
Day 2: Masai Mara
You’ll be up early to view the park’s abundant wildlife, said to be the densest of any park in the region. This will be a day of unlimited game drives with picnic lunch after breakfast for golden fields and past the distinctive acacia trees adorning these plains. Be on the lookout for Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The birdlife is also abundant, and should you be here during the season of the Great Migration (July – October), prepare yourself to witness the largest movement of animals on the planet.
Primarily made up of wildebeest and zebra, the migrating animals cross into the park by the thousands at the Mara River, also the site of hippos and waiting crocodiles. The potential drama here is inescapable as the streaming herds enter these lands for fresh grasses as the predators lie in wait.
Adding more richness to your Masai Mara experience, you can enjoy an optional visit to one of the local villages. There, you’ll meet the Maasai and see their lifestyle up close.
Another optional event is an early morning hot air balloon ride over the reserve. Take in the park below coming to life as the fields light up and the wildlife begin a new day on the savannah. A magnificent experience – just ask your driver/guide to set up either or both activities. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the Rhino Tourist Camp or similar.
