Day 1

Nairobi - Masai Mara

Nairobi - Masai Mara

Arrive in Nairobi and be transferred to Wilson Airport for your 45-minute flight to Masai Mara. Your Masai guide will be waiting for you. Basecamp Wilderness is located in one of the most game-rich regions of the Mara Naibosho Conservancy. It offers stunning views especially at dawn and dusk. Time spent under canvas at Basecamp Wilderness is the perfect antidote to the hustle, bustle, and artifice of modern life.

After some rest and relaxation, start your Mara Adventure immediately with a game drive and picnic lunch to enjoy while you watch passing wildlife by the river, or out on the plains.

Spend the afternoon discovering the Mara North Conservancies and see a different and less-explored area of the Mara ecosystem: far more exclusive yet abundant in wildlife.

If the weather permits, enjoy a starlit dinner in the heart of the wilderness and rest for the night afterwards.

Day 2

Mara Naboisho Conservancy

Mara Naboisho Conservancy

Start your day with a walking safari as you transfer to the phenomenal, luxury Saruni Eagle View. This camp offers expansive vistas to the point where the plains meet the canvas of the sky. The hilltop location of this eco camp gives visitors a front-row seat to the animal dramas that take place around the natural salt lick and drinking hole underneath the main area. Have bush breakfast under the vast African skies(if weather permits). Continue with the walking safaris and later have lunch.

In the afternoon, your guide will continue to reveal the secrets of Kenya's most abundant wildlife area, followed by dinner at the camp and an optional night game drive to find lesser-known nocturnal animals. Enjoy a sundowner in the bush before heading back to the camp for a delicious meal followed by sharing tales from your day with fellow guests around the fireplace.

Day 3

Naibosho Conservancy

Naibosho Conservancy

The rosy dawn is the ideal time to observe Naboisho's life cycle as it slowly unfolds. Game drives from Saruni Eagle View can include excursions off-road, which would be prohibited in a National Reserve. This allows you to get closer to the animals you most want to see, and can yield great photographic opportunities.

Savor a picnic brunch in the midst of the savannah with further opportunities to view wildlife as you eat.

Unwind in camp during the heat of the day, before embarking on another game drive to new areas within the Conservancy, s your local guide utilizes his bush skills to spot the animals you most want to see. As the sun sets on your evening game drive, you will stop at a scenic location to enjoy sundowner drinks and snacks. Extend your evening safari adventure into the twilight hours in the hopes of spotting the fascinating nocturnal creatures. Return to camp for dinner, followed by relaxation around the campfire as you let the lull of the night wash over you.

Day 4

Naboisho - Nairobi

Naboisho - Nairobi

Make the most of your last day. Enjoy an early morning game drive or a walking safari before returning to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast have a laid back break from the heat of the day as you pack your personal belongings.

After lunch bid your Masai host goodbye. Your transfer to the airstrip will include a game drive en-route so keep your camera ready! Reach the Naboisho Airstrip in time for your scheduled afternoon flight, the perfect departure time for international connections.

That marks the end of this thrilling Mara adventure with Shanjoy tours and safaris.
