Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Your safari starts with pick up at 7:30 am from your Nairobi hotel or airport and drive to Masai Mara.
The Masai Mara is Kenya’s most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The climate is gentle. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled. The wildlife is far from being confined within the reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game reserve.

The first sight of this game park is breathtaking. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendor, and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya’s most popular inland destination.

You will be picked up by the Masai warrior from the hotel to the Maasai village. You will return later for dinner and an overnight stay at the camp/lodge.
