Day 1

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Upon your arrival at the airport, you will be greeted by our representative, who will brief you. After that, you will board your safari vehicle and drive towards the Great Rift Valley, briefly stopping at the viewpoint for excellent photo opportunities. The Great Rift Valley is a geological phenomenon that runs the length of Kenya, effectively separating the eastern and western regions of the country. Today, the Rift Valley features a mix of arid deserts, fertile farmland, flat plains, steep escarpments, and seven lakes.

You will descend into the Rift Valley and drive across it, arriving in time for lunch at Mara Sopa Lodge. In the afternoon, enjoy an exciting game drive starting at 4:00pm, where you can spot lions, cheetahs and other magnificent predators—this is the highlight of your day. In the evening, savor a delicious dinner before settling in for the night at the lodge.

Day 2

Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara National Reserve

After breakfast, proceed for a game-viewing drive in the Masai Mara at 6:30am and 4:00pm, leaving the mid-morning and early afternoon for leisure time at your camp. The Masai Mara offers breathtaking views reminiscent of the film Out of Africa, which was primarily filmed here. It boasts an extraordinary density of wildlife, including the Big Five and various plains game species.

One of the region's most impressive features is the annual migration of wildebeests, who cross the Tanzanian border and rivers to reach the Mara's grasslands. Predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas closely follow this dramatic journey, and vultures circle above. Beyond the seasonal migration, game viewing remains excellent throughout the year.

Enjoy a delicious dinner at the camp in the evening and unwind at your leisure. Overnight accommodations are arranged at Mara Sopa Lodge.

Breakfast will be served starting at 6:30am. We will depart by 7:30am and drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the early afternoon at the Carnivore Restaurant, where a farewell lunch will be provided. The Carnivore is often referred to as Africa's greatest eating experience. It has been voted twice among the world's 50 best restaurants by the UK—based Restaurant Magazine. This remarkable open-air meat specialty restaurant offers a dining experience unlike any other in Kenya!

At the Carnivore, whole joints of meat—such as legs of lamb, pork haunches, rumps of beef, sirloins, racks of lamb, spare ribs, sausages, chicken wings, skewered kidneys, and even crocodile—are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a large, visually spectacular charcoal pit that dominates the entrance of the restaurant.
