Day 1

Nairobi-Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi-Masai Mara National Reserve

You will start with an early morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or Nairobi International Airport. Then, after a briefing by one of our representatives, your journey starts towards the floor of the Great Rift Valley, traveling via the central highlands tea plantations. First, you will have a brief stop at the viewpoint and photo session of the magnificent Great Rift Valley and Mount Longonot. Then, proceed with your journey to your camp in Masai Mara in time for lunch. After lunch, you depart for afternoon game drives until sunset, when you return to your tented camp for dinner and your overnight stay. The reserve is well known for its black-maned lions and abundant wildlife. This is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under vehicles. Several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey!
