Day 1
Nairobi to Masai Mara
Nairobi to Masai Mara
Your driver will pick you up from the hotel or airport for a departure to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve with a stopover at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint and then lunch in Narok. Mara's tawny, wildlife-stuffed savannahs are familiar to anyone who has watched nature documentaries.
Reliable rains and plentiful vegetation underpin this extraordinary ecosystem and the millions of herbivores it supports. Wildebeests, zebras, impalas, elephants, Maasai giraffes, and several gazelle species call the Mara home. This vast concentration of game accounts for high predator numbers, including cheetahs and leopards, and a higher lion density. You will search for the Big Five with game drives across the grassy plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve before returning to the camp for dinner and an overnight stay.
