Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

You will be picked up from your city hotel or the Airport in Nairobi and depart early morning to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and attendant predators.

You'll arrive in time for lunch at your hotel, lodge, or tented camp, then have an afternoon game drive.

Note- Your vehicle can be upgraded to a Landcruiser 4x4 jeep at an additional cost.

Main Destination:
Masai Mara National Reserve
Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and August to October (For wildebeest migration)

You will spend a full day exploring the rich tree-studded grassland and rolling hills of the famous savannah on a wildlife-viewing tour.

You will have a picnic lunch under a flat-top acacia tree in the savannah while watching the animals grazing. After that, you will continue with the wildlife viewing en route to your camp, arriving late in the afternoon after thoroughly exploring this massive grassland savannah that measures 1,500 sq.

You can also book a balloon ride early in the morning, which is an optional activity. After landing, the crew will assist you out of the basket and escort you to a lovely setting for a bush breakfast which is complimentary, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Later, you can join your driver guide and proceed with a full-day game drive.
