Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Your journey begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or the airport in Nairobi. Depart the bustling city and drive through the scenic Great Rift Valley, stopping briefly at a viewpoint to admire the vast, dramatic landscape below. Continue toward the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, arriving in time for lunch at your camp or lodge. After a short rest, venture out on your first afternoon game drive across the expansive plains, where wildlife is plentiful. Expect to see giraffes nibbling on acacia trees, elephants moving in family herds, and perhaps even lions lazing in the shade or surveying the grasslands. As the sun sets, return to your accommodation for dinner and your first night in the wild.

Day 2
Morning and Afternoon Game Drives in Masai Mara
Morning and Afternoon Game Drives in Masai Mara
Rise early for a hot beverage before setting out on a sunrise game drive, when the animals are most active. The cool morning air brings the savannah to life — predators returning from a night hunt, grazers feeding in the golden light, and the soft sounds of bird calls filling the air. After a few hours in the reserve, return to camp for a hearty breakfast and some leisure time to relax or enjoy the camp’s amenities. After lunch and a siesta, head back into the reserve for your second game drive of the day. This afternoon excursion offers a new chance to witness the drama of nature unfold — whether it’s a cheetah sprinting across the plain, elephants at a waterhole, or a hippo pod stirring as the day cools. Return to camp for dinner and another night under the African sky.

You’ll arrive at Lake Nakuru in time for lunch at your lodge or camp, followed by an afternoon game drive in the park. Nestled around a soda lake, this compact park is a sanctuary for endangered species such as white and black rhinos, Rothschild giraffes, and over 400 species of birds, including flamingos, pelicans, and storks. The park's acacia forest and rocky escarpments also make it a great place to spot elusive leopards. After the game drive, settle in for dinner and overnight.

Accompanied by a guide, explore the dramatic landscapes of Fischer’s Tower, Central Tower, and the scenic gorge made famous by films such as The Lion King. Later, you may choose to enjoy an optional boat ride on Lake Naivasha (at extra cost), where hippos wallow and fish eagles soar. Spend the evening relaxing at your lodge in Naivasha.
