Full day Maasai Mara Experience

The day begins with an early breakfast and a pickup from your lodge or camp before the sun rises. This early start is perfect for spotting predators like lions and leopards, who are still active after the night’s hunt. You’ll head out into the Maasai Mara National Reserve for a thrilling game drive. The Mara’s vast savannah is home to the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant, and rhino), plus cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and a variety of birds. The early hours are prime for spotting predators hunting and iconic herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles, especially during the Great Migration (July to October).

Around midday, you’ll stop for a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the park. Enjoy a freshly prepared meal with breathtaking views of the Mara. After lunch, take a short drive to a nearby Maasai village, where you’ll immerse yourself in the vibrant Maasai culture.

Return to Nairobi

After your adventurous expedition in the Maasai Mara, it's time to return to the city, but not before soaking in one final game drive across the park as you make your way out. This last drive offers a serene opportunity to reflect on the safari, capturing any last glimpses of wildlife before exiting the park. The landscapes are equally captivating, with the open plains and occasional wildlife sightings creating the perfect end to your safari experience.

As you leave the Maasai Mara, enjoy the scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley, with its expansive views and dramatic landscapes. The valley floor, dotted with lakes and lush greenery, is a striking contrast to the savannah you just left behind. You’ll pass through charming local villages and rolling hills, giving you a true sense of Kenya’s natural beauty and rural life.

We will then drop you at your hotel in Nairobi City, or make arrangment for your airport transfer.
