Nairobi to Masai Mara (Flight & Afternoon Game Drive)

Begin your adventure with a morning transfer to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to Masai Mara.

After some relaxation, embark on your first thrilling afternoon game drive. The Mara is home to the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinos—as well as cheetahs, giraffes, and countless antelope species. Your guide will take you through the open plains, tracking wildlife and stopping for sundowners at a scenic spot. As the sun sets, return to your camp/lodge for a gourmet dinner under the African sky before retiring for the night, surrounded by the distant calls of the wild.

Full-Day Game Drive in Masai Mara

Rise early for a sunrise game drive, when predators are most active, hunting before the heat of the day sets in. Witness the golden savannah come to life with grazing herds and prowling big cats. If you’re visiting between July and October, you may witness the Great Migration, where thousands of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, braving crocodile-infested waters.

Return to camp for a hearty breakfast, then spend the late morning at leisure—relaxing in your luxury tent, taking a nature walk with a Maasai guide, or indulging in spa treatments. After lunch, set out for another game drive, tracking elusive leopards, observing hippos and crocodiles in the river, and marveling at the vast, untouched wilderness. End the day with a sundowner before heading back for dinner and an optional Maasai cultural experience around a bonfire.
