Detailed Itinerary

Day 1 Wilson Airport Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
  • Pick up will be at Jomo Kenyatta Airport by our representatives, where you will receive a brief overview of what to expect during your safari.
  • Later, transfer to Wilson Airport for your short flight into the heart of Masai Mara National Reserve.
  • Your safari guide will meet you at the airstrip and transfer you to the camp to relax and have lunch.
  • The reserve covers 700 square miles of magnificent wilderness, representing the Africa of the imagination with endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands and hazy hills.
  • Enjoy an afternoon game drive to see the sundowner while tracking the Big 5, including lions in large prides, elephants, buffalo, zebras, and numerous plains game.
  • Dinner and overnight stay at your selected camp.
  • Full day spent exploring the park in search of the Big Five and other predators.
  • Optional hot air balloon safari can be arranged at an extra cost of US$ 450 per person.
  • Dinner and overnight at your selected camp.
  • The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here.
  • You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, leopards, many kinds of antelopes, and elephants.
  • It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place: the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture.
  • Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna: lions, cheetahs, wild dogs, jackals, hyenas, and vultures.
  • We have a very flexible itinerary, and game drives are tailored to your interests with our experienced professional safari guide.
  • Early morning game drives with a picnic breakfast increase your chances of witnessing the sunrise and observing animals while they are still active.
  • The morning serenity is indescribable; you simply have to experience it.
  • Explore the spotted savannah with its diverse landscapes to capture beautiful animals with your camera.
  • The Mara River, where river crossings occur in July, August, and September, is the main water body winding through this paradise.
  • Hippopotamuses and Nile crocodiles call this river home, making it the best place in the reserve to catch a glimpse of them as they bask on the riverbanks.
  • Other rivers include the Talek River and smaller tributaries like the Sekenani River.
  • The Sand River is another picturesque area in the Masai Mara, located right at the border with the endless plains of the Serengeti.
  • Our safari guide will explain more about nature as it unfolds right in front of you, helping you find the best angles for that perfect shot!
  • After a fulfilling adventurous day, you will retire to your strategically located safari camp or lodge for a sumptuous dinner and overnight stay.
  • You will be transferred to the airstrip to board your flight back to Nairobi, departing between 11:15AM to  12:15 PM or at 3:30 PM, arriving in Nairobi at 4:30 PM.
  • Upon arrival at Wilson Airport, you will be met by our driver who will transfer you either to a hotel or to the airport for check-in for your homebound flight.

Very genuine with suggestions and doesn't do things as a job or formality. 3. James is very knowledgeable. 4. The enthusiasm and passion shown by James was just so infectious. 5. The planning of itinerary takes care of all the finer details. 6. They really take care of your focus and they don't try to sell anything you are not interested in. For example we skipped the village visit because we didn't see value in it. 7. Quite flexible and adjusts as things progress.

The entire trip was handled with extreme professionalism by both Janet and our g (Read More)uide Bonnie. We got to see the Big5 within 3 days of our itenary and more on the next days. Janet was very thorough with our itenary and helped us throughout and Bonnie knew all the best spots on all of our game drives. We didn't feel rushed throughout our tour, because it is designed very well to accomodate enough rest. 10/10 recommend

From the very beginning, Christine and Judith from Donwel Tours were highly atte (Read More)ntive to what we were looking to get from our first ever trip to Kenya, and Africa, for that matter. We wanted to cover a lot of ground, and were going from one agency to another before we found Donwel as most agents couldn't quite squeeze everything we wanted into our itinerary. Judith and Christine however made it all possible. Good quality stays everywhere, regular communication through the trip to ensure we were ok and were getting what we wanted. Special shoutout to Teeman, our driver who absolutely fantastic, drove safely and ensured our safety and comfort throughout the trip, regularly coordinating with Christine. This is an excellent team and we would highly recommend their services.
Everything was perfect.
