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.
