Nairobi to Masai Mara National Park
Maasai Mara National Reserve - 7:30 am. Your driver/guide will pick you up at your hotel or the location of your choice. Hop into your private 4 x 4 Safari Jeep and we’ll head for the park, passing the Great Rift Valley escarpment. Along our route, we’ll enjoy some rest stops and take in the imposing scenery.
We’ll be heading into Masai country and you may spot herdsmen wrapped in their colorful shukas, as we near the reserve.
We should get to the park around lunchtime. You’ll freshen up and have lunch at your safari lodge or tented camp.
Then, we’ll go for the first of many game drives over the next 3 days. Your driver/guide will share his knowledge of this beautiful land and the variety of wildlife you’re sure to encounter.
If you have any special requests, areas, or wildlife you’d like to see, be sure and let him know.
Masai Mara National Park
Maasai Mara National Reserve - Welcome to safari time - we’ll get up early to view the first golden light and the stirrings of the park’s wildlife. Today, we’ll enjoy maximum viewing with unlimited game drives across the vast savannahs.
We’ll be tracking the big cats along with elephants, giraffes, buffalos, and the other 95 mammals found in this world-famous park.
If you’re here during the Great Migration (July - October), you’ll encounter the most fantastic movement of animals on our planet. Thousands of zebra, gazelle, and wildebeest cross into the park over the Mara River on their timeless parade searching for taller grasses to consume.
The river is also home to pods of hippos and waiting crocodiles, eyeing the vast herds crossing into their territory.
If you would like to add a cultural aspect to your Masai Mara safari, tell your driver/guide to arrange a visit with the Maasai in their local village.
Masai Mara National Park - Nairobi
Maasai Mara National Reserve - Let’s start our last safari day with an early game drive. We’ll look for favorite wildlife or any you still want to check off your list.
If you haven’t already spotted cheetah, keep an eye out for them moving stealthily in the bush, along with jackal and hyena.
Breakfast will follow and then one more game drive through the park as we head back to Nairobi.
We’ll stop for lunch on the way to the city, along with other rest stops.
The drive will give you plenty of time to dwell on and talk about your 3 days of Masai Mara adventure.
We will be back in Nairobi in the late afternoon and bring you to your hotel, the airport, or place of your choosing.
Now you’ve got the pictures, memories, and stories to tell. We hope you had fun and a good taste of the safari adventure. It’s been our pleasure to show you the Masai Mara. A big thanks from all of us at Africa Kenya Safaris!
