Flight from Nairobi (JKIA) to Masai Mara
Your journey begins with a seamless transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi to the Masai Mara. With daily flights available, you’ll board a light aircraft at Wilson Airport or JKIA, depending on availability and preference. The flight to Mara is a scenic 45-minute journey, offering stunning aerial views of the Great Rift Valley and Kenya’s iconic landscapes, setting the tone for the adventure ahead.
In Masai Mara, you can land on one of the airstrips such as Keekorok Airstrip or Masai Mara. There you will be greeted by the welcoming Olanka Safaris team and transferred to your luxury camp. The personalized service provided by our team ensures that from the moment you land, to the moment you are assigned your room gives you the ultimate comfort.
Staying in a Luxury Camp
For the next four nights, you’ll be staying at one of the Masai Mara's most exclusive luxury camps. These camps blend the best of both worlds: the ruggedness of the African wilderness and the comfort of five-star living. The camps have spacious tents with en-suite bathrooms, hot showers, private decks overlooking the Mara plains, and gourmet dining prepared by world-class chefs.
Luxury accommodations come complete with amenities such as swimming pools, spa treatments, and a relaxing ambiance to unwind after an exhilarating day of game drives.
Masai Mara Game Drives and Safari Experience
The Masai Mara is famous for its incredible wildlife, and Olanka Safaris ensures that you get the best opportunities to witness it all. Over the course of your stay, you will enjoy morning and evening game drives led by experienced Maasai guides who have a vast knowledge of the land and its animals.
The highlight for many visitors is the chance to see the “Big Five”—lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. Additionally, you’ll witness other iconic African animals such as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and gazelles, all set against the stunning backdrop of the Mara's golden plains.
The best time to visit Masai Mara is between July and October for the wildebeest Migration. During this time, millions of wildebeest, accompanied by zebras and gazelles, make their perilous journey across the Mara River, an event that attracts visitors from all corners of the globe.
Maasai Village Visit
No trip to the Masai Mara is complete without experiencing the rich culture of the Maasai people. Olanka Safaris offers an insightful Maasai village tour, where you'll interact with the local Maasai community. Learn about their traditional way of life, from herding cattle to their unique beadwork and warrior culture. You’ll also witness the Masai traditional dances, hear ancient stories, and have the chance to purchase handmade Maasai crafts, supporting the local community.
This cultural immersion offers a deeper understanding of how the Maasai people have coexisted with wildlife for centuries, maintaining a unique balance with nature that is rarely found anywhere else.
Masai Mara Entry Fees
For entry into the Masai Mara National Reserve, there is a daily park fee that helps support conservation efforts and the maintenance of the ecosystem. As part of your Olanka Safaris package, this fee is included in the overall cost, ensuring that you have uninterrupted access to all the incredible wildlife and natural wonders that the Mara has to offer.
For non-residents, the entry fee is typically around $100 per adult per day for normal season and $200 during high season. For Kenyan citizens and residents, the fees are lower at Ksh 1000 for low season and Ksh 3000 for high season. Masai Mara park fee is normally valid for 12hrs from 6 am in the morning to 6pm in the evening. These costs cover not only game drives but also entry into key areas of the park, including access to the Mara River, where much of the migration action takes place.
