Experience the ultimate African adventure with this 5-day safari to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Starting in Nairobi, you'll travel by road through the scenic Great Rift Valley to your safari base at your camp/lodge. Over the next four days, immerse yourself in thrilling game drives, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable wildlife encounters — including opportunities to see the Big Five and witness the Great Migration (seasonal).
Your safari includes morning and evening game drives, picnic lunches in the bush, and a special sundowner experience. You'll also have the option to enhance your trip with a hot air balloonsafari, a visit to a Maasai village, or simply unwind at the lodge. Each evening, return to the comfort of your camp to relax and reflect on the day’s sightings.
The safari ends with a final game drive and a scenic return journey to Nairobi, leaving you with a heart full of memories and a camera full of stunning shots.
You will be met by your guide upon arrival in Nairobi. After a short safari briefing, depart for the Maasai Mara in a 4WD safari van. The journey takes approximately 5–6 hours, traveling through the dramatic landscapes of the Great Rift Valley. Enjoy a brief stop at the viewpoint for photography before continuing through Narok town and onwards to the reserve. Arrive at your camp/lodge in time for lunch and check-in. In the afternoon, head out for your first game drive in the reserve, where you might spot elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and other iconic wildlife. Return to the camp for dinner and overnight.
