ITINERARY

DAY 1: Nairobi โ€“ Masai Mara

Depart in the morning from Nairobi and travel towards the famous Masai Mara National Reserve.

During July, August and September, you may witness the spectacular migration from the Serengeti into the Masai Mara. In December and January, the migration takes place in the opposite direction. These are therefore among the best months to experience the wildlife spectacle.

You may see hundreds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles and antelopes searching for food and crossing rivers, while crocodiles and big cats hunt and hyenas and vultures wait for the remains left behind. It is an unforgettable natural spectacle.

Continue to Narok, a welcoming provincial town and the main gateway to the Masai Mara, where you will stop for lunch.

After lunch, continue to the Masai Mara and enjoy your first game drive until sunset.

Return to your lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight accommodation.

DAY 2: Full-Day Masai Mara Safari

Depart at 6:30 AM after breakfast for a full day of game viewing in the Masai Mara.

Enjoy an extensive game drive through the reserve, with a stop for a packed lunch in the middle of the savannah.
