Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi → Maasai Mara National Reserve
Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from Nairobi. Enjoy a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley, with photo stops along the way, before descending into the endless plains of the Maasai Mara.
Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch, followed by your first afternoon game drive. This is when the savannah comes alive — lions basking in the sun, giraffes moving gracefully across the plains, and herds of antelope stretching to the horizon.
Overnight: Safari Lodge in Maasai Mara
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Day 2: Full-Day Safari in Maasai Mara
Today is dedicated entirely to wildlife exploration. After an early breakfast, head out for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch, allowing you to reach deeper, less-visited areas of the reserve.
Your guide will track animal movements, increasing your chances of witnessing dramatic predator-prey interactions. Depending on the season, you may spot river crossings, large lion prides, or elusive leopards resting in acacia trees.
Return to the lodge in the evening for dinner and relaxation.
