Day 1: Transfer From Nairobi – Masai Mara

Your driver/guide will pick you up from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transfer you to the Masai Mara National Reserve while you journey through the stunning Great Rift Valley, enjoying scenic views as we make our way to the Masai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by the expanse of Kenya’s most famous wildlife park, home to the legendary Big Five and the Great Migration (July–October).

In the afternoon, we will embark on a game drive, where you’ll have the chance to witness lions, leopards, elephants, and more. We'll then settle in for the evening at your safari tented camp inside the reserve.

We’ll visit the Mara River to spot hippos and crocodiles, and there’s also an option to visit a local Masai village to learn about the tribe's culture or take an early morning hot air balloon safari for a stunning aerial view of the park as the sun rises.
