National Reserve
Your 4-Day Masai Mara Adventure
Nairobi to Masai Mara
our safari begins with a pick-up from your Nairobi hotel, residence, or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. You will be transferred to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara.
Upon arrival at the Mara airstrip, your safari guide will welcome you and transfer you to your lodge or tented camp. Depending on arrival time, you may enjoy a short game drive on the way to camp.
After check-in and lunch, relax before heading out for your first afternoon game drive. This is your first chance to experience the magic of the Mara — open savannahs, big cats, elephants, giraffes, antelopes, and golden sunset views.
Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
Full-Day Game Drives in Masai Mara

You may enjoy a picnic lunch in the reserve or return to camp for lunch depending on your safari plan.
In the evening, return to camp for dinner and relaxation.
