Day 01 :

Depart Nairobi for Maasai Mara

Your safari adventure begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to the world-famous Maasai Mara, a land where the spirit of the wild runs free. As the city fades behind you, watch Kenya’s landscape transform—rolling hills, open savannah, and vibrant villages offer a living glimpse into the heart of East Africa.

Arrive at your chosen lodge or camp in time for a warm welcome and a delicious lunch, with time to settle in and soak up the expansive views.

In the afternoon, head out on your first thrilling game drive, where the Mara immediately begins to show off. Lions, elephants, giraffes, and herds of wildebeest may greet you as you cross golden plains beneath a wide African sky.

Return before nightfall for dinner and, depending on your lodge, enjoy optional evening entertainment, such as traditional Maasai dance, storytelling, or fireside music—a soulful close to your first day in the wild.

Day 02 :

Full Day Maasai Mara

Rise early for an extraordinary day in the wild. For those seeking a once-in-a-lifetime perspective, begin with an optional sunrise hot air balloon ride, drifting silently above the plains as the golden light reveals the pulse of the savannah below—elephants, giraffes, and possibly even the mighty herds on the move. After landing, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush before rejoining the group.

Today is dedicated to exploring the Great Migration and the wildlife-rich corners of the Mara. With a packed bush lunch carried along, you'll stay out for a full day game drive, maximizing your chances to witness awe-inspiring scenes: wildebeest thundering across the plains, zebras following in rhythm, and predators like lions, cheetahs, and hyenas never far behind.

Every turn of the trail brings something new—towering giraffes nibbling acacia leaves, hippos wallowing in the river, or a leopard lounging in the branches above.

Return to camp at dusk, dusty and exhilarated, for a well-earned dinner and time to reflect on the raw, unscripted beauty you’ve witnessed.

Day 03 :

Return to Nairobi

After breakfast, it's time to say goodbye to the Maasai Mara’s sweeping plains and begin your journey back to Nairobi. As you retrace your steps through the countryside, the rhythm of safari life lingers—its stillness, its wildness, its wonder.

On the way, you’ll have the optional opportunity to visit a traditional Maasai village, where you can engage with local community members, learn about their culture, and deepen your understanding of the people who have lived in harmony with this land for generations.

Stop for lunch en route, with time for any last-minute souvenir shopping or photos of the landscape that now feels so familiar.

By late afternoon or early evening, you’ll arrive in Nairobi, where you’ll be dropped at your hotel or the airport for your onward journey—carrying with you memories of thundering hooves, starlit skies, and the raw, untamed beauty of the Mara.
