01Day 1

Day 1

Fly from Mombasa to Masai Mara

Board your flight at Moi International Airport (Mombasa) for a scenic 2.5-hour flight to the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival, your driver-guide will be waiting to take you to your camp. Enjoy an en-route game drive, with beautiful scenery as you travel to your accommodation. The Masai Mara is famous for its high concentration of big cats and the annual great migration of millions of wildebeest and zebras. After arriving at your camp and checking in, you'll have time for lunch and a short rest before heading out on a fascinating afternoon game drive. This is your chance to spot spectacular predators like lions, cheetahs, and the more elusive leopards. It's one of the few places in Africa where you are guaranteed to spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo) on a single game drive. Conclude your day with a delicious dinner and overnight at your camp or lodge, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

Day 2

Masai Mara

Your full day in the Masai Mara is designed for both adventure and relaxation. Start with an early morning game drive from 6:30 am to 8:30 am to witness the bush awakening. A hearty breakfast awaits you back at camp, followed by a free morning where you can relax or choose to visit a nearby Maasai village. After lunch, take some time for yourself before the afternoon game drive from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm. This is often a great time to spot predators on the hunt. After the game drive, you'll return to the lodge for a delicious dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

Day 3

Flight from Masai Mara to Mombasa

Your final day in the Mara begins with a thrilling early morning game drive. This is a magical time to witness the African bush come alive as predators, like lions and cheetahs, are most active and on the hunt for their morning meal. After a final safari breakfast back at the camp, you will enjoy an en route game-viewing opportunity on the scenic drive to the airstrip. Here, you'll board your flight to Mombasa. Upon arrival at Moi International Airport, transfers to your hotel or lodge can be arranged upon request.
