Day 1

Fly from Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Our representative will pick you up from the airport, hotel, or your residence and transfer you to Wilson Airport for your local flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. The flight takes an average of 1 hour, and upon arrival in Masai Mara National Reserve, our driver guide will be waiting. You'll enjoy an en route game drive and beautiful scenery as you travel to the camp. Masai Mara National Reserve is famous for its high concentration of big cats and annual migration of thousands of wildebeest. You'll arrive at your camp in time for lunch and check in. In the afternoon, you'll enjoy a fascinating wildlife-viewing drive, spotting lions, cheetahs, and other spectacular predators. Big cats are not hard to spot, and the elusive leopards are not. It is one of the few places you are guaranteed to spot the famous Big Five on a single morning or afternoon. In the evening, you'll enjoy a delicious dinner at the camp.
