Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara
Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) or your Nairobi hotel by your professional driver-guide. You’ll embark on a scenic road journey through the Kenyan countryside, including a photo stop at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint for sweeping vistas. Upon arrival at Sarova Mara Game Camp, you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and check in just in time for a delicious lunch. After some relaxation, head out on your first afternoon game drive across the open plains of the Mara. Watch for herds of elephants, graceful gazelles, prowling lions, and many other iconic species as the sun sets. Return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay.
Day 2: Full Day in Masai Mara
Begin your day with a thrilling early morning game driveโthe best time to spot predators in action and wildlife at its most active. After breakfast, you can either relax at the camp, take a guided nature walk (optional), or embark on a full-day game drive with packed lunch boxes to explore deeper into the Masai Mara. Visit the Mara River, where hippos and crocodiles thrive, especially during the wildebeest migration. Optional activities today include a pre-booked hot air balloon safari followed by a champagne breakfast or a cultural visit to a traditional Maasai village. As the day ends, return to camp for a hot shower and enjoy dinner under the stars.
