Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve
Your Kenya tours and safari begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or the airport. After a safari briefing, drive through the scenic Great Rift Valley, pausing at a viewpoint to capture breathtaking panoramas. Continue your journey across the savannah to the world-renowned Maasai Mara, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive.
The Maasai Mara is one of Africa’s richest wildlife reserves, home to lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos — the iconic Big Five. Between July and October, it becomes the stage for the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeests and zebras thunder across the plains. Dinner and overnight at the luxurious Zebra Plains Mara Camp.

Visit the Mara River, famous for dramatic wildebeest crossings during the migration season. Even outside migration, the reserve offers year-round game viewing, with prides of lions, herds of elephants, and swift cheetahs hunting across the savannah. As the day winds down, return to Zebra Plains Mara Camp for dinner and overnight stay under the starlit sky.
