Itinerary
Our Journey starts with a pick up at an agreed place in Nairobi. Drive to the floor of the Rift Valley with a brief stop over at the view point. Proceed to the Masai Mara Reserve and into the domain of the Maasai, Kenya's cattle- herding nomads determined to preserve their traditions. The Mara is magnificent, home to Kenya's richest concentration of wildlife, and regarded by many travelers as an essential stop on any tour of Africa. When Travelers thinks of Kenya and Africa safari, this is place they imagine - golden grassland plains pocked with acacia, wildebeests, zebras, lions, and jackals bound by together by the cycle of life and death. Three days here will only scratch at the surface of the wonders of the Mara. Arrive for lunch then proceed for your evening game drive at around 3.30pm. Later return to hotel for dinner and overnight.
On this day after a sumptuous breakfast at your lodge, depart for a full day’s adventure with a picnic lunch. Be on the look-out for the big five that Masai Mara is famous for; these include the lion, savannah (African) elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard and the black rhino. Be on the lookout for any of the game that may have eluded you on your previous game drive. You may even be so lucky to witness a leopard or a cheetah sprint and make a kill! After a day of game viewing, return back to the camp for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, check out at 0900Hrs for Nairobi have optional lunch enroute (Own arrangements). Drop off at pick up point.
Had a lovely Safari. Thank you, Carol, for organizing this trip. The driver guide Jackson was very good and it’s like he had instinct on where to get animals.
