Tour Overview
The Maasai Mara is one of the world's premier wildlife destinations, and this 3-day package is the ideal way to experience its magic without a long commitment. Despite the short duration, guests consistently return with extraordinary sightings — lion kills at dawn, cheetah cubs learning to hunt, and immense elephant herds crossing the golden plains.
You will stay at a hand-picked camp or lodge positioned in the heart of the reserve, ensuring game drives begin the moment you step outside. Morning drives catch predators returning from overnight hunts; evening drives reveal a completely different cast of characters as nocturnal wildlife stirs.
The journey from Nairobi takes approximately five hours by road through the scenic Rift Valley. Fly-in options are also available from Wilson Airport for guests short on travel time.

Day 2: Game Viewing drive at Masai Mara National Reserve
After your breakfast, you will depart for the whole day game drive in the vast Masai Mara National Game Reserve with picnic lunch being served in the wild. The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs, hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion, cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vulture.
