This is your first opportunity to spot some of the reserve’s incredible wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, and elephants. Overnight at your chosen safari lodge or tented camp.
Spend the day exploring the Masai Mara Game Reserve on a full-day game viewing drive. The reserve is home to an incredible concentration of wild animals, including the Big Five. Visit the Mara River, where you may spot hippos and crocodiles, or witness the great migration (seasonal). The migration is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth, with millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles making their way across the reserve in search of greener pastures. Keep an eye out for predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, as they stalk their prey. Overnight at your chosen safari lodge or tented camp.
Enjoy another day of wildlife viewing drives in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. You may choose to have a full-day game drive or break it up into separate sessions, allowing you to relax at your lodge or camp. Consider adding a hot air balloon ride to float over the Masai Mara plains (extra cost). This is a unique and breathtaking way to see the reserve and its wildlife from a new perspective. Alternatively, visit a local Masai community to learn about their traditional way of life and culture. Overnight at your chosen safari lodge or tented camp.
After a leisurely breakfast, depart the Masai Mara Game Reserve and drive back to Nairobi. Stop at the Longonot extinct volcano, a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha. Take in the stunning views of the surrounding landscape and learn about the volcano’s history and geology. You may also opt to visit Kiambethu farm for a tea farm tour and lunch (extra cost) or drive straight to Nairobi and transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your departure.
