From Nairobi: 3-Day Masai Mara Safari with Accommodation

Embark on a 3-day safari to the Masai Mara National Reserve from Nairobi. Stay in a comfortable lodge or camp and enjoy game drives in search of the Big Five.
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara
Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from Nairobi. As you journey southward, the landscape transforms from bustling cityscape to the serene beauty of the Great Rift Valley. Your arrival at the Masai Mara National Reserve is marked by a warm welcome from your guides, who will provide an overview of the itinerary and safety instructions.

After a quick briefing, you’ll be escorted to your 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep, where you’ll start your first game drive.

By mid-afternoon, you'll return to your lodge or camp for a well-deserved lunch and a brief rest.

As the day cools, you’ll head out for a second game drive. This evening safari provides a different perspective of the Mara, with the setting sun casting a golden hue over the plains. Look out for nocturnal creatures becoming active as twilight descends. Return to your lodge for dinner and recount the day's sightings with fellow travelers before retiring for the night.

Day 2: Full Day Safari Adventure
After an early breakfast, embark on a full day of exploration in the Masai Mara. Your guide will lead you through various ecosystems within the reserve, from the rolling savannahs to the riverbanks, each offering unique opportunities for wildlife encounters.

This day is perfect for seeking out the Mara’s famed predators. Keep your eyes peeled for elusive leopards in the trees and the stealthy cheetahs racing across the grasslands. Your guide will use their expertise to track animals and find the best spots for viewing. A picnic lunch amidst the stunning backdrop of the Mara will be a highlight of your day.

In the afternoon, continue your game drive, perhaps visiting the Mara River, where you might witness the dramatic spectacle of the migration, depending on the season. As you traverse different terrains, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the intricate balance of this unique ecosystem.

Return to your lodge in the late afternoon. After a relaxing break, enjoy a sumptuous dinner prepared with local ingredients, and savor the sounds of the African night.

Day 3: Morning Game Drive and Departure
On your final morning in the Masai Mara, rise early for a sunrise game drive. This early start provides an excellent chance to observe the Mara’s wildlife as they become active with the first light of day. The cool morning air and soft light create a magical atmosphere, perfect for photography and spotting animals.

After breakfast back at the lodge, you’ll have some time to pack and check out. If time allows, you might enjoy a brief visit to a local Maasai village, where you can learn about their traditional way of life and culture.

Your safari concludes with a drive back to Nairobi, where you'll arrive in the early afternoon. Depending on your travel plans, you may have time to explore Nairobi further or head straight to the airport for your onward journey.
