Why Visit?

Embark on an exhilarating journey to the heart of the wild with this adventure-packed itinerary to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, a jewel in Kenya"s crown of natural wonders. Known for its exceptional population of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson"s gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, it’s a spectacle not to be missed.

Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi - Transfer to Maasai Mara

Fly into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi. From here, adventure seekers can choose to take a small plane for a scenic 45-minute flight to the Mara or embark on a more rugged 5-6 hour drive, which offers stunning views of the Great Rift Valley and glimpses of rural Kenyan life. Settle into your chosen lodge or campsite within the reserve.

Day 2: Game Drives and Maasai Village Visit

Rise early for a dawn game drive, the best time to witness predators in action. After breakfast back at camp, take a guided walk with a Maasai warrior and learn about the local flora and fauna. In the afternoon, visit a nearby Maasai village to experience the Maasai culture, their traditions, and their way of life, which has stood in harmony with nature for centuries.

Day 3: Hot Air Balloon Safari and More Game Drives

For a truly unique perspective, start your day with a hot air balloon ride over the plains at sunrise. Enjoy a champagne breakfast upon landing, typically in a picturesque location as zebras and wildebeests graze nearby. Spend your final afternoon on another game drive; the Mara never disappoints with its diverse wildlife and breathtaking landscapes.

Day 4: Departure

Enjoy one last morning game drive before your journey back to Nairobi. As you depart, carry with you the spirit of the Maasai Mara, a timeless echo of wild and untamed beauty.
