Day 01: Nairobi - Masai Mara National Reserve

You'll depart early morning from Nairobi for a scenic drive that includes breathtaking views of Mt. Longonot and the Great Rift Valley escarpment. You’ll drive through the Masai town of Narok, arriving in Masai Mara for lunch. You'll embark on a late-afternoon game drive, as the animals begin to stir from their heat-of-the-day slumber. As the sun sinks lower and the air starts to cool, you'll witness the excitement of the bush in action, before being whisked back to your lodge or tented camp for sundowners, dinner, and a good night’s sleep to the lullaby of wildlife roaming the reserve.

Meal Plan: Lunch and Dinner

Day 02: Full-day at Masai Mara National Reserve

Masai Mara is magical in the early morning. The sun spreads its light across the plains, the air is crisp, and the big cats are returning from a night of hunting. You'll watch zebras frolic together, jackals pouncing in the grass, and a family of lions feeding, before returning to your lodge for breakfast and some downtime by the pool.

An afternoon game drive is a time for reflection and peace as you go in search of more great wildlife experiences, chasing the orange embers of a setting sun, returning to your lodge for a well-deserved drink, dinner and another overnight stay.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Day 03: Masai Mara National Reserve - Nairobi

Bask in the beauty of a true African sunrise from your hotel, followed by a full breakfast at the lodge. You’ll then drive back to Nairobi, arriving into the city in the mid/late afternoon.
