DAY 1 Arrival & First Game Drive
You meet your group in the morning at the pick up point which is at the City Market, Nairobi CBD and begin the journey to the Maasai Mara. On arrival, each guest receives a small souvenir to remember the trip. In the afternoon, you head out for your first game drive. Elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and antelope roam freely across the plains as your guide explains their behavior and how to spot signs of wildlife. As the sun begins to set, keep an eye out for lions waking up for their evening patrols, creating perfect moments for photography.
You return to camp for dinner and overnight. After dinner, gather around the fire for a relaxed talk with your guide, sharing highlights from the day and learning about Maasai culture and life in the Mara.

After an early breakfast, you set out for a full-day safari across different parts of the reserve. The route takes you past rivers where hippos and crocodiles rest, across open plains where lions and cheetahs hunt, and into forested areas where leopards are sometimes spotted. During wildebeest season, you may follow the migration trails and witness this incredible natural spectacle.
Midday, you stop for a picnic at a scenic spot in the Mara while your guide explains how to read animal tracks, understand predator behavior, and appreciate the delicate balance of the ecosystem. In the late afternoon, you return to camp to rest. In the evening, enjoy a Maasai cultural experience with traditional dances, songs, and storytelling, where you can join in the dances or ask questions about Maasai life.
Overnight is spent at camp.
DAY 3 Morning Walk & Return to Nairobi
After breakfast, you take a short guided walk near the camp with a Maasai guide, learning about local plants and how to recognize signs of wildlife in the area. Following the walk, you begin the journey back to Nairobi, stopping at the Rift Valley viewpoint to capture one last breathtaking view of Kenya’s landscapes.
