Description
Embark on a safari adventure from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Enjoy a 5-hour game drive, a picnic lunch, and learn about the Maasai people and conservation efforts.
Begin your adventure before dawn, leaving Nairobi’s city lights behind as the first glow of sunrise spills across the Rift Valley. Your expert safari driver-guide, a certified wildlife tracker with deep roots in the Mara community, shares stories of the land as you descend into the sweeping plains.
Stop for a scenic breakfast overlooking escarpments where giraffes and gazelles roam freely. By midmorning, arrive at Sekenani Gate — the threshold to one of Africa’s most breathtaking wildlife sanctuaries. As the golden light fills the savanna, embark on a thrilling 5-hour game drive, scanning for elephants, lions, leopards, buffalo, and rhinos.
Between sightings, your guide weaves tales of the Maasai people, conservation efforts, and the astonishing annual wildebeest migration — one of the “Seven New Wonders of the World.”
Enjoy a picnic lunch beneath an acacia tree, the sounds of the wilderness as your soundtrack. Those who prefer can opt for a hot buffet lunch at Keekorok Lodge (available on request).
After a final game drive through the reserve’s heart, take a leisurely return journey to Nairobi, watching the landscape shift from open plains to the rolling highlands as dusk settles. Arrive back at your hotel around 8 PM, full of stories, photos, and memories that will last a lifetime.
