Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara (Scenic Drive & Sunset Game Drive)
Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or airport. Embark on a scenic 5–6 hour drive through the Great Rift Valley, stopping for photos along the way. Arrive at your luxury tented camp or lodge in time for lunch.
In the afternoon, head out on a sunset game drive in the vast Maasai Mara Reserve. Spot elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras, and more roaming freely. Return to camp for a gourmet dinner and an evening bonfire under the stars.
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Maasai Mara
After an early breakfast, set off on a full-day game drive with a packed picnic lunch. Explore deep into the Mara plains, home of the Big Five and over 400 bird species. Visit the Mara River, famous for the Great Migration crossings (July–Oct).
Optionally, stop at a Maasai Village for cultural immersion — meet warriors, learn traditions, and see beadwork art. Capture wildlife with sweeping savannah backdrops — one of Africa’s most iconic scenes. Return to your lodge for dinner and an evening of relaxation.
Day 3: Olkaria Hot Springs & Return to Nairobi
Enjoy an early breakfast and check-out. Depart Maasai Mara and drive toward Lake Naivasha. Stop at Olkaria Geothermal Spa — Africa’s only natural hot spa inside a national park. Enjoy a rejuvenating dip in warm therapeutic waters before lunch.
Float beneath Naivasha’s hills — a perfect ending to your luxury safari. Drive back to Nairobi, arriving around 5:00 PM.
