Depart Nairobi after breakfast and travel to the Maasai Mara. Arrive around midday, check in and have lunch before an afternoon game drive. Continue until sunset before returning to camp for dinner.
Set out early for a full day of wildlife viewing. Explore the reserve’s open grasslands, riverine areas and seasonal wildlife concentrations. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the reserve or return to camp for lunch, then continue the afternoon drive.
Enjoy another morning game drive focusing on resident big cats, elephants, giraffes and plains game. After lunch, continue with an afternoon drive or optional Maasai cultural visit, depending on the agreed itinerary.
Take a final early morning game drive, return for breakfast and check out. Transfer to Nairobi or your onward connection.
The Maasai Mara is one of Kenya's most celebrated wildlife destinations, with open grasslands, abundant wildlife and opportunities for private game drives and carefully paced safari days.
Expect opportunities to encounter lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, cheetahs and large herbivore herds. The wider Mara ecosystem also offers dramatic landscapes, birdlife and seasonal wildlife movement.
The Mara works throughout the year. Seasonal conditions change the landscape and wildlife patterns, so the best dates depend on whether you prioritise migration season, quieter travel, photography or value.
Three nights is a strong starting point for a private safari. Four or more nights gives a slower rhythm and more flexibility for longer game drives, photography and exploring different areas of the ecosystem.
