DAY 1: Nairobi - Lake Nakuru

The park is home to warthogs, waterbuck, buffaloes, reedbucks, and the occasional leopard. White and black rhinos were introduced to the park some years ago and you may find white rhino at the southern end. The park has also retained its reputation as an ornithologists’ delight with more than 400 species of bird found here. Arrive in time for your hot lunch at your hotel. Enjoy your evening game drive at Lake Nakuru National Park.

DAY 2: Lake Nakuru - Lake Naivasha - Masai Mara

Depart after your very early morning breakfast for the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve via Lake Naivasha. Boat rides can be organized by your guide within Lake Naivasha at a minimal cost payable directly. Proceed on to Masai Mara after your boat ride. Proceed for Mara arriving for your hot lunch at your hotel. On clear days, Masai Mara offers fantastic orange tinted sunsets and you will definitely want to capture this moment while sipping on a sundowner back at your lodge. The Mara reserve is 1510 sq km of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers. Wherever you go in the Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos also exist in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the plains for their next meal.

DAY 3: Masai Mara

Your lodge is set high on a bush-cloaked hill with long views over the savannah and down to the winding coils of the hippo-filled Mara River, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa’s most dramatic wildlife arenas, with a ringside seat for the ‘greatest wildlife show on earth’, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

A fantastic 4-day Safari to Kenya's premier game reserve - The Masai Mara National Reserve.
This Masai Mara Safari begins from Nairobi and proceeds via the Great Rift Valley with its spectacular views and onwards to the endless beautiful plains of the Masai Mara Reserve.
The days will be spent in the vast reserve in search of both birdlife and wildlife. Masai Mara’s 1510sk km wilderness is especially well-known for its large cat population and is home to the annual Wildebeest Migration, a wildlife epic like none other on earth.

Day 1: Nairobi - Masai Mara
Departing from the city of Nairobi, we drive westward stopping at the Great Rift Valley escarpment for scenic views and photography before descending to the Rift floor via Narok to the Masai Mara arriving in time for lunch.

This afternoon we explore Masai Mara on our first game drive, getting a taste of what this legendary game reserve has to offer!
Overnight in luxury safari tents overlooking scenic hills, a river and the surrounding wilderness of southern Kenya. At night you may hear the sounds of wildlife drawn to the river or just roaming.

Accommodation: Ilkeliani Luxury Camp
Meal plan: Full Board Basis

Day 2 & 3: Masai Mara Game Reserve

The next two full days are spent game viewing with morning and afternoon game drives in search of Africa's Big Five and other wildlife inhabiting this vast reserve. On clear days, the Masai Mara offers fantastic orange-tinged sunsets, well-worth day ender. The Masai Mara Game Reserve offers 1510km² of incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers, with a mass of amazing wildlife.

The wildlife includes the Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat-eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topi, impala, hartebeest, wildebeest elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos all found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the wild plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common.

The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, which takes place in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

A hot-air balloon trip is a must if you want to see these beasts and the entirety of the reserve from a breath-taking aerial view. The Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged in advance at extra cost.

Accommodation: Ilkeliani Luxury Camp
