Itinerary
Arrive in Nairobi and transfer to your chosen accommodation in the city.
Take a morning flight or drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara. Enjoy an afternoon game drive upon arrival and check in at your chosen lodge or camp.
Spend two full days on game drives in the Masai Mara. Witness the Great Migration (seasonal) or explore the resident wildlife. Visit the Mara River and other key spots. You also have the option to take a hot air balloon safari for a unique perspective.
Take a morning game drive followed by an afternoon visit to a Maasai village to experience their culture. Learn about traditional dances, crafts, and daily life.
Take an early morning hot air balloon safari (optional but highly recommended), and then enjoy leisure time to relax or explore the surroundings. In the afternoon, go for a game drive.
Consider taking a morning game drive (optional), then check out from the lodge or camp and take a flight or drive back to Nairobi for your departure or extend your stay as needed.
