Detailed Day Wise Itinerary
Day 1: Transfer to Masai Mara, & Evening Game Drive

The next stop is made at Narok town. This is the ideal time to visit the bathroom, stretch your legs, and even do some final shopping. You still have about 3-hrs of the road trip to cover from this town, meaning you will arrive at Mara by noon.
On arrival, the guide will check you into the hotel, leaving you to yourself for some 3-4 hours of well-deserved rest. Masai Mara has something for everyone. After that Evening Game Drives at Masai Mara.
The Mara terrain changes like the wind. The next try to outdo the previous one by doubling its magnificence and wildlife variety. Our knowledgeable, Kenyan-bred Masai Mara Safari Guide will guide you through this expansive terrain.
The goal is to take you to the park’s wildlife hotspots, bettering your chances of wildlife spotting and great photography. Your game drive is, in this case, deliberately slowed to allow you enough time to explore and fall in love with each terrain. Remember to bring your camera with you.
Some of the animals you will likely see on your evening game drive include the big five, giraffes, antelopes, impalas, hyenas, and many big cats, including the lions.
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive at Masai Mara with Packed Lunch
Morning game drives in Masai Mara are a window to her soul and the primary reason it remains Kenya's leading tourist destination. You set out for the game drive at 6:00 AM after breakfast but with your packed lunch.
Morning game drives are quieter, more intimate, and the best shot you have at spotting the elusive Mara cats. You will, on your path, trod on hundreds of grazers nipping on the dewy morning grass. If you look closely, you will likely see a bush-camouflaged prey readying itself for a kill.
You move at the speed of the jungle, careful not to scare away the herds of grazing impalas and wildebeests. Please leave it to our highly trained guide to guide you to the best locations for the best game viewing and photography opportunities. Staying Inside The Mara Triangle
If you stay inside the Mara Triangle you are in for a treat. The triangle is the least visited by tourists and the most crowded by wildlife. To the southwest lies the Serengeti border, to the northwest the Siria Escarpments, and east the Mara River.
On this day, the guide concentrate on the north of the triangle, best known for the Kichwa pride. The pride is a group of 60 adult lions divided among four prides.
The Masai Mara Great Migration involves over a million wildebeests, 200,000 impalas, and nearly 500,000 zebras crossing from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara through the Mara River. What are the odds of crossing a river filled with crocodiles and hippos and making it past the banks dotted with the even more dangerous lions, cheetahs, and leopards? Book this Safari and find out.
