3-Day Mara Road Safari
- Day 1 – Nairobi to Maasai Mara (Road Transfer & Evening Game Drive)
Your safari begins with a morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or airport. Travel in a 4x4 safari vehicle through the scenic Great Rift Valley, with a stopover for photos and refreshments. Arrive in the Maasai Mara in time for lunch at your mid-range lodge or camp. In the late afternoon, head out for your first thrilling game drive, where elephants, lions, zebras, and giraffes roam the golden plains. Return to camp for dinner and an overnight stay under the African night sky. - Day 2 – Full Day Safari in Maasai Mara (Sunrise to Sunset Game Drives)
Wake up to the sounds of the wild and set out for an early morning game drive as the sun rises over the Mara. This is the best time to spot predators on the hunt. After breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive with picnic lunch in the reserve, covering different areas of the park. Search for the Big Five and, if traveling between July and October, witness the awe-inspiring wildebeest migration across the Mara River. In the evening, return to camp for relaxation, dinner, and storytelling around the fire. - Day 3 – Morning Drive & Return to Nairobi
After breakfast, enjoy a final early morning game drive to soak in the last sightings of the Maasai Mara’s wildlife. Check out of your lodge and depart for Nairobi with a stop along the way for lunch. Arrive in the city by late afternoon, where your safari concludes with drop-off at your hotel or the airport.
