DAY 01: NAIROBI – MASAI MARA (Appx: 265kms- 5 hrs)
Meal plan: Lunch, Dinner.
07:30 hrs. We will pick you up from your Nairobi Hotel, residence or the Nairobi airport. In your private 4 x 4 Jeep, we’ll journey out to the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The land will get increasingly dramatic as we enter the Great Rift Valley escarpment. We’ll make stops along the way to refresh and view the impressive features of the escarpment. Then we’ll head down to the valley floor, exploring the scenic features through Masai country, perhaps getting glimpses of the colorful herdsman along the way as we approach the reserve. We should arrive at the Masai Mara at about lunchtime, which we’ll enjoy at our chosen accommodation.
Then, get ready for the awesome expanse and stirring wildlife populations of the great reserve. This is one of the world’s great eco-systems and unparalleled for its diversity of wildlife. Hunters and grazers, both large and small fill the sweeping hills and savannahs of the beautiful park. Your first game drive will be an introduction to the numbers and variety of wildlife you’ll experience during your three days in the park. You’ll spend the first of two nights in the park at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp.
Rediscover the calm and beauty of the natural world.
Book your adventure today and create memories that last a lifetime!
DAY 02: FULL DAY – MASAI MARA
Meal plan: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
We’ll be up early to view the park’s abundant wildlife, said to the densest of any park in the region. This will be a day of unlimited game drives over the golden fields and past the distinctive acacia trees adorning these plains. Be on the lookout for Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The birdlife is also abundant, and if it is in the months of July – October during the season of the Great Migration, prepare yourself to witness the largest movement of animals on the planet.
Primarily made up of wildebeest and zebra, the migrating animals cross into the park by the thousands at the Mara River, also the site of hippos and waiting crocodiles. The potential drama here is inescapable as the streaming herds enter these lands for fresh grasses as the predators lie in wait.
Adding more richness to your Masai Mara experience, you can enjoy an optional visit to one of the local villages. There, you’ll meet the Maasai and see their lifestyle up close. Another optional event is an early morning hot air balloon ride over the reserve. Take in the park below coming to life as the fields light up and the wildlife begin a new day on the savannah. A magnificent experience – just ask your driver/guide to set up either or both activities. We’ll spend our second night in the park at your choice of accommodation.
DAY 03: MASAI MARA – NAIROBI (265 kms – 5 hrs)
Meal plan.Breakfast.
After a leisurely breakfast at your lodge/camp, your dedicated driver guide will assist you with the checkout process and proceed to Nairobi – Kenya’s colorful capital city.
On the way, your guide will point out the Longonot extinct volcano which is a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s and its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong’ot, meaning “mountains of many spurs” or “steep ridges “.
We should arrive back in Nairobi in the late afternoon and will bring you to your hotel, residence or the airport. You may also continue to the Kenya coast at Mombasa or perhaps to the island of Zanzibar. We hope you soaked up plenty of Africa’s wildlife sightings on this busy tour. It’s been our pleasure to have you as our guest and from all of us at s, a big thanks!

Our 3 Day Maasai Mara Flight Safari includes return flights from Nairobi to the Mara, airport transfers, park entry fees, game drives with professional guides, luxury or mid-range accommodation, and all meals while on safari. Everything is designed to give you a seamless and stress-free safari experience.
The flight takes just about 1 hour from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Maasai Mara airstrip. Instead of spending 5–6 hours on the road, you’ll be landing in the heart of the savannah, ready to begin your adventure almost immediately.
You’ll have the chance to see the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—alongside cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and countless bird species. If you visit between July and October, you could also witness the breathtaking Great Wildebeest Migration.
Depending on your preference and budget, you can stay in luxury lodges, mid-range tented camps, or boutique eco-camps. All options offer comfort, safety, and stunning locations close to the action, giving you the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
