Day 04: Full Day – Masai Mara
Meal plan: B/L/D.
Why is the Masai Mara so special? Lots of reasons – the beauty of the landscape with its golds and greens, the great density and variety of wildlife said to be the highest in the region, but also because it’s home to the Great Migration.
During the months of July through October, vast herds of gazelle, wildebeest and zebra invade the park over the Mara River searching for sustenance. The numbers of wildlife pouring in over a migrating season can be astonishing – up to 2 million! We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch down at the Mara River, viewing hippo and crocodile, while in the hills, various predators lie in wait, acting out the timeless cycles of life.
Along with game drives and animal sightings, we offer other optional activities to make your experience here even richer. Meet the local Maasai people at their village and learn about their culture and their crafts. Perhaps purchase some of their brightly beaded souvenirs.
For a view that few on the planet have experienced, take an early morning hot air balloon safari over the park. You’ll see the dawn breaking on the savannah and hear the first calls of birds and wildlife as the park comes to life. Not to be missed! Just ask your driver/guide to make the arrangements.Our final safari night will be spent at your Mara accommodation.

Meal Plan: B.
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’ll drop you off at your Nairobi hotel, residence or the airport.
We’ve been glad having you as our guest these past 5 days – days filled with exploration and appreciation for the wonders and excitement of the natural world. We thank you for the trust you have placed in us and hope you’ll stay in touch… as friends do.
