3 Days Masai Mara Luxury Safari
Features
Overview
The Masai Mara National Reserve is a vast, iconic savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, widely considered one of Africa's greatest and most spectacular wildlife destinations. It forms the northernmost extension of the famed Serengeti ecosystem. The Mara is synonymous with the annual Great Migration, a breathtaking natural phenomenon where over 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle undertake a perilous journey from the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing, culminating in dramatic river crossings at the crocodile-infested Mara River.
Beyond the migration, the Mara is a year-round haven for an astonishing density of wildlife, including the renowned Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), as well as cheetahs, hyenas and giraffes. The landscape of rolling golden grasslands, dotted with acacia trees and bisected by rivers, provides the quintessential African safari experience.
The reserve is also defined by its deep cultural heritage, being the ancestral home of the semi-nomadic Maasai people. Their rich traditions, vibrant dress and harmonious coexistence with the wildlife add a profound cultural dimension to a visit. Offering everything from classic game drives and hot air balloon safaris to cultural visits with local communities, the Masai Mara provides an unparalleled and immersive journey into the heart of wild Africa.
Day 01: Pick up at the airport hotel and drive to Masai Mara Reserve
You will be picked at the airport or your hotel of stay in Nairobi and commence drive to Maasai Mara. Have a stopover at the great Rift Valley view point where you will have a breathtaking view of the floor of the Rift Valley. Arrive for check in and hot lunch at Mara serena lodge. After lunch, embark on afternoon game drive in the reserve in search of the big 5. Thereafter, return to the camp at dusk for dinner and overnight stay at Mara serena lodge.
Day 02: Full day will be spent exploring Maasai Mara Reserve
After early breakfast, depart for Masai Mara reserve for a full day game drive. Spend the whole day looking for the big five and we are hopeful you will see almost all if not all of the big five among many animals. This is the day you also visit the Mara River from where we hope you will have a chance to witness the great wildebeest migration as it happens. Thereafter, you will return to the camp for dinner and overnight stay at Mara serena lodge.
