Nairobi National Park Safari
Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or airport, followed by a thrilling game drive in Nairobi National Park. This unique park hosts diverse wildlife such as lions, buffaloes, rhinos, and ostriches, all set against a backdrop of city skyscrapers. After the game drive, visit the Giraffe Centre to interact with endangered Rothschild giraffes, and optionally stop by the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage. Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant and spend the evening at leisure in your Nairobi hotel, preparing for the journey to the Maasai Mara.
Drive to Maasai Mara
After an early breakfast, depart Nairobi for the scenic drive to Maasai Mara National Reserve via the Great Rift Valley. Arrive in time for lunch at your lodge or tented camp. In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive across the vast Mara plains. Spot herds of elephants, prides of lions, elusive leopards, and cheetahs in action. As the sun sets, return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Morning Game Drive - Nairobi
Rise early for a final sunrise game drive, when wildlife is most active and the golden light offers perfect photography conditions. With luck, you may witness a predator on the hunt or a fresh lion kill. After breakfast, check out and begin your journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel or the airport, marking the end of your unforgettable Kenyan safari adventure.
