Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve
Your adventure to the Masai Mara will begin in Nairobi. Our representatives will meet you for a short briefing and immediately after begin your journey at around 6.30am. You will drive to Masai Mara through the Great Rift Valley. You will have a brief stop-over at the view point to be explained on how the Rift Valley was formed and thereafter, proceed with your journey. Masai Mara is considered to be the jewel and highlight of any Kenyan safari. You’ll be enchanted by the diversity of animals, and topography. In late spring, the grazers mainly wildebeest, cross the river bordering Tanzania with Kenya and travel north to the Maasai Mara for the green grasses. Of course, the predators follow. Here there are sightings of lion, cheetah, elephant, giraffe, hyena, warthog, wildebeest, and zebra, just to name but a few. On arrival at the lodge you will check-in and have lunch. Afternoon games drive through the park in search and return for dinner and overnight at the lodge.
Dinner and Overnight at Masai Mara Manyatta Camp. This camp is designed in a way that it captures both the aspect of the traditional Masai Manyattas and the modern hotels, making it ideal for an authentic experience.
Day 2: Masai Mara National Reserve/ Masai Village visit
You will have full morning game drive, this being the best time to see animals as they roam the plains feeding before the heat of the day sends them to the shades, return to the lodge for a late buffet breakfast. The rest of the morning will be spent at leisure with lunch at the lodge. On this day you will have Masai Dance and Cultural Show. The Mara is the ancestral home of the ancient warrior people – the Maasai. Fiercely proud and self- reliant, traditionally pastoral nomads, who have clung to their ancient way of life; living in harmony with their environment and the wildlife, together with their cattle, with whom they share a strong, almost mystical bond. Their houses are called Manyatas. This will be an interesting opportunity for you to learn their lifestyles.
