Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel or lodge. Enjoy a scenic drive through Kenya’s Great Rift Valley as you head toward the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. Upon arrival, enter the park and embark on a guided game drive in a 4x4 safari vehicle, exploring sweeping savannahs and riverine forests. Your expert guide will help you track the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—as well as cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, hippos, and more. Around midday, stop at a safe picnic site inside the reserve to enjoy a packed lunch surrounded by nature. After lunch, continue your wildlife drive through different areas of the park to increase your chances of seeing predators on the move. Learn about animal behavior, habitats, and the local Maasai culture as your guide brings the landscape to life. As the sun sets, return to your accommodation filled with unforgettable memories from your first day on safari.
