This guided road safari is the simplest way to see the Maasai Mara, Kenya's most celebrated reserve. You travel from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley and spend two nights in the Mara, with game drives every day.
Why go
The Mara is home to the Big Five and some of the highest numbers of lion, cheetah and leopard in Africa. From July to October the wildebeest and zebra herds of the Great Migration cross the Mara River.
How the trip runs
Day 1: morning departure from Nairobi, a stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, lunch at your lodge and an afternoon game drive.
Day 2: a full day in the reserve with a picnic lunch, tracking big cats and elephant herds. A sunrise balloon flight and a Maasai village visit can be added.
Day 3: an early game drive, breakfast and check-out, then the drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon.
Good to know
Includes a 4×4 Land Cruiser with pop-up roof, an English-speaking driver-guide, park fees, accommodation, all meals and bottled water in the vehicle.
