DAY 1. NAIROBI TO MAASAI MARA
We will pick you up in Nairobi around 7am this morning and proceed on the scenic journey towards the Maasai Mara (approx. 5-6hr drive). We will descend down the Great Rift Valley escarpment on route where you have the opportunity to stop for photos at the lookout point. We hope to reach our accommodation of Basecamp Adventure, near Talek in the Maasai Mara, in time for lunch. This afternoon we will head out for our first game drive of the safari. The Maasai Mara is a Big 5 National Game Reserve meaning it is home to all of the Big 5; Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo, although some of them are very hard to spot so what you see all depends on your luck on the day! We will return to camp this evening for dinner and overnight. L,D
DAY 2. MAASAI MARA
Today we will head out into the Maasai Mara National Reserve for a full day game drive with packed lunches which we will enjoy later under a shady tree. We will have time to explore large areas of the reserve today and visit an area frequented by Hippos and Crocodiles before we return to our camp late this afternoon for dinner and overnight. B,L,D
DAY 3. MAASAI MARA TO NAIROBI
This morning we will depart camp after breakfast and game drive our way out of the Masai Mara by 10am, before we go for a Masai guided nature walk. Here you will have the opportunity to learn about the Maasai tribe and culture from your guide, and also learn about the traditional medicinal uses of several trees and plants. Afterwards we will make our way back to Nairobi, we’ll have a lunch stop on route and we should arrive back to Nairobi in the afternoon (approx. 5hr drive). B,L
