Your driver/guide will pick you up from your Nairobi hotel or residence. Should you be arriving on an early morning flight, we’ll arrange for your airport pickup. Around 8am with our group all set, we’ll head out to the Masai Mara National Reserve. We’ll be traveling through Masai country, exploring the floor of the Great Rift Valley. We’ll progress to the Mara, taking in local homesteads and perhaps Maasai herdsmen in their colorful wraps, tending to their cattle. We’ll stop during our journey to stretch and admire the scenic drama of the Rift Valley escarpment. Arriving at the Masai Mara in the afternoon, we’ll have plenty of time for our first game drive over the savannah of this beautiful park, with its many iconic acacia trees punctuating the landscape. This rich and diverse eco-system offers the most wildlife of any park in the region so be ready for plenty of animal spotting.
