The most striking feature is the sudden and expansive view that unfolds before you. The ground seems to drop away, revealing a vast, verdant valley floor stretching as far as the eye can see. This is the Great Rift Valley, a gigantic geological fault line that runs for thousands of miles.

Set off from Nairobi bright and early, leaving the city behind for the untamed beauty of the Maasai Mara. After a comfortable drive, settle into your luxurious lodge or camp and enjoy a midday lunch. The real adventure begins this afternoon with your very first game drive! Search for the legendary Big Five and a menagerie of other African wildlife in their natural habitat. Conclude your day with a memorable dinner and a tranquil night's rest under the stars.
