Though the Diani or Mombasa are great places to enjoy a nice skin tan, there are also a lot of other opportunities to experience other Kenya’s scenic attractions. If you can spare two days to the Masai Mara, it can be a life-changing experience.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa’s most iconic tourist destinations. The reserve offers the perfect experience for wildlife and cultural buffs looking for the raw and unspoiled beauty of Kenya’s diversity.
Embark on your adventure with a scenic road journey from your hotel to the Masai Mara Game Reserve. Witness the breathtaking panorama of fertile plains stretching out as far as the eye can see, teeming with resident wildlife both predator and prey. This, the most visited reserve in Kenya, is not only home to the Big Five – lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros – but also boasts the awe-inspiring spectacle of the annual wildebeest migration. Millions of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle embark on a breathtaking journey across the plains, driven by the relentless pursuit of fresh grazing grounds.
After savoring a delicious lunch, indulge in some rest and relaxation before diving back into the vibrant tapestry of the Mara on an afternoon game drive. As the sun dips towards the horizon, painting the rolling plains in hues of gold and crimson, capture the essence of this magical landscape through your lens. Dinner and a peaceful overnight stay under the star-studded African sky await.
Rise with the dawn at 6:00 am and fuel up for the day’s adventures with a hearty breakfast. Check out your accommodations and embark on an exhilarating early morning game drive. These golden hours offer a unique opportunity to witness the Big Five on the prowl, their movements driven by the instinct to avoid the damp morning grass. Witness the majestic lions and cunning cheetahs in their prime, bathe in the warm glow of the rising sun, and revel in the crisp, refreshing air. Capture the beauty of the Mara awakening and feel the raw magic of the wilderness engulf you.
Following your exhilarating game drive, opt for an immersive experience in a traditional Maasai village. Witness captivating dances performed by both men and young warriors, and gain insight into their fascinating lifestyle and ancient customs. This optional excursion offers a glimpse into a vibrant culture deeply intertwined with the land and its wildlife.
Lunch in Narok refuels you for the journey back to Nairobi. Arrive in the early afternoon and bid farewell to this unforgettable adventure, your heart brimming with African safari memories that will forever linger.
