Itinerary

Early pickup in Nairobi and a drive through the Great Rift Valley. Check in at your tented camp for lunch, then an afternoon game drive.

A full day of game drives with a picnic lunch, following the wildlife. In migration season you spend time along the Mara River watching for crossings.

A short sunrise game drive, breakfast at camp, then the drive back to Nairobi, arriving late afternoon.

Location
FAQs

Pickup is from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport early on Day 1. The drive to the Mara takes five to six hours, with a stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. You are back in Nairobi by late afternoon on Day 3.

The herds are usually in the Mara from about July to October, and river crossings happen on the herds' timing, not ours. Outside those months the Mara still has resident lion, elephant, buffalo and plains game year-round.

No. Maasai Mara reserve fees are charged per person per day and change with the season, so they are shown separately before you pay.

Yes. Children of all ages are welcome on a private departure; on shared departures we recommend ages six and over because of the long game drives.
