Overview
City life can take its toll on anyone, no matter how hardened your spirit is. A Maasai Mara Kenya safari is an excellent way of putting everything behind you. Enjoy 2 days relaxation as such fancy locations as the Mara Sopa, Mara Serena, Mara Sarova Lodge, or Mara Simba Lodge.
This exciting holiday in Kenya will be packed full of (private!) game drives through the most famous natural reserve of the country. Not only that, but the traditional cuisine, wildlife, and the diversity of cultural activities and entertainment leave you wanting for more.
Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara
To begin your exciting safari in Kenya, we transfer you from Nairobi Airport to Maasai Mara. We will pass through the picturesque Rift Valley on the way there, and stop for a break and a breathtaking view of the landscape. The entire ride should take about 5 to 6 hours, and we should arrive at the Mara before lunch.
This leaves you time to unpack at the Mara Sarova Game Camp (or lodge of your choice). Cool off in the swimming pool – a cold drink at the Ewaso Pool Bar should hit the spot nicely. Prepare to embark on the first game drive of the trip, during the afternoon.
A comfortable king-sized bed will be waiting for you when you return from your ride. Though, feel free to stargaze or enjoy the vibrant nightlife. The Oloip Bar is always ripe with entertainment, including live music sessions from the locals.

Day 2: Full Day at the Mara
Your Maasai Mara Kenya safari continues full-force with an early morning game drive. Of course, since the drives are private you can also choose to change the schedule. This is useful if you brought the kids along, or are on a romantic honeymoon and prefer to sleep in.
Similarly, you have the option to extend the drive for the whole day if you want. Maasai Mara is an extensive reserve, and such a grand-scale adventure deserves a full day exploration. For only $30-40 per person, you can get this option PLUS a picnic lunch.
Feast your eyes on the massive crocodiles of Mara River, the elephants roaming the plains, or the lazy lions sleeping in the sun. Birds of all shapes, colors, and sizes will provide a field-day for bird enthusiasts. At the end of your drive, return to Mara Sarova a good night’s rest, or partake in the nightly cheer at the local pubs and bars.
Meal Plan: B, L, D
Day 3: Maasai Mara Kenya Safari End; Back to Nairobi
With your safari holiday in Kenya coming to an end, you get to enjoy one last game drive. This might be a good chance to embed the image of the Mara and its spectacular wildlife into your memory. The sunsets evoke memories of simpler times and can be quite the emotional experience.
We transfer you back to Nairobi and take you to the airport for your flight home. Arrive in Nairobi at about lunch time. Hopefully, you will visit again someday!
