Day 1
Nairobi - Masai Mara
Between 06h00 and 07h30, you will be picked up from your hotel or residence in Nairobi and transferred to our office, the departure point for the safari. Our Masai Mara safari tour will take us through the viewpoint of the Great Rift Valley and Narok town for lunch and refueling. Our journey deepens into the Maasai plains. Upon arrival, you will check into your camp. Throughout the year, the Masai Mara has the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa. The elephants roam the savannah plains, and the lion prides provide more than just a glimpse. Buffalo herds and animals like zebras, giraffes, gazelles, cheetahs, and warthogs give an amazing and beautiful welcome to your first day of safari, which will last until sunset. Dinner and overnight are provided at your tented camp. Budget tented camp located just outside Masai Mara NR Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included)

Day 2
Full-day game drive in Masai Mara
You have the option of starting the day with a balloon safari, which can be arranged at an extra cost. Our day starts with breakfast at the camp.

Venturing through the Masai Mara plains, you will arrive at the Mara River, which is a point of migration and where you can spot crocodiles and hippopotamuses. The picnic lunch will be enjoyed beside a hippo pool, viewing the hippos and crocodiles. During the months from July to October, you can see the great migration if you are lucky. It is one of the best annual spectacles in this reserve, which is famous all over the world. Game viewing will continue until 17h00. Dinner and overnight are provided at the tented camp.

masai mara safari
we watched all of Big Five ! Thanks to the driver's quick ride to show me the animals in a nice spot, I took a lot of great pictures. The driver Josph was kind and positive. He drives so well and he took care of my son very well. I recommend it!!
Joyce JOSE · United Arab Emirates
Very reliable and trustworthy
Joy always responded quickly, and her answers were accurate and reassuring. She was also very flexible in accommodating my needs. I joined this safari as a solo female traveler and requested to be placed in a group. I was added to a group of five, making it a total of six people, including myself. Everyone was very friendly, and we bonded like a family. Clinton was an excellent and experienced guide. Thanks to him, we were able to see most of the animals in the Maasai Mara and take many great photos. The campsite was an eco-camp, and due to heavy rain at night, there were some issues with electricity supply. However, the food was delicious, and I was very satisfied. The rainy weather was simply due to the season, so it couldn’t be helped. Fortunately, we hardly encountered any rain during the safari itself, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience. I strongly recommend everyone this tour operator. When deciding which tour operator to use, I compared various websites and travel companies. This company offered the most reasonable price, and their response time was incredibly fast. I thank Joy especially as she is a hardworking lady and very professional.
