You'll start your adventure with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and embark on a scenic drive through Kenya's picturesque countryside. Stopover 1: Great Rift Valley Viewpoint – Pause here for panoramic views of the dramatic escarpment, stretching volcanic landscapes while snapping photos of this geological wonder. You'll arrive at Maasai Mara National Reserve by midday. You'll check into Sarova Mara Game Camp for a refreshing lunch. In the afternoon, you'll head out on your first game drive (3-4 hours) through the reserve's rolling grasslands. You'll spot elephants, zebras, and giraffes grazing freely, with opportunities to witness predators like cheetahs or lions on the prowl. You will return to the camp as the sun sets for dinner and an overnight stay.

On your way out, you will pass by the Maasai Village to immerse yourself in Maasai culture with a guided tour of a traditional manyatta (village). You'll learn about their warrior traditions, beadwork, and jumping dances. Also, you'll get an opportunity to buy souvenirs.

5.0/5I went on safari with Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris on Christmas Day, and it turned out to be the highlight of our holiday. Just two days before, I called Alfred to arrange a quick two-day safari to Tsavo East from Mombasa. Despite the short notice, he acted swiftly, kept us updated throughout, and managed to secure a beautiful lodge for us. To make the experience even better, Alfred sent us an exceptional guide, Samson, whose knowledge and experience truly elevated the trip. Samson was jovial, witty, and full of fun; he seemed to know exactly where the elephants were hiding in Tsavo East, which made every game drive exciting. His energy and humor added so much joy to our Christmas adventure. We are deeply grateful to Alfred and Samson for turning our last-minute plan into such a memorable safari. They really spiced up our Christmas, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris any day, anytime!

My friends and I had an amazing and extraordinary experience across Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. Thank you so much Alfred - I remember your assurance during the call we had when planning and the amazing Isaac. Hats off to Isaac, who was our tour guide. We will definitely be back and with no one else but Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris!

Through Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris, our safari in Kenya was effortless and enjoyable. Everything went as planned. Our communication with Nicholas was honest and professional. The whole team from Iyana including Isaac, our tour guide created an atmosphere of trust and confidence. More flowers to Isaac who ensured that we never missed any magical adventure throughout the trip. He added meaning to every little thing that we saw, from birds, making stops for us to enjoy young cabs trying to hunt in Masai Mara, trying to teach us local names of animals - Isaac was a joy to be with. He never rushed the pace of the trip ensuring that we were relaxed and enjoying the beauty of the savannah. I am glad that we chose Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris as our preferred company! Definitely stars for Iyana!

I have been to a couple of African countries but I must say Iyana Africa exceeded my expectations. Everything from communication upon placing the request, the itinerary organization and whole safari experience was just amazing. Nicholas was my first contact and was very professional I even wished he could be my tour guide. Upon landing at the airport, Nicholas and Alfred were there to receive me with some gifts, this really humbled me! I was lucky to be given the latest jeep for my safari, SHEM the driver and tour guide was very proficient and had an answer to all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and knew where exactly to go to spot the animals. I was lucky to see all the big five as Nicholas had promised. If you are planning to visit Kenya, I highly recommend Iyana Africa Tours and Safaris. Thank you so much Iyana Africa Tours team especially Nicholas, Alfred and Shem. Keep up the excellent work you are doing.
