Tour Features

If you only have a few days but still want a real African safari, this is it. In just three days, we take you straight into the heart of the legendary Maasai Mara National Reserve, where the wildlife is rich, the landscapes are endless, and every game drive feels like a scene out of a documentary. From the moment you arrive, the experience begins. You'll embark on expertly guided game drives in search of the Big Five—lions resting in the grass, elephants moving across the plains, and, if you're lucky, a leopard hiding in the trees. The Mara is one of Africa's best places for close-up wildlife sightings, so you're not just seeing animals; you're actually there with them. If you travel between July and October, you may see the world-famous Great Migration—thousands of wildebeest crossing rivers in a dramatic fight for survival. It's raw, powerful, and something you will never forget.

  • Day 1 - Nairobi - Masai Mara

    You will be picked up at the airport or your Nairobi hotel and taken to the Masai Mara National Reserve. It remains one of the few places on Earth where wildlife can still be found in the numbers that used to roam the African plains and forests. As the northernmost point of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara sees a spectacular seasonal migration of thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and predators.

    Main Destination: Maasai Mara NR

    Accommodation: Mara Simba Lodge

    Meals & Drinks: Lunch, Dinner Included

  • Day 2 - Masai Mara Full day

    After breakfast, we will embark on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch provided. The reserve is renowned for its black-maned lions and abundant resident wildlife. It is one of the few places where it is possible to see the Big Five during a morning game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so accustomed to people that they seek shelter from the hot sun underneath vehicles, and some even climb onto the roofs to get a better view of potential prey. For bird enthusiasts, nearly 500 species have been recorded in the area.

Getting There

Tourists can visit these safari locations once in Kenya and can show up via air, land or ocean, however, flights are the most favoured mode of transport. Kenya is a huge nation and while you can go via vehicle on a safari circuit, getting between the various regions is better on a booked flight.Kenya's main airport is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), located 15km/9mi southeast of Nairobi. Kenya's second international Airport is Moi International Airport (MBA), located 9km/6mi west of Mombasa, but aside from flights to Zanzibar, this is primarily used for domestic and charter flights.From Nairobi or Mombasa, one can fly or drive between reserves, or opt to do a bit of both. Most domestic flights out of Nairobi depart from Wilson Airport (WIL), 6km/4mi south of Nairobi.
