3 Days
Private Safari in Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
We do it with #Kilimanjaro #Joy Tours #Discover #Maasai Mara
National Reserve, the most famous and most visited reserve in Kenya where all
large African animals are present. In the Maa language, Mara means
"spotted" and may refer to the colorful landscapes. Alternatively,
the name may refer to the arrival of over two million herbivores during the
annual migration (wildebeest, gazelles, and zebras). So, what are you waiting
for? Pack your bag and be ready for your amazing journey in Maasai Mara!

Wild Adventures Safari in Kenya Itinerary
DAY 1:
NAIROBI - MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE
You
will be picked up from your hotel in Nairobi on the agreed time upon
confirmation of your tour. Then, you will depart to Maasai Mara National
Reserve at 08:00 via the viewpoint of the western Great Rift Valley and Narok
Town for lunch. Your journey will deepen into the Maasai plains, arriving at
around 14:00 for check in to your tented camp.
The Maasai Mara National
Reserve is widely considered to be one of the world’s greatest safari
destinations featuring traditional Maasai Village, breathtaking scenery, and an
incredible abundance of both resident and migratory wildlife. Your afternoon
drive will begin late in the day and conclude just before darkness falls.
This is the best time of the
day for nocturnal hunters who prepare for their nightly expeditions. Watering
holes are also usually busy just before sunset as animals such as hippos return
to their resting spots while others congregate to drink before retiring for the
night.
DAY 2:
MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE (FULL DAY)
Your
day starts with the breakfast at the camp and by 08:00, you'll leave with
picnic lunch for a full day game drive. The Maasai Mara landscape is scenic
savannah grassland on rolling hills. The reserve is the best park for game
viewing in Kenya as it has an extensive road and track network which allows for
close range viewing and photography.
Famous for its rich wildlife,
the Maasai Mara is home to not only the Big Five (elephant, lion, buffalo,
rhino, and leopard) but also many birds (over 500 species of birds have been
recorded). A game drive to Mara River which is the point to spot the crocodiles
and hippopotamus is always emphasized by the guides.
The mighty river is inhabited
by crocodiles lying in wait for the wildebeest to cross during their
spectacular annual mass migration from the Serengeti in the South to the Maasai
Mara in the North. You will take a break for your picnic lunch after viewing
the hippos and crocodile. Your game drive will continue till late in the
evening. You will also have the option of visiting a local Maasai Village.
DAY 3:
MAASAI MARA NATIONAL RESERVE - NAIROBI
There
will be an early morning pre-breakfast game drive and perhaps you will catch a
glimpse of the big cats as they hunt and kill very early in the morning. You'll
have a great chance to view lions, cheetahs, and leopards at this time of the
morning. If you are lucky you will witness a hunt and a kill.
At 09:30, back to the camp for
full breakfast. Later, you will depart the Maasai Mara for Nairobi with a
stopover at the curio store where you can buy some souvenirs to remind you of a
great holiday in the Mara. You will arrive in Nairobi at around 16:00 where you
can be dropped off at your hotel or airport for your flight back home.
