Masai Mara Game Reserve 2 Days/1 Night Kenya Flying Safari

Detailed Itinerary

The Masai Mara is Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight. The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled. The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve. Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another.

The first sight of this Game Park is breathtaking. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendor and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination.

We have several choices of the leading tented camps in the Mara for the experience of sleeping under canvas but in luxurious conditions! The camps have tents for guest accommodation as well as dining area and bar. Tents are built on a cement base or wooden platform under thatched roof or heavy-duty canvas fly sheet. All have en-suite bathrooms with normal flush toilet, hot and cold showers. The facilities in some camps even include a swimming pool for relaxation after ‘Spice’ game drives. Our Game drives are conducted in 4 wheel drive jeeps with experienced driver— guides who know the area extremely well.

Day 1
Nairobi – Masai Mara Game Reserve

This morning we drive through the dramatic Great Rift Valley to the Masai Mara Game Reserve. This enormous reserve is actually part of the vast Serengeti plains famously known for its spectacular great wildebeest’s migration and is home of the Big Five: Lion, Elephant, Leopard, Buffalo and Rhino. Lunch at our Lodge and relax before departing for the afternoon 'Spice" game drive.

The Mara Game Reserve is one of the greatest wildernesses of the world. Large mammals are varied, and easy to see. Residents among the Park's are: Masai Giraffe, Buffalo, Eland and thousand of plain game including Impala, Zebra, Topi, both Thomson's and grants Gazelles.

Day 2
Masai Mara Game Reserve – Nairobi

Early morning tea/coffee or Hot chocolate then depart for a morning ‘Spice’ game drive. Here we find the Old Africa of the movies, with rolling grasslands dotted by acacia trees and sweeping plains teeming with wildlife. No matter how much you have thought about Africa, this is more than you expected—and the ideal backdrop for a hot air balloon expedition. During our stay we also have an opportunity to visit a village of the Masai people to witness the singing and dancing that are part of their daily lives and sacred rituals. A glimpse into their homes and social structure is a poignant experience.

Bush flights are a pleasure in themselves and we wing our way back to Nairobi after breakfast.
