Day 1: Nairobi/ Masai Mara
You will be picked up from the central point in Nairobi by your driver/guide, who will accompany you to a short briefing and then head to Maasai Mara Game Reserve in the customised 7-seater safari minivan with a pop-up roof.
Make a brief stopover at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint for photography and then proceed to Narok Town and Masai Mara.
Arrive at the park, and you will take part in your first game drive in this world-famous reserve which is an extension of Serengeti National Park. At some point during your stay, you will be driven by the river; a great place to spot wildlife.
See why this area is a photographer’s delight where with any luck, you will be able to take amazing pictures of hippo and crocodile in the water. Park rules allow for off-road driving, which means that you can venture into plains where you can spot hundreds and thousands of animals. Masai Mara is also famous for its community or the Masai people.
Return to the camp for dinner, and your overnight stay later in the evening.

Day 2: Masai Mara
Head to the reserve with a picnic lunch box to enjoy along the way. You will spend the whole day on an exciting game drive. Masai Mara offers incredible scenery and plenty of game. It is perhaps the only region left in Kenya where a visitor may see animals in the same super-abundance as existed a century ago.
Spend the afternoon on a game drive in search of the black-manned lion. A lion kill can be witnessed in the late afternoon or a leopard in a tree enjoying the meal he has dragged up on a limb to avoid disturbance and detection. This reserve has hilly savannahs, rolling grasslands, and a forest gallery on the Mara River and its tributaries.
Soak in the abundance of untamed wilderness, fresh and natural scenery, filled with exotic wildlife during our expertly guided game drives.
You can find all the "Big Five" animals (elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo) here. However, the population of black rhinos is severely threatened, with only 37 black rhinos left as of 2000 herds of plains zebras are found throughout the park, as well as Masai giraffes, common giraffes, jackals, white-bearded gnus, Oribis, warthogs, Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, hartebeests, hyenas, bat-eared foxes, rare Topi antelope and beautiful Roan antelope, as well as hippos and crocodiles in the Mara River.
Return to the camp for dinner and your overnight stay in the evening.
