Scenic Drive to Masai Mara: As you leave Nairobi, you’ll head west, driving through the diverse landscapes of Kenya. You’ll pass through bustling towns, farmland, and eventually the stunning Great Rift Valley. There will be a stop at a scenic viewpoint to capture photos and take in the sweeping views of the Rift Valley escarpment.
Mid-Morning

Afternoon Game Drive
First Game Drive Experience: Around 3:30 PM, you’ll embark on your first game drive. As you enter the Masai Mara National Reserve, your expert guide will begin tracking the Big Five and other wildlife. Late afternoon is an ideal time for sightings, as the heat of the day subsides and animals become more active.
Wildlife Encounters: Your guide will take you to prime viewing areas to spot animals such as elephants grazing, lions resting under the shade, herds of zebras, giraffes, and perhaps even cheetahs on the prowl. During the Great Migration season (July-October), you may witness thousands of wildebeest and zebras making their way across the plains.
Evening
Sundowner on the Mara Plains: As the sun begins to set, you’ll enjoy a classic African sundowner—a moment to pause and take in the spectacular sunset over the savannah. This is a perfect photo opportunity as the sky turns hues of orange and purple, casting an enchanting glow over the landscape.

Wake-Up Call & Refreshments: Your day begins with a wake-up call before dawn, accompanied by a hot beverage and light snacks to fuel you for the early game drive.
Dawn Game Drive: Set out around 6:00 AM for an early morning game drive, which offers the best chance to witness the Masai Mara’s predators in action. This time of day is perfect for spotting big cats like lions, leopards, and cheetahs on the hunt, as well as elephants, giraffes, and buffalos moving through the savannah in the soft morning light.

Mid-Morning
Return to Lodge for Brunch: Return to your lodge or camp mid-morning to enjoy a hearty brunch, relax, and freshen up. This is a good time to unwind, take in the lodge amenities, or perhaps chat with fellow travelers about your wildlife sightings.
Afternoon Activities
Free Time and Optional Activities: The early afternoon is yours to relax or take part in optional activities. Many lodges offer amenities such as a pool, spa treatments, or nature walks. For an extra cost, you may opt for a visit to a Maasai village, where you can learn about Maasai customs, experience traditional dances, and purchase handmade crafts.
Afternoon Game Drive
Second Game Drive of the Day: At around 3:30 PM, set out for another game drive as wildlife becomes active again in the cooler part of the day. Your guide may take you to new areas of the park to increase your chances of spotting a variety of animals, from herds of grazing antelope to family groups of elephants and towering giraffes.
Seasonal Highlights: If you’re visiting between July and October, you may witness the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras cross from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara. During this time, the dramatic river crossings are a highlight, with crocodiles lying in wait as herds plunge through the Mara River.

The Mara’s morning light provides a stunning backdrop for photos and memorable sightings.
