Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya's wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest's migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals. There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 birds' species recorded on the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).
This Safari will start off with a journey to the beautiful Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley which offers spectacular views. On arrival at the Masai Mara Park you will spend your time in search of the wildlife that makes this one of Africa's premier safari destinations. The Masai Mara is especially famous for its large cat population and also the fact that it plays an integral role in the Wildebeest Migration, a wildlife spectacular like none other on earth. You will also have a bird's eye view of the Masai Mara during the balloon safari. The scenic and wildlife adventure of this Masai Mara Safari ends back in Nairobi on the last day.
The driver guide will pick you up at your hotel or airport upon arrival and after a briefing, be driven to Masai Mara. Brief stop at The Great Rift valley view point. Arrive at your lodge in time for lunch. After lunch take your first thrilling game drive in the Masai Mara game reserve, one of East Africa's top safari destinations. The Mara reserve incorporates 1510 km² of incredible, wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is typical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Returning from your first foray into Masai Mara we have dinner and relax under the stars, falling asleep to the sounds of the bush.
On this day you will have full day or morning and afternoon game drives in search of Africa's Big Five and other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve. On clear days, the Mara offers fantastic orange tinged sunsets well-worth capturing on camera. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see a frequent amount of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal, or surveying the plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot, but reasonably common.
After breakfast depart from the camp and return to bustling Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon. This unforgettable 3-Day Masai Mara Safari ends upon arrival back in Nairobi. We will host you for lunch at the famous carnivore restaurant and later be dropped at the airport or your hotel.
