2 day Fly-in Safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara

Let’s start your adventure with a scenic flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Maasai Mara. This 45-minute flight isn’t just quick, it’s also a chance to take in breathtaking aerial views of Kenya’s landscapes, from the bustling cityscape to the rolling savannahs of the Mara. Upon landing, you’ll feel the immediate shift into the wild, greeted by the open plains that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Once on the ground, your first game drive begins. This is when the magic really happens. The Maasai Mara is renowned for its abundant wildlife, and your local guide will expertly lead you through the savannahs, where lions, cheetahs, elephants, and other iconic animals roam freely. Each sighting brings its own thrill, whether it’s a pride of lions lazing in the shade or a cheetah scanning the horizon for prey.

Lunch is served in the heart of the Mara, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wild. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a moment to soak in the raw beauty of your surroundings. The afternoon drive offers another opportunity to explore this incredible reserve. Depending on the time of year, you might even catch a glimpse of the Great Migration, one of nature’s most spectacular events.

As the day draws to a close, you’ll head back to your lodge, where you can unwind and reflect on the day’s adventures over dinner. The sounds of the African bush, coupled with stories shared around the table, create the perfect end to your first day in the Mara.

This day begins with an early morning game drive, leveraging the cool air and the morning's soft light to catch the nocturnal creatures before they retreat and Mara's other inhabitants as they awaken. This is a magical time in the Mara, where the golden sunrise provides a stunning backdrop to the silhouettes of wandering elephants, prides of lions returning from their nocturnal hunts, and the stirring herds of wildebeest and zebra.

After the morning's expedition, a hearty breakfast awaits back at the camp or lodge, offering a moment of relaxation and reflection on the morning's sightings.

The adventure resumes with a mid-morning game drive. This session allows for further exploration of the Maasai Mara's diverse ecosystems, from the riverbanks, where crocodiles and hippos lurk, to the open plains, a stage for the ceaseless drama between predators and prey. The Maasai Mara, with its unparalleled biodiversity, offers endless opportunities for wildlife observation and photography, ensuring that each game drive is unique and memorable.

As the afternoon wanes, we embark on the journey back to Nairobi, leaving the Maasai Mara behind but carrying with us the memories and impressions of one of Africa's most splendid wildlife sanctuaries.

Arriving in Nairobi in the evening, you will be taken to your hotel, the airport or any other arrangement that you might have made with us.
