Day 2 - Explore the vast Masai Mara: Enjoy an early breakfast, as today will be a game-viewing extravaganza! You'll traverse the Masai Mara reserve on a full day of unlimited game viewing, encountering the Big Five and more of the lesser game. The Masai Mara National Reserve remains one of the most exciting wildlife ecosystems in the world. It hosts the highest and most varied concentration of wild animals of any other regional wildlife park. The scenic appeal of the tree-studded savannah plains, the moderate climate, and the diversity of wildlife make it a one-stop shop for game viewing. You will have a picnic lunch by the Mara River as we watch hippos and crocodiles, or maybe the great migration (July – October). Dinner and our overnight stay are at the Serena Lodge.
Day Day 4

Day 3 - Masai Mara to Nairobi: Enjoy a sumptuous breakfast before checking out. Afterward, you'll embark on a visit to a Maasai village, where you can immerse yourself in the rich culture and traditions of the Maasai people. This experience includes the opportunity to engage in traditional singing and dancing, allowing you to connect with the community and gain a deeper understanding of their way of life. Later, begin your journey to Nairobi. On the way, your guide will point out the Longonot extinct volcano, a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in Kenya's Great Rift Valley. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s. Its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong'ot, meaning "mountains of many spurs" or "steep ridges". You'll arrive in Nairobi in time for lunch, and later, the driver-guide will ensure you are dropped off at your hotel or at the airport in time for your flight back home.
