Day by day

Day 1 - Drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara National ReserveZebra Plains Mara Camp

07:00 hrs: You'll have a meet-up with our hospitality representative and your dedicated safari driver-guide at the hotel lobby/Airport. After introductions and a pre-safari brief, you depart Nairobi, driving down the eastern wall of the Great Rift Valley. Your driver-guide will stop at strategic viewpoints for photography, where you will come out and view the escarpment and take photos. You drive on to Masai Mara to arrive at your camp in the early afternoon for check-in and lunch.

Lunch in the camp will be followed by free time at leisure to relax and enjoy a swim.

You'll enjoy afternoon game viewing drives in the reserve. The Mara is also noted for its abundance of lions - particularly the superb black-maned males. You'll see lots of elephants here, often in large herds, as well as — if you're lucky — leopard, cheetah and rhino. All of the Big Five are residents. You're sure to see the African buffalo. Get the cameras ready, charge the batteries and enjoy yourself!

Meals & drinks: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included); Drinks not included

Overnight: Zebra Plains Mara Camp
Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara National Reserve

Day 2 - Masai Mara National ReserveZebra Plains Mara Camp

You'll have a full day in the Mara with morning and afternoon wildlife viewing drives daily in the Reserve. Certainly, the most frequented game reserve in Kenya, the Masai Mara is a magnificent landscape of open plains bisected by the Mara River and its tributaries, and punctuated by marshes and forests.

Hot Air Balloon Safari - At an Extra Cost:

Flying high up in the skies above Masai Mara is the ultimate safari experience. The landscape below is a never-ending, exciting mixture of riverine forests, sprawling savannahs, towering escarpments, and rugged rivers. There's really nothing quite like it; the view is unparalleled, and the experience is unforgettable!

Meals & drinks: All meals included; Drinks not included

Overnight: Zebra Plains Mara Camp
Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara National Reserve

Day 3 - Masai Mara National ReserveZebra Plains Mara Camp

Another day in the Mara, to explore the reserve and its rich flora and fauna during your morning and afternoon game drives. This 650 sq kilometre reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen anywhere, considering its size.

During the seasonal migrations, the Masai Mara is home to up to a million wildebeest and an equally impressive number of zebra that move into the area from neighbouring Serengeti National Park, in Tanzania.

Meals & drinks: All meals included; Drinks not included

Day 4 - Masai Mara to Nairobi City & Departure

The Carnivore is a meat speciality restaurant. At the restaurant, whole joints of meat, lamb, pork legs, exotic meats, sausages, chicken livers and wings, and even crocodile are skewered on traditional Masai swords and roasted over a huge charcoal pit!

Later, you will transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your travel home.

NB: Day Room/s can be arranged at a supplement fee on request.

What travellers say

My wife and I went on our first safari and decided to use Afio Mai Africa Safaris. We had an incredible time! Tevin made planning our safari extremely easy and was very responsive to any questions we had. Our driver was very professional and knowledgeable about all the animals and birds. We saw the big five, the small five, the ugly five, and many others.

DennisLake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara

Our driver-guide was perfect in every way: polite, pleasant, always on time, organized, and incredibly knowledgeable of the flora, fauna, and cultures of the Kenyan people. He was extremely helpful in making the trip perfect!
