Day by day

Day 1 - Fly Nairobi to Masai Mara National ReserveZebra Plains Mara Camp

07:00hrs: You'll meet up with our hospitality representative at your city hotel lobby/airport for a pre-safari briefing. Thereafter, you transfer to Wilson Airport, Nairobi, for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara, departing at 10:00 am to arrive at the Mara Airstrip at 11:45 am.

You will be met on arrival at the airstrip by your dedicated safari driver-guide and driven to your camp with a game viewing drive on the way.

Lunch at the camp followed by an afternoon at leisure to relax and enjoy the camp facilities that include a swimming pool that gives you sweeping views of the expansive Masai Mara plains.

You'll enjoy an afternoon game drive in the reserve. The Mara is 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.

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

Day 2 - Masai Mara National ReserveZebra Plains Mara Camp

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.

As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. You will arrive in time for lunch, then have an afternoon game drive. This 650 sq kilometers reserve supports the highest density of game to be seen anywhere considering its size.

Meals & drinks: All meals included; Drinks not included

Overnight: Zebra Plains Mara Camp

The Carnivore is a meat specialty 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!

After an early breakfast in the camp/lodge, you will check out and drive to Nairobi to arrive in the late afternoon.

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!
