Our amiable driver guide will pick you up from your city hotel for the masai mara game reserve 3 days safari. You will drop into the great rift valley through the meandering and scenic road on the Eastern escarpment of the rift. Make a short 10 minutes scheduled stop over at the escarpment to learn about how and when the rift valley was created. You will drive through the floor of the great rift and up onto the western escarpment and later dropping into the Loita Masai mara plains. Arrive at the Masai mara safari lodge at 13:00hrs and check in. Later enjoy a sumptuous 3 course buffet lunch while watching the plains. Retire to your rooms for an afternoon siesta and to relax from the drive. An evening game drive at 1600hrs introduces you to the Masai mara proper where you can now see al the animals grazing in the plains and the lions and leopards lazing away from the sun after having their fill for the day. Continue with the game drive until dusk with an off chance of seeing a lion kill or a cheetah hunt. Dinner and overnight at the lodge after a great day of game drive.

You second day is the climax of your masai mara visit. You will be out all day game viewing or following the wildebeest migration. You will be awoken by the chanting of the birds and the laughing of the hyenas just before dawn. Enjoy a full breakfast and take in as much as you can…its going to be a long one. Depart the lodge at 7:30am for a full day game drive with packed lunch boxes. You will drive to the mara river with enroute game drives as you view the wildlife in the plains in the early morning. A circling swarm of vultures in the sky indicates a kill and the hyenas will most likely be making a beeline dash to the kill. It will do you good to make a small detour to be at a lion kill. Arrive at the mara river and depending on the season, watch as the thousands of wildebeests drop into the water in a splsh as they try to beat the raging floods and the marauding 18ft nile crocodiles. The lions, cheetahs and leopards have also formed a welcoming committee on the opposite bank to snatch the unaware victims. Its high drama at high noon at the mara river wildebeest migration crossing. Enjoy a picnic lunch by the river mara and later an afternoon game drive enroute back to the lodge. Arrive at the lodge late evening for a welcome showers, dinner and overnight stay. Remember to charge your camera batteries and clear your camera memory sticks, you will need more of that.

Have a cup of coffee before sauntering into the game drive plains at 0630am for a one last look around for the rare game. It’s the best time to see a leopard kill or a rock python smothering an antelope. Enjoy a game drive in the crisp but chirpy morning chill and welcome sun rays. This is the time all the action happens…so keep your eyes peeled and ears batted. You don’t want to miss anything. Later return to lodge at 9:30 for a full breakfast and check out for Nairobi with an enroute picnic lunch.
