Day 1 to 4 Luxurious Safari Adventure in the Mara
Day 1: Welcome to Nairobi. Our team member will warmly welcome you at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your Nairobi hotel and your adventure begins. You can either drive to your lodge or fly into the iconic savannah grassland of the Maasai Mara where a camp guide will welcome you and transfer you to your accommodations. In the afternoon, embark on your first game drive through the Maasai Mara’s varied landscapes. Home to over 500 bird species and the Big 5, and recognized to being home to the world’s largest terrestrial mammal migration. It is also perfect to spot big cats. End the day with a sundowner overlooking the plains, followed by a gourmet dinner at the lodge
Day 2: LEGACY EXPLORATION. We highly recommend that you go on a full-day safari in the Mara with a picnic breakfast before returning for lunch. If you’re on honeymoon or on a romantic holiday with your partner, then the team at the Lodge can plan an ‘Out Of Africa’ picnic like no other. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Your guide will show you the best areas for exceptional private game viewing. The Masai Mara is one of the finest game reserves in Africa and home to the Great Migration, one of the greatest spectacles on earth when up to 2 million wildebeests (notably zebras and wildebeest), migrate throughout Kenya and Tanzania in line with the rains, in search of new feeding and mating grounds.
Day 3: SOARING ABOVE THE MARA PLAINS. Awaken early for a hot-air balloon safari, one of the most magical ways to experience the Masai Mara. As you glide above the plains, watch the sunrise illuminate the landscape and spot herds of animals below. Upon landing, enjoy a bush breakfast complete with champagne, set amidst the natural beauty of the Mara. Afterward, embark on a morning game drive to explore more of the reserve’s diverse habitats before returning to your lodge or camp for lunch.
In the afternoon, take a guided walking safari to uncover the Mara’s smaller wonders, from colorful birds to unique plant species. Your guide will provide fascinating insights into the interconnectedness of the ecosystem. Conclude the day with a sundowner and a gourmet dinner back at your lodge or camp, savoring the luxury and tranquility of your surroundings.
Day 4: DISCOVERING MORE WONDERS OF THE MAASAI MARA. Begin the day with a morning game drive, delving deeper into the Mara’s vast expanse. The Mara offers endless opportunities for discovery. Return to your lodge or camp for a leisurely lunch, taking time to relax or spend the whole day out exploring the vast Savannah.
Return to your lodge or camp for dinner, a culinary delight that perfectly caps off another day in this extraordinary reserve.
