Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara by Air & Afternoon Game Drive
Your adventure begins with a scenic morning flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport to the Maasai Mara airstrip. The aerial view of the Great Rift Valley, patchwork farmland, and Maasai Mara plains is breathtaking and a perfect introduction to your safari.
Upon arrival, you will be transferred to your luxury lodge or tented camp, located deep within the reserve. After settling in, embark on your first afternoon game drive, where you may spot lions lounging in the grass, elephants roaming majestically, giraffes browsing acacia trees, and wildebeest grazing on the plains. Bird enthusiasts will enjoy spotting eagles, vultures, and the colorful lilac-breasted roller.
Return to your lodge in the evening for sundowners, a gourmet dinner, and overnight stay surrounded by the serene sounds of the African wilderness.
Day 2: Full Day in Maasai Mara – Game Drives & Optional Cultural Visit
Wake early for a morning game drive, when wildlife activity is at its peak. Watch lion prides stretch in the early light, elephant herds moving across the savannah, and perhaps even elusive cheetahs or leopards hunting in the distance. The early hours are perfect for photography, capturing golden sunlight on the Mara plains.
After a bush breakfast or brunch, enjoy another afternoon game drive, exploring riverine forests, rolling grasslands, and woodland areas of the reserve. During the day, encounter zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and numerous bird species, each adding to the rich tapestry of Maasai Mara’s biodiversity.
Optional visits to a Maasai village offer insight into local traditions, including beadwork, dances, and daily life. Interact with community members, learning about their unique culture while supporting local livelihoods. Return to your lodge for an evening of relaxation, fine dining, and stargazing from your private terrace.
Day 3: Morning Game Drive & Return to Nairobi
On your final day, wake early for a sunrise game drive. Witness the Maasai Mara come alive with the sounds and movements of wildlife at dawn. Lions prepare for the day, elephants roam in herds, and giraffes feed gracefully on treetops. Capture those last unforgettable moments before returning to your lodge for breakfast.
After breakfast, transfer to the Maasai Mara airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi, enjoying scenic aerial views of the plains and the Great Rift Valley. Arrive in Nairobi by early afternoon, concluding your 3-Day Flying Safari to Maasai Mara with lasting memories of Africa’s iconic wildlife and landscapes.
