Itinerary

Arrive in the Masai Mara by road from Nairobi or by flight from Wilson Airport to the nearest airstrip. You are met and transferred to camp, welcomed with refreshments and shown to your tent before an afternoon at leisure or an optional game drive.

Set out early for the morning game drive, when predators are most active, then return for a relaxed lunch and rest. An afternoon drive follows, finishing with sundowners or dinner back at camp.

Spend another day exploring the plains for lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes and, in season, the Great Migration. Ask our team about optional extras such as a hot air balloon safari or a Maasai cultural visit.

Enjoy a final breakfast, then transfer to the airstrip or begin the drive back to Nairobi with a camp full of memories. Your stay can be extended night by night.
