Highlights

This tour is perfect for travelers who want to experience the Maasai Mara in one day without staying overnight. The early 4:00 AM departure gives you more time to enjoy the reserve after the scenic drive from Nairobi through the Great Rift Valley. Once in Maasai Mara, you will enjoy a game drive across the open savannah, with chances to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, antelopes, and other wildlife. After the game drive, you will stop for lunch at your own expense. You may also add an optional Maasai village visit at an extra cost, if confirmed at least one day before the tour.

About Nairobi

Nairobi is Kenya's energetic capital and the starting point for East African safari, with a national park where wildlife roams beneath the city skyline.

Nairobi National Park lies just beyond the suburbs, and its lions, rhinos, giraffes and buffalo can be seen with skyscrapers on the horizon. Close by, an orphanage raises young elephants rescued from across Kenya, and the Giraffe Centre lets visitors meet rare Rothschild's giraffes eye to eye from a raised platform.
