01DAY 1Arrival in Nairobi and Safari Briefing
Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you will be welcomed and assisted by the travel team. After arrival support, you will be transferred to your hotel in Nairobi.

02DAY 2Nairobi to Masai Mara
After breakfast, depart Nairobi and drive toward Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa’s most famous safari destinations. The route passes through scenic countryside and the Great Rift Valley region before reaching the Mara area. After check-in and lunch, continue for an afternoon game drive. Masai Mara is known for lions, elephants, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and many other species.

This day gives the safari a different landscape after the wide-open plains of Masai Mara.
