Your Itinerary
Day 1 — Fly In, Lunch & Afternoon Game Drive
Your Mara adventure kicks off at Wilson Airport, Nairobi. Board a light aircraft and enjoy a scenic 45-minute flight over the Great Rift Valley escarpment as the city fades and the endless savannah stretches out below you. Touch down at the Mara airstrip where your private guide and vehicle are waiting.
Head to camp for a welcome lunch, freshen up, then set off on your afternoon game drive into the reserve. The Mara is alive at this hour — elephant herds moving to water, leopards draped over acacia branches, and the ever-present drama of the African bush unfolding around every bend. As the sun sets, the plains turn gold and you return to camp for dinner beneath a sky blazing with stars.
Day 2 — Sunrise Game Drive & Fly Out
There is no better alarm clock than the sounds of the African bush at dawn. Rise early for your morning game drive — the most rewarding time to be in the Mara. Lions finishing a night hunt, cheetahs scanning the horizon, hippos wallowing in the river shallows. Your guide will make every minute count.
Return to camp for a full breakfast, check out, and transfer to the airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi. By late morning you're back in the city — but the Mara's magic will linger long after.
