Masai Mara Safari Full Itinerary
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara. Morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel. The drive takes about 5 to 6 hours through the Great Rift Valley, with a stop at a viewpoint overlooking the valley floor. Arrive at the camp for lunch. After resting, head out for an afternoon game drive as the animals become active in the cooler hours. Return to camp for dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Full day in the Masai Mara. The heart of the safari. A full day of game drives across the reserve with a picnic lunch in the bush (or return to camp, depending on the day’s plan). This is your best chance to see the Big Five and, in season (July to October), the Great Migration, when over 1.5 million wildebeest and zebra cross the Mara River. Your guide knows where the predators hunt and where the herds gather. Overnight at the luxury camp.
Day 3: Masai Mara to Nairobi. An early morning game drive when big cats are most active, followed by breakfast. Depart the reserve and drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon. Optional visit to a Maasai village to learn about the local culture (small extra fee, paid on-site).
What Makes This a Luxury Safari
The difference between a budget and aluxury safari is comfort. Budget camps use basic tents with shared facilities and simple meals. This tour uses a luxury tented camp: spacious canvas tents with real beds, en-suite bathrooms, hot running water, and proper dining. You’re still immersed in the wild, listening to lions at night, but you sleep well and eat well. For many travelers, this comfort is what makes a multi-day safari sustainable and enjoyable.
Before You Book
Best time to go. July to October for the Great Migration and river crossings. January to March for calving season and predator action. The reserve has good wildlife year-round, but these windows are exceptional.
What to bring. Binoculars, camera with zoom lens, sunscreen, hat, insect repellent, neutral-colored clothing (avoid bright colors and blue/black which attract tsetse flies), and layers for cool mornings.
- Health. Consult a travel clinic. Yellow Fever vaccination and malaria prophylaxis are typically recommended for Kenya. Check current requirements before travel.
- Visa. Most nationalities need a Kenya eTA (electronic travel authorization). Apply online before travel.
- Group size affects price. Larger groups lower the per-person cost. The price is based on how many people share the vehicle and camp.
- Gratuities. Tipping your driver-guide is customary, typically $10 to $20 per person per day.
- Cancellation: free cancellation up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund.
