Safari in Masai Mara and Naboisho with an unforgettable beach holiday

Depending on where your journey begins, you arrive in Nairobi in the afternoon or evening of day 1 - or early morning the following day. If you arrive on the first day of your travel, your arrival is followed by a direct transfer to the your hotel. After checking into your pleasant and modern accommodation, you might even have the chance to experience the city's growing reputation on your own. Nairobi is a dynamic, rapidly expanding metropolis and serves as a major economic hub in East Africa. For the evening, you might enjoy dinner at the iconic Carnivore Restaurant located right next door to your hotel, or simply relax to prepare for the adventures awaiting you on the savannah.

Today, following your arrival to Nairobi, you start with a transfer to the local small Wilson Airport, for a short flight (often on 16-seater planes) out to the Masai Mara. For those who do not wish to fly, it is also possible to drive, which takes around 5 hours. The road here has been improved, but be prepared for a slightly bumpy ride nonetheless. When we arrive in the Masai Mara, we will be met by smiling Maasai guides who will drive us to the camp. Even on this drive, there are opportunities to see the wildlife up close. We will enjoy a delicious lunch in the shade at the camp, and settle into our tent. In the afternoon, we will head out on our first proper game drive. Have your camera ready!

Today, the program includes classic safari in the morning and the afternoon by jeep. You plan the days on safari in consultation with your guide. It is common to head out in the morning and afternoon, and relax at the accommodation during the middle of the day (when it is hot and the animals have sought shade). Alternatively, it is possible to go on a full-day safari and eat lunch along the way.

After the morning game drive and a good breakfast at the safari camp, you will continue this day to the Naboisho Conservancy—this transfer stage is often combined with a new exciting game drive. The number of tourists in this nature reserve is strictly limited, allowing you to have nearly untouched encounters with the exciting wildlife. Here you can also join a walking safari (highly recommended!). Walking on the savannah is an entirely different experience than sitting in a jeep. You will look for elephants and giraffes, search for tracks left by lions and hyenas, and learn about the wildlife from the Maasai who accompany us on the walk. Perhaps you will have lunch on the savannah and return to the camp late in the afternoon. Traditional safaris (game drives by jeep) are also available here.

We can start the day with an exciting and different walking safari. Hopefully, we will see the animals flocking around the waterholes. Children aged 12 and over may participate in the walking safari when accompanied by their parents. We look for wildlife with a camera and binoculars, and the Maasai will walk with spears for our safety. The English-speaking Maasai will teach you how to decipher tracks and signs in nature and tell exciting stories along the way. (For those with children younger than 12, the children can stay behind in the camp with one of the Maasai who will entertain them with games, drawing, etc.). As evening approaches, we can have a magical 'Sundowner,' where we watch the sun slowly set over the savannah, and we will have a game drive in the dark on the way back to the camp for dinner. It is exciting to sit and look for glowing eyes that suddenly hit the beam of the flashlight.

After one final amazing morning game drive and breakfast at the camp, we fly back to Nairobi. Upon arrival at the small local airport, Wilson Airport, we can fly onwards to Diani Beach in Kenya or to beautiful Zanzibar. The choice is yours! Contact us for an exciting trip proposal.

We work with various beach hotels, so here it is up to your preferences and budget where you wish to stay. There are many opportunities for excursions, and most hotels offer watersports activities and boat trips for snorkeling. It is time to settle in and switch into holiday mode.

All good things come to an end, and it's time to say goodbye to beach life for now. Flights homeward mostly depart in the evening/night and arrive the next day.

You usually arrive in the morning or early afternoon.
