Trip Overview
One Reserve, Endless Plains
This four-day route is built around the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of Kenya’s best places to look for wildlife. The wildlife here is incredible, with big cats (lions, leopards and cheetahs) and elephants among the highlights, not to mention black rhinos in the Mara Triangle. There’s a very good chance you’ll also see giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, hyenas and impalas.
More than 500 species of birds have been recorded in the reserve, and it’s a place of beautiful savannah landscapes with lots of acacia trees. The journey begins with a road transfer from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, followed by three nights at Tipilikwani Mara Camp alongside the Talek River. Every game drive, meal and park fee is arranged before you land.
