On arrival, transfer to the excellent Sarova Panafric hotel in Nairobi. With its extensive gardens and inviting swimming pool, it’s a great place to relax before embarking on your safari adventure.
This morning you’ll be collected from your hotel for the short drive to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, for your 50 minute scenic flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve. The aircraft are typically 12 to 20 seaters, affording stunning views of the expansive plains of the Great Rift Valley below.
From your chosen safari lodge and home for the next two nights, you will enjoy morning and afternoon game drives into the Masai Mara to seek out the stunning variety of wildlife the reserve is famous for, including elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, black and white rhino, baboon, giraffe, buffalo, antelope and more.
Morning game drives set out at dawn (after a hot drink) to catch the animals before the heat of the day sets in. Afternoon games drives leave after the midday sun has passed, returning to the lodge as the sun sets over the savannah.
All meals are included whilst on safari.
