Day 4: Full day in Masai Mara
You will spend next two days in Masai Mara. You can choose any plan from below:
Plan A: Embark on a full-day game drive starting at 6 AM, with packed breakfast and picnic lunch in Masai Mara. Explore deeper into the reserve for wildlife tracking the wildebeests herds, visit the Mara River, and watch hippos and crocodiles basking. Return to the lodge or camp by 6 PM for dinner and overnight stay.
Full-day game drives in the Masai Mara are key to witnessing the wildebeest river crossings, which are unpredictable and require patience. Staying out all day boosts your chances of catching this rare and dramatic event.
Plan B: Start with a sunrise game drive at 6 AM to observe predators in action. Enjoy a bush breakfast around 9 AM with stunning views. Return for lunch at 12 PM and relax until 3 PM. In the afternoon, head out for an evening drive to spot more wildlife. Return to the lodge or camp by 6:30 PM for dinner and overnight.
Some travellers prefer two shorter game drives—morning and afternoon—when wildlife is most active and temperatures are cooler. This also allows for a relaxing midday break at the lodge, ideal for families or a slower pace.
Optional Extra: After an early breakfast at the lodge, visit the Rhino Sanctuary for a unique guided walking experience with Rhinos, adjusted with plan A.
Day 5: Masai Mara to Nairobi
After having breakfast at your lodge or camp, visit a traditional Maasai village to immerse in their vibrant culture, learn about their customs, and witness a captivating Maasai dance. Experience the unique lifestyle, traditional attire, and rituals that define Maasai heritage.
Later, take your flight back to Nairobi Wilson Airport.
