Maasai Mara Safari

Nairobi → Great Rift Valley → Maasai Mara

The Maasai Mara needs no introduction — it is the quintessential African safari. This five-day journey takes you deep into the heart of Kenya's most celebrated wildlife reserve, where golden savannah stretches to every horizon and the density of big cats is unmatched anywhere on Earth.

Your expert Maasai guide reads the plains like a book, tracking lion prides, cheetah hunts, and the great herds of wildebeest and zebra. Between game drives, you'll visit a traditional Maasai manyatta and have the option of a sunrise hot air balloon flight over the reserve.
