HighlightsScenic drive through the Great Rift Valley; afternoon game drive in Maasai Mara National Reserve

Your 3-day Maasai Mara group joining safari begins in Nairobi, where you'll meet your fellow travellers at City Market before setting off in a shared 4×4 safari Land Cruiser.

Travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley, stopping at a viewpoint to admire the sweeping landscapes and take photographs. Continue towards the Maasai Mara, passing through Kenya's countryside and small towns along the way.

Arrive at Flair Camp for lunch and a short rest before heading into the Maasai Mara National Reserve for your first afternoon game drive. Keep your eyes open for elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions and other wildlife roaming the savannah.

As the sun begins to set, return to camp for dinner and a relaxing evening surrounded by nature.

Day 2Full-Day Game Drive in Maasai MaraMaasai Mara National Reserve

HighlightsDawn and dusk game drives across the Mara's golden plains; search for the Big Five and witness the Great Migration river crossings (seasonal); picnic lunch in the bush; optional Maasai village visit.

Rise before dawn for a full day of wildlife viewing in the Maasai Mara. As the sun lifts over the savannah, set out in the shared 4x4 Land Cruiser with your driver-guide, who knows the reserve’s winding tracks and secret corners. The morning hours are often the most rewarding: lion prides laze in the long grass, cheetahs scan the plains from termite mounds, and elephants move in slow, deliberate lines toward water. You’ll break for a picnic lunch beneath an acacia or by the Mara River, where hippos grunt and crocodiles sun themselves on sandbanks. In the afternoon, continue the search for the Big Five and, if travelling between July and October, witness the thunderous crossings of the wildebeest migration. Return to camp at dusk with the sounds of the African night beginning to stir.

The Maasai Mara National Reserve is known for its remarkable wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and numerous antelope species. Leopards and rhinos are also present but can be harder to spot. Your driver-guide will help you search for wildlife throughout the game drives, although sightings are never guaranteed.

When is the best time to book a Maasai Mara group joining safari?

The Maasai Mara is a rewarding safari destination throughout the year.
