Detailed Itinerary
Day 1: Fly to the Masai Mara and have an afternoon game drive
You will begin the safari with an early morning transfer from a hotel in Nairobi to Wilson Airport; the drive will take about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on location. Upon arrival, you will board a flight to the Masai Mara. The flight takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Upon arrival at the airstrip in the Masai Mara, you will be warmly welcomed by a Kenyan safari guide and then transferred to your lodge. The transfer drive will take about 20 to 40 minutes, and you may spot giraffes, elephants or antelopes as you head to the lodge.
You will arrive at the lodge in time for lunch, and after having lunch, you will rest for a while. In the afternoon, you will head out for an afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara. You may encounter lions resting under trees, elephants moving in groups or cheetahs scanning the plains for prey and many more wildlife species. In the evening, you will return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 2: Full-day game drive in the Masai Mara
After an early morning breakfast, you will head out of the lodge for a full day of game drives in the Masai Mara. The Masai Mara is home to the Big Five, namely the lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros, as well as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and numerous bird species. Depending on your preference, you may enjoy a full day game drive with a picnic lunch in the bush or return to the lodge for lunch and head out again in the afternoon.
Between game drives, there is time to relax at the lodge, enjoy views over the plains or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. In the evening, you will return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 3: Morning game drive and fly back to Nairobi
You will start your final day with an early morning breakfast and then head out for a morning game drive, one of the best times to spot predators such as lions and leopards as they finish their hunting or begin to rest. After the game drive, you return to the lodge and check out. You will then be transferred back to the airstrip, a drive of about 20 to 40 minutes, with final wildlife sightings along the way.
Your return flight to Nairobi will depart around mid-morning and take approximately 45 to 60 minutes to arrive at Wilson Airport. Upon arrival, you will be transferred to a hotel or your onwards destination, marking the end of the 3 days Masai Mara fly-in safari.
