Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara – Scenic Drive & Sunset Safari
Your journey begins bright and early with a hotel or airport pick-up in Nairobi. As we depart the city, the urban landscape melts into the countryside—a tapestry of small farms, traditional huts, and wide-open spaces.
The Great Rift Valley Viewpoint
Our first major stop is the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint. This is one of the most stunning geological landmarks in East Africa, offering panoramic views of the escarpment and the valley floor below. It’s the perfect place to stretch your legs, grab some photos, and begin your journey into the wild.
Arrival at Maasai Mara
After passing through the lush highlands and rural townships, we arrive at Sekenani Gate, the main entrance to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. You’ll check in to your safari camp inside Maasai Mara, where you’ll enjoy a hearty Kenyan lunch and settle into your comfortable accommodations—typically en-suite safari tents or lodges that blend luxury and wilderness perfectly.
Afternoon Game Drive with Africa Moja Tours
In the late afternoon, our expert safari guide will take you on your first game drive in Maasai Mara. This is when the savannah begins to stir—lions prowl the grasslands, elephants gather in herds, and giraffes amble gracefully between acacia trees.
The golden hour light makes for incredible photography, and our guides are trained to track animal behavior for the best possible sightings. By sunset, you’ll already have a deep appreciation for why this reserve is considered one of the greatest wildlife havens in the world.
Overnight Stay: Safari camp or lodge inside Maasai Mara National Reserve
Day 2: Full Day of Game Drives – Wildlife in All Its Glory
Start your day early with a hot breakfast and get ready for back-to-back safari adventures with Africa Moja Tours. This is your full day to explore the vast, game-rich plains of Maasai Mara.
Morning Game Drive
The early hours are prime time for wildlife viewing. As the savannah awakens, you’ll likely see predators finishing off a nighttime hunt and herbivores like zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest moving in groups. You may even be lucky enough to catch a cheetah sprint—a thrilling, high-speed chase that leaves everyone breathless.
Our safari vehicles are specially designed for comfort, visibility, and safety, and our guides use both their local expertise and radio coordination with other rangers to ensure optimal sightings throughout your drive.
Back to Camp for Lunch
After several hours in the bush, return to your safari camp inside Maasai Mara for lunch and a bit of rest. Relax on the deck, journal your experiences, or swap stories with fellow travelers before the second adventure of the day.
Afternoon Game Drive
In the cooler hours of the afternoon, wildlife becomes more active again. You’ll visit new areas of the reserve and possibly witness different species or behaviors—elephants bathing in muddy waterholes, cubs playing under their mother’s watchful eye, or a leopard stealthily stalking from a distance.
This is where the knowledge and instinct of Africa Moja’s guides truly shine, giving you access to some of the most intimate and awe-inspiring wildlife moments on the planet.
Overnight Stay: Safari camp or lodge inside Maasai Mara
Day 3: Sunrise Safari & Journey Back to Nairobi
The final morning is bittersweet, but unforgettable. Wake up before dawn for one last sunrise game drive in Maasai Mara. The landscape is bathed in a golden glow, and the animals are once again active in the crisp morning air.
Final Game Drive
This is your last chance to tick off any missed sightings—perhaps a shy rhino, a group of hippos in the river, or even the rare Serval cat. The silence and serenity of the early morning, interrupted only by bird calls and distant roars, will leave a lasting impression on your heart.
Breakfast and Departure
After your game drive, return to camp for breakfast. Then, begin your drive back from Maasai Mara to Nairobi, passing again through scenic villages, tea plantations, and the Rift Valley floor.
Expect to arrive back in the city by late afternoon—tired, fulfilled, and full of stories to share.
