Masai Mara Cultural Safari Experience
New
Kick off in Nairobi and finish back in Nairobi on this four day safari through the Masai Mara. You’ll travel across acacia dotted plains to one of Africa’s top wildlife arenas – expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebra and, in season, the wildebeest migration. Full days in the reserve mean unhurried game drives, sunsets and superb birding – look for colourful bee eaters. Between sightings you’ll soak up sweeping savannah views and relax at your lodge. On the return, visit a women’s empowerment centre at Sekenani – try your hand at beadwork, browse a museum and hear inspiring community stories.

Day 1 - Nairobi to the Masai Mara
Nairobi - Masai Mara. We collect you from your Nairobi hotel between 07:00 and 08:00, then drive this morning to the Masai Mara National Reserve – the Kenyan extension of the Serengeti ecosystem and one of the country’s most renowned wildlife areas, spanning around 700 square miles of acacia–dotted plains and hills.

Lions are common across the reserve, as are elephants, giraffes, zebra and several species of gazelle. Cheetah and leopard are frequently seen, while rhino are more elusive.
From July to September the annual wildebeest migration moves through the Mara – during this period both the herds and their predators gather in high numbers.
