Highlights

Nairobi to Masai Mara National Park (5 – 6hrsc Drive)

Maasai Mara National Reserve - 5:00 am. Your driver/guide will pick you up at the location of your choice for the drive to the park.
Take in the African dawn as the surrounding fields come alive. We’ll pause in our travels for a breakfast break in the town of Narok.
Moving on, we’ll pass homesteads and perhaps some Maasai herdsmen along the way, wrapped in their bright-colored shukas. Expect to arrive at the park around 10:30 am.
Take in the park’s vast expanse, with its rolling hills and savannahs. This is one of the richest eco-systems in the world, holding an amazing variety of wildlife.
Your days here will be filled with game drives, tracking the big cats plus elephant, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, and plenty more – over 95 mammals make their home here.
Lunch will be picnic style down at the Mara River. This is where innumerable herds cross during the season of the Great Migration.
After more afternoon game drives, you’ll freshen up at your Safari lodge, then enjoy dinner and the evening’s activities.

Masai Mara

Maasai Mara National Reserve - After a leisurely breakfast at your lodge/camp, your dedicated driver guide will assist you with the checkout process and proceed to Nairobi – Kenya’s colorful capital city.

On the way, your guide will point out the Longonot extinct volcano which is a strato volcano located southeast of Lake Naivasha in the Great Rift Valley of Kenya. It is thought to have last erupted in the 1860s and its name is derived from the Maasai word Oloonong’ot, meaning “mountains of many spurs” or “steep ridges “. You can opt to drive via Naivasha for lunch/excursions at an extra cost or drive straight to Nairobi and pass by Kiambethu farm for the tea farm tour inclusive of a three-course buffet lunch (at an extra cost) OR drive straight back to the capital and later transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International airport for your back home.

One of the most memorable experiences in my lifetime - Far more awesome than expected. Easy to arrange and pay for the tour. Mary from Africa Kenya Safaris was wonderful. Vehicle well equipped and clean. Jagero our guide was attentive to our needs, drove the difficult roads and traffic expertly. On safari he located so many different groups of animals and spent appropriate time with them Gave great photo opportunities. Meals were well catered. Our overnite accommodation and meals was mindblowing and memorable.

Great experience as a solo female traveller - I am very well-travelled (over 100 countries, former travel writer) and I normally resist pressure to publish reviews on this forum. However, especially when it is hard to select a safari from the copious choice, I had such a positive experience with this company. Charles, the guide, was absolutely excellent - punctual, well-informed, flexible and intuitive. I am used to travelling alone (as well as with husband and three children), but as a lone female traveller on very long and isolated journeys, he made me feel completely safe and well-cared for. The safari experience itself, and the lodge where I stayed overnight, was indelible - beautiful, spiritual and wonderful. I would not hesitate to use this company again if I came back with my family which is the highest compliment I can pay. I also did the one day tour around Nairobi - Blixen Museum, elephant orphanage, giraffe sanctuary - which was just as good if not better - marvellous.

Unforgettable Experience - This was an incredible trip! Africa Kenya Safari was incredibly responsive and helped us plan the most beautiful safari I could have imagined. I was nervous with only having 2 days but they helped to make it work and we were able to see everything we wanted! We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi and had an incredible stay at the Sarova Mara in the Masai Mara. Our driver and safari guide was incredible and went out of his way to make sure we had an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend even if you have a short time frame like we did!

EXCELLENT SERVICE & EXPERIENCE - First what made our trip amazing was our tour guide Abu. He was so knowledgeable, accommodating and kind. The trip was far beyond my expectations. I was on a business trip and only had 2 personal days and choosing this tour was the best choice I could have made! The booking agent was so responsive, the safari truck was comfortable and roomy, the hotel I selected was awesome. And the beauty of the safari is an experience I will never forget!!!!

Amazing experience - just do it! - So glad I chose to go with Africa Kenya Safaris. I was in Nairobi for business, with limited but open time to explore. I did the 2 day Safari and I’m so glad I did! Chris was an amazing guide, from pick up to drop off. I was shocked we saw so many animals from lion to zebra to giraffe to rhino! He was on the radio with other guides getting the 411 on best places to check out, and it paid off! The hotel selected was great, very comfortable, kind staff, beautiful views, and good food. I only wish I’d had more time! If and when I return, I’ll ask for Chris!
