This 3-day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi gets you out of your comfort zone and takes you into the heart of Africa’s most iconic wilderness for the most jaw-gnashing experience in the shortest possible time.
During your 3 day Masai Mara safari, you can expect to encounter the open plains lit by golden sun, lion prides resting in the shade, and herds of elephants making their slow, graceful journey across the savannah. It’s fast, focused, and full of endless list of wild encounters

Your journey begins early in Nairobi. After a quick briefing, you’ll hit the road — past the escarpments of the Great Rift Valley and into Maasai land.
The terrain shifts with every hour. Towns thin out and immediately after the plains stretch wide, you arrive at the incredible Masai Mara gate. If you are lucky, the Zebras might beat you to the reserve gate.
By late afternoon, you’ll be in the thick of it — camera ready, windows down. Lions nap on termite mounds, giraffes chew slowly near the horizon, and elephants trudge with purpose. This first game drive sets the tone but, this isn’t it all.

Today is all about chasing moments. You’ll set out with breakfast packed, aiming to catch the Mara as it wakes. Lions yawn. Hyenas skulk back from the night shift. If it’s migration season (July–October), you might find the Mara River churning with hooves and crocodile jaws.
Lunch is served picnic-style out in the bush and immediately after that, you return for an afternoon wild encounter as you embark on further natural encounter, trail as many game as possible, see the sun leans low, painting wildebeest herds gold and the sky purple.
Your guide knows where to look and when to pause — because sometimes, silence is what brings the leopard out.
