What to expect
Day 1: NAIROBI – MASAI MARA (Appx: 265kms- 5 hrs)
Stop At: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Rift Valley Province
The land will get increasingly dramatic as we enter the Great Rift Valley escarpment. We’ll make stops along the way to refresh and view the impressive features of the escarpment.
Then we’ll head down to the valley floor, exploring the scenic features through Masai country, perhaps getting glimpses of the colorful herdsman along the way as we approach the reserve.
We should arrive at the Masai Mara at about lunchtime, which we’ll enjoy at our chosen accommodation.
Then, get ready for the awesome expanse and stirring wildlife populations of the great reserve. This is one of the world’s great eco-systems and unparalleled for its diversity of wildlife. Hunters and grazers, both large and small fill the sweeping hills and savannahs of the beautiful park.
Your first game drive will be an introduction to the numbers and variety of wildlife you’ll experience during your three days in the park.
Duration: 5 hours
Meals included:
•
•
Accommodation included: You’ll spend the first of two nights in the park at your choice of safari lodge or tented camp.
Day 2: FULL DAY – MASAI MARA
Stop At: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Rift Valley Province
We’ll be up early to view the park’s abundant wildlife, said to the densest of any park in the region. This will be a day of unlimited game drives over the golden fields and past the distinctive acacia trees adorning these plains.
Be on the lookout for Africa’s Big Five – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. The birdlife is also abundant, and should you be here during the season of the Great Migration (July – October), prepare yourself to witness the largest movement of animals on the planet.
Primarily made up of wildebeest and zebra, the migrating animals cross into the park by the thousands at the Mara River, also the site of hippos and waiting crocodiles. The potential drama here is inescapable as the streaming herds enter these lands for fresh grasses as the predators lie in wait.
Adding more richness to your Masai Mara experience, you can enjoy an optional visit to one of the local villages. There, you’ll meet the Maasai and see their lifestyle up close.
Another optional event is an early morning hot air balloon ride over the reserve. Take in the park below coming to life as the fields light up and the wildlife begin a new day on the savannah. A magnificent experience – just ask your driver/guide to set up either or both activities.
Duration: 6 hours
Meals included:

Accommodation included: We’ll spend our second night in the park at your choice of accommodation.
Day 3: MASAI MARA – NAIROBI (265 kms – 5 hrs)
Stop At: Maasai Mara National Reserve, Maasai Mara National Reserve, Rift Valley Province
Our last safari day – let’s make the most of it with an early rise and game drive. By now you should be checking off your list of animal sightings but there’s always time for more.
We should arrive back in Nairobi in the late afternoon and will bring you to your hotel, residence or the airport.
You may also continue to the Kenya coast at Mombasa or perhaps to the island of Zanzibar.
We hope you soaked up plenty of Africa’s wildlife sightings on this busy tour. It’s been our pleasure to have you as our guest and from all of us at Natural World Kenya Safaris, a big thanks!
You’re sure to have seen zebra and gazelle but keep an eye out for cheetah moving through the bush, plus jackal and hyena.
We’ll enjoy one last game drive as we exit the park on our way back to Nairobi.
A stop for lunch will break up the drive back to town.

What an amazing trip. I will recommend the tour company in a heart beat. From reservations, the drive and the camp, commendable. Kudos to Pamela and Jonas. Amazing people who took care of us from beginning to the end and a big thank you to Pamela for checking on us the whole trip. As For Jonas, wonderful, respectable and an amazing driver with lots of experience. Finally the camp ‘Orngatuny Mara King Camp” couldn’t ask for a better, serene and the views of the Mara plains and the staff were amazing all through our stay (customer service….a big 5stars) Kudos to all.From starting to organize this tour (with a billion of questions) to finally doing it was a super smooth process.

From starting to organize this tour (with a billion of questions) to finally doing it was a super smooth process. The tour operator, driver/ guide and the staff of Ashnil Mara were super friendly! Ashni Mara was our chosen lodge, which we can recommend too. Besides we were quite lucky and saw a lot of animals during our stay e.g. lions, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas and so on. We can definitely recommend this tour in april with less vehicles around the animals as well as on the luxury level, because it gives you much more time inside the park. Thanks again!Natural world Kenya is a very professional and easy to work with company. Esther helped arrange our trip and answered all questions. She was always prompt in replying to email.

Natural world Kenya is a very professional and easy to work with company. Esther helped arrange our trip and answered all questions. She was always prompt in replying to email. Our drivers, Michael and Francis, were extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and made the tours more interesting and enjoyable. They were also just good people to spend time with and to talk to. We had such a good time on our 3 day adventure. I’d highly recommend this outfit to anybody interested in a safari in Kenya.We had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Communication with the company was great, our driver was very polite and tried his best to find the big 5 for us (apart from the rhino, we saw all and many more animals at very close range). We can highly recommend this company to anyone!

Had a magic trip with Son. The guide Sisto Kimunge was amazing. He had many tricks, anecdotes and stories to tell that rendered our trip so much fun. Steve and even owner of the agency Humphrey checked on us. Impeccable tour & service! The national reserve was great and luckily we saw everyday and often even twice: prides of lions, parades of elephants, towers of giraffes, a cackle of hyenas, thunder of hippos, herds of antelopes, a troop of baboons and so on. The landscape was mind blowing. Two comments: the masai vendors of beaded and leather handicraft at the entrance of the park were a bit too pushy. Another the toilet in the airstrip inside the reserve can be far better maintained and cleaned. But other than that a great national reserve! Enkorok Mara Camp was also nice. Food, service, pool and accommodation nice. We had an issue with the water facilities. Insufficient or none at all but that goes with safaris I guess. Overall great tour!We did the drive to Olpejeta with overnight stay, fly to Masai Mara with 3 nights stay, fly back to Nairobi with a driver for the day for shopping and dining, and finally the full day Nairobi National Park + City Tour all organized through this amazing company.

We did the drive to Olpejeta with overnight stay, fly to Masai Mara with 3 nights stay, fly back to Nairobi with a driver for the day for shopping and dining, and finally the full day Nairobi National Park + City Tour all organized through this amazing company. Faith was wonderful to work with and took care of all the planning and executing of our weeklong experience. She answered all our questions with a quick turnaround time even with our 7 hour time difference while planning the trip. She kept up with us throughout our trip in Kenya making sure we had everything we needed. Joseph was an excellent guide in Olpejeta and Nairobi. He was highly knowledgeable and very friendly. He took care of everything even finding a place that would print our Covid results for our flight after the tour. He spotted lots of game for us and drove us around expertly. John was wonderful for us for our 3 nights 4 day safari in Masai Mara. Very jovial and knowledgeable about the area and animals. I’m amazed at how well he navigated the vast Masai Mara each day! He was the first of several jeeps that were out one of the days to spot the famous “3 Musketeers” 3 cheetahs resting under a tree!!! Everyone else drove right past them to see some lions (which we saw as well), but John spotted the gorgeous cheetahs en route. Humphrey was such a sweet and excellent driver for us for getting around in Nairobi. He got us to all our destinations timely and safely, and he was very pleasant. Without a doubt, choose this company for your tour needs!!
