Expert guides will lead you on thrilling game drives, sharing their encyclopedic knowledge of the land and its inhabitants.

Your safari adventure begins early in the morning as we depart Nairobi, heading west towards the legendary Masai Mara. The drive itself is a feast for the eyes, as you watch the landscape transform from bustling city to rural farmland and finally to the open savannah. We'll arrive at our camp in time for lunch, giving you a chance to settle in and soak up the atmosphere.
In the afternoon, we'll set out on our first game drive, venturing into the heart of the Mara ecosystem. Keep your eyes peeled for some of Africa's most iconic animals – perhaps a pride of lions lounging in the grass or a tower of giraffes browsing acacia trees. As the day draws to a close, we'll find a scenic spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. We'll return to the camp for dinner and a chance to share stories of the day's sightings around the campfire.

Wake up to the sounds of the bush coming alive and prepare for a full day of exploration in the Masai Mara.

Today's game drives will take us deeper into the reserve, where we'll search for the "Big Five" – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.
Between morning and afternoon game drives, we'll return to the camp for lunch and a bit of relaxation. You might choose to cool off in the pool, indulge in a massage, or simply watch wildlife from the comfort of your private tent. In the late afternoon, we'll venture out again, this time focusing on some of the Mara's smaller inhabitants. As night falls, we'll return to the camp for dinner under the star-studded African sky.

As the day winds down, we'll find a perfect spot to watch the sunset over the lake before returning to our lodge for dinner.
