4-Day Masai Mara Hot Air Balloon Safari

Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

Travel Time: 5-6 Hour Drive

Meals: Lunch & Dinner

Your safari adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your Nairobi hotel or the airport. Board your comfortable safari vehicle and set off for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The journey takes you through the Great Rift Valley, offering breathtaking views of the vast landscape. Your driver-guide will make stops at scenic viewpoints, allowing you to stretch your legs and capture photos of the dramatic escarpments and valleys.

As you approach the Masai Mara, the landscape transforms into rolling grasslands dotted with acacia trees - the classic East African savanna. Arrive at Mara Serena Safari Lodge in time for lunch, where you'll be welcomed with a refreshing drink and a brief orientation. After settling into your accommodations, enjoy a delicious lunch featuring both international and local cuisines.

In the late afternoon, embark on your first game drive in the Masai Mara. As the day cools, animals become more active, increasing your chances of exciting sightings. Keep your eyes peeled for lions lounging in the grass, herds of elephants moving majestically across the savanna, or perhaps a leopard hiding in an acacia tree. As the sun begins to set, enjoy sundowner drinks at a picturesque spot in the bush before returning to the lodge for a gourmet dinner under the stars.
