Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve
Scenic Drive Through the Rift Valley
Your safari adventure begins in Nairobi, where our professional driver-guide will meet you at your hotel or place of residence. From here, you will embark on a scenic road trip toward the Masai Mara, a journey of approximately five hours. Along the way, we will make a stop at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint, where you can step out, stretch, and marvel at one of the world’s most remarkable geological features. The sweeping views are perfect for photography and an introduction to Kenya’s diverse landscapes.
Arrival at the Lodge
Upon arrival in Masai Mara, you will check in at your luxury tented camp in time for a hearty lunch. Each camp we use is carefully selected for its comfort, exclusivity, and proximity to wildlife action. The afternoon will be yours to relax, soak in the ambience of the African bush, and prepare for your first thrilling game drive.
Afternoon Game Drive
At around 4:00 PM, you will set off on your first game drive inside Masai Mara National Reserve. The Mara is famous for its large predator population, so you may encounter prides of lions lazing in the sun, cheetahs scanning the horizon for prey, or leopards gracefully draped over acacia trees. Elephants, buffaloes, and giraffes roam freely, while the plains echo with the calls of zebras and wildebeests.
As the sun sets over the savannah, the sky transforms into hues of orange and gold, creating the perfect backdrop for your return to the lodge. Later, enjoy a delicious dinner and an overnight stay in the luxury of your tented camp.

Day 2: Full-Day Safari Experience in Masai Mara
Morning Game Drive
On your second day, rise early for a morning game drive starting at 6:15 AM. The early hours are the most active for wildlife, as predators hunt before the sun climbs too high. Watch lions on the move, hyenas scavenging, or perhaps even a cheetah sprinting across the plains. Birdwatchers will also delight in spotting a variety of species, from secretary birds to lilac-breasted rollers.
Return to camp by 9:00 AM for a hearty breakfast, followed by some leisure time to relax. You may choose to unwind at your private veranda, soak in the natural beauty, or enjoy the camp’s amenities.
Afternoon Game Drive
After lunch, at around 3:30 PM, set out for another game drive. This is the golden time when animals gather around waterholes, and the Mara plains come alive once again. With luck, you may spot the elusive leopard or witness elephants with their calves strolling gracefully.
Option for a Full-Day Game Drive
If you prefer, you may choose a full-day game drive instead, complete with a packed picnic lunch. This allows you to venture deeper into the reserve, maximizing your chances of witnessing extraordinary wildlife moments such as the wildebeest crossing the Mara River or lions on the hunt.
The flexibility of this luxury safari means your game drives are entirely private and can be tailored to your personal preferences—perfect for families with children, couples on honeymoon, or wildlife enthusiasts eager for specific sightings.
Evening at Entim Mara Camp
Return to Entim Mara Camp, where you will enjoy a sumptuous dinner followed by relaxation under the African night sky. With only nine luxury tents, Entim offers exclusivity and intimacy, ensuring your stay is both serene and unforgettable. Fall asleep to the distant calls of hyenas and the rustling sounds of the Mara bush.

After check-out at 8:30 AM, you will begin your return journey to Nairobi. According to park regulations, all visitors must exit the reserve by 10:00 AM. The drive back offers one last chance to admire the landscapes and perhaps spot wildlife along the way.
