Tour Plan
Your Kenya Tours and Safari begins on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, where you are warmly welcomed by a professional representative. After meeting your driver, you are transferred to your hotel for check-in and relaxation after your flight. This first day is designed to help you settle in comfortably before the safari adventure begins.
Depending on your arrival time, you may rest at the hotel, enjoy dinner, or simply prepare for the exciting journey ahead. Nairobi serves as the gateway to Kenya’s great wildlife destinations, and this overnight stay gives you a smooth start to your Kenya Tours and Safari experience.
Accommodation: Limpopo Hotel and Suites
After breakfast, your Kenya Tours and Safari officially moves into the wilderness as you depart Nairobi for the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve. The drive takes you through the Great Rift Valley, where you stop at a scenic viewpoint for photographs, before continuing via Narok town toward the reserve. Along the way, you begin to see the changing landscapes and cultural richness of Maasai country.
Arriving in time for lunch at Explore Nature Mara Lodge, you check in and later head out for your first afternoon game drive. The Masai Mara is home to the Big Five and an incredible variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, cheetahs, leopards, and many bird species. As the sun sets over the plains, you return to the lodge for dinner and overnight in one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations.

Today is dedicated to a full day of wildlife viewing in the Masai Mara, one of the greatest highlights of your Kenya Tours and Safari. After an early breakfast or morning tea, you set out for a sunrise or full-day game drive with packed lunch. The early hours are excellent for spotting predators such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas as they move across the savannah.
Throughout the day, you explore different parts of the reserve, with chances to see elephants, buffalo, giraffes, gazelles, hippos, crocodiles, and many more species. During migration season, the Mara becomes even more dramatic as wildebeests and zebras cross from the Serengeti in huge numbers.
