Tour Plan
Your journey begins with a scenic drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara. Arrive in time for lunch at the Mara Serena Safari Lodge, one of the park’s most stunningly located properties. After settling in, you'll head out on your first game drive, where you may spot elephants, giraffes, gazelles, and the famous big cats. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight stay.

Expect to see large herds of herbivores, predators in action, and possibly the seasonal wildebeest migration, depending on travel dates. The reserve is also home to the Maasai people, often seen near the park with their livestock and rich cultural traditions.
After breakfast, you’ll check out and enjoy a scenic drive back to Nairobi. Depending on your departure time, you can opt for lunch or additional leisure activities in the city before your airport drop-off.
