There's a good reason the 3-day safari to the Maasai Mara is our most popular itinerary: by focusing on the main reserve, we avoid the fatigue of long trips with many stops and increase the time you spend in the field. If your aim is to see the spectacular Great Migration or to witness the peaceful grandeur of the resident big cats, this compact journey gives you unmatched access to one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. The arrangements are simplified so you can focus on the horizon and look forward to that next life-changing encounter in the wild.

Your Safari Schedule
Day 1
The journey starts early when we leave Nairobi and drive southward through the spectacular Great Rift Valley. On this drive you get the chance to see the dramatic changes in the landscape before we reach the entrance to the reserve by mid-afternoon. Once you have settled at your lodge or camp, why not take a game drive in the late afternoon? This will be your first opportunity to search the grasslands for lions, elephants and leopards as the sun shines a golden colour over the plains.
Lunch, Dinner
Day 2
This will be the highlight of your three-day Maasai Mara safari. Since one full day is allocated to the reserve, we go deep into the heart of the Mara. To avoid the midday heat, we plan our journey so that you are in the best position when the wildlife is most active. Whether it's the rolling savannahs or the riverbanks where crocodiles are waiting, you'll get a real sense of the extent of the ecosystem. We pack a picnic lunch so we can stay in the field and enjoy unique wildlife sightings.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
