Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve
Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport by your Albertine Tours safari guide. Depart Nairobi and travel through the breathtaking Great Rift Valley, stopping at one of the panoramic viewpoints to admire the dramatic escarpment and capture memorable photographs. Continue through Kenya’s scenic countryside, passing traditional villages and rolling hills before arriving at your safari lodge in time for lunch. After a short rest, head out on your first afternoon game drive across the famous Maasai Mara. You will begin searching for elephants, lions, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, hyenas and numerous antelope species while enjoying the spectacular scenery that has made this reserve one of the world’s leading safari destinations. Return to your lodge during the evening for dinner and relaxation.

Day 2: Full Day in Maasai Mara National Reserve
Spend the entire day exploring the extraordinary landscapes and abundant wildlife of the Maasai Mara National Reserve with morning and afternoon game drives. The reserve offers exceptional opportunities to encounter the Big Five while observing countless other mammals and over 450 recorded bird species. Your experienced guide will take you to different areas of the reserve where wildlife activity is at its highest, ensuring every game drive offers something unique. If you visit during the Great Migration season, you may witness enormous herds of wildebeests and zebras crossing the plains or attempting dramatic river crossings while predators remain close by.
