From Nairobi: Masai Mara 2-Day Safari with 1-Night Stay and Meals

Explore Masai Mara on a 2-day guided safari with lodge stay, round-trip 4x4 transport, and scheduled game drives from Nairobi.

Getting started

Begin with door-to-door Nairobi hotel or airport transfers as your expert English-speaking guide picks you up. Settle into your 4x4 pop-up roof vehicle and leave the city behind as you travel toward the Masai Mara reserve. The journey includes a direct drive toward the Great Rift Valley region, where your 2-day Masai Mara Express Safari unfolds.

What to expect

Great Rift Valley viewpoint

Your first major stop is the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, a classic pause on the route between Nairobi and Masai Mara.

Features

• This visit to the Great Rift Valley viewpoint gives you time to step out, look over the far-reaching escarpment, and take photo opportunities of the valley landscape.
• Transport here and onward to Masai Mara is covered by your round-trip transfers in a 4x4 pop-up roof vehicle, with bottled water available so you stay refreshed on the way.

Masai Mara reserve

Arriving at the Masai Mara reserve, you enter one of Kenya's highly rated wildlife areas, famous for its vast plains and concentration of animals.

Features

• Your visit to Masai Mara reserve includes all Masai Mara reserve entrance fees, so you head straight in and focus on the experience instead of on-site payments.
• Multiple safari sessions are built in, with an afternoon game drive on Day 1 and a sunrise game drive on Day 2 that increase your chances of seeing the Big Five: lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.
• An expert English-speaking guide leads your game drives, using the 4x4 vehicle’s pop-up roof for wide viewing over the sweeping plains teeming with wildlife.
• During the drives, complimentary bottled water is provided, and you can optionally add experiences such as a Hot Air Balloon Safari or a visit to a Maasai Cultural Village at your own cost.

Lodge or tented camp stay

Your overnight base sits in or near the Masai Mara reserve, giving you quick access to early and late safari times.

Features

• The one-night lodge or tented camp stay includes a full meal plan, with all meals provided so you can focus on the game drives instead of planning where to eat.
• Between the afternoon and sunrise game drives, you have time at the property to rest, review photos, and prepare for the early start on Day 2.
• Your professional driver-guide handles logistics from arrival to departure, coordinating timings so you return comfortably to Nairobi at the end of your 2-day Masai Mara Express Safari.

Wrapping up

After your final sunrise game drive and breakfast, you check out of your lodge or tented camp and depart Masai Mara. Your driver returns you to Nairobi with the same door-to-door Nairobi hotel or airport transfers used at the start, bringing your round-trip journey to a close.
