Highlights of this Tour
Itinerary and Where to Stay
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara
You’ll head out from Nairobi in the morning, making your way toward the Rift Valley. After a bit of driving, you’ll stop at a spot to look over the valley floor and then keep going toward Narok. This is the main town in the area, so you’ll stop here for a break before the road turns into a dirt track for the rest of the way to the park. You’ll reach Mara Sopa Lodge by lunchtime and get settled into your room. The lodge is known for its round, stone cottages that are spread out across the grounds. After eating, you’ll head out for your first game drive in the afternoon. Since the lodge is near the hills, you’ll spend your time looking for lions and other wildlife that stay in this part of the park. You’ll get back to the lodge in the evening for dinner and some rest.

Mid-RangeDay 2: Full Day Game Drive in Masai Mara
The second day is for spending as much time as possible in the reserve. You’ll want to get going early in the morning to see the animals while it’s still cool and they are more active. You’ll spend the day exploring the different parts of the park, from the hilly areas down to the flatter grasslands where you might find cheetahs or elephants. You can take a breakfast box with you to eat out in the bush or head back to the lodge if you prefer. During the hottest part of the day, you’ll head back to Sopa to relax or sit by the pool while the animals take cover in the shade. In the late afternoon, you’ll go back out for another drive to see what else you can find before the sun goes down. If you want to see how the local community lives, you can also stop by a Maasai village near the lodge to learn about their traditions and how they tend to their livestock. You’ll end the day with dinner at the lodge.

Mid-RangeDay 3: Final Game Drive & Return to Nairobi
On the last morning, you will have a relaxed breakfast at the lodge. After you’ve finished eating and packed your bags, you’ll check out and start the long drive back toward Nairobi. You’ll follow the same dirt road out of the park and pass back through Narok town, where you’ll stop for lunch and a quick break. As you drive back up the hills toward the city, the air will get a bit cooler. You’ll arrive back in Nairobi in the late afternoon, where your guide will drop you off at your hotel or the airport to catch your flight home.
