3-Day Masai Mara Safari from the Coast

Africa’s most accessible safari destination, Kenya is the only place in the world where you can go on safari right outside of the capital! Home to the world-famous Maasai Mara and Wildebeest Migration, Kenya is an ideal place for a family safari. Kenya’s relatively compact safari route makes it possible to experience much of what the country has to offer in a relatively short time, with safari packages ranging in length from day trips to five-day adventures to extended explorations. While the Mara certainly takes pride in place, other Kenyan parks will be just as exciting. For example, Amboseli Park in southern Kenya near the border with Tanzania is known for its stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the large population of elephants. Kenya’s largest national park, Tsavo, is known for its large herds of elephants and other animals such as lions, leopards, and buffalo. In central Kenya is the Aberdare National Park. It features dense forests and unique wildlife such as bongo antelope and black and white colobus monkeys. Kenya has many other national parks and reserves, each offering a unique experience. Whether you’re interested in wildlife, hiking, or just enjoying the natural beauty of Kenya, the country’s national parks have something for everyone.

Day 1

Flight Mombasa - Masai Mara

This morning, you will leave your hotel for Mombasa Airport for your domestic flight to the Masai Mara, 7:30 - 10:30. Upon arrival, your guide will meet you on the airstrip and treat you to champagne and fruit. After a short rest, you will go on a safari.

Your safari jeep is entirely at your disposal, so you decide how much time you would like to spend in the savannah. The main thing is to return to the lodge no later than 18:00.

Day 2

Full day Masai Mara safari

Today we advise you not to waste a minute and take advantage of all the opportunities this reserve has to offer. You can start your day with a morning game drive or take the exclusive opportunity to fly in a hot air balloon over the savannah. The hot air balloon will take you on routes a jeep would never take, so you can see the park in all its glory. The ballooning lasts about one hour. Then you'll have a champagne breakfast in the savannah.

After the safari, you will return to the lodge for a short rest and then head out again to the savannah until the evening. The driver will take you on new routes so that you can see as many animals as possible. We also advise you to supplement your safari with a visit to a Maasai village. That will help you feel the authentic atmosphere of Africa even more. Return to the lodge for dinner.

Day 3

Returning to the coast

Sunrise is the most magical time in the Masai Mara, so we suggest you start the safari early to see the savannah awakening. Then you will return to the lodge for breakfast, and after a short rest, you will head for the airstrip. On the way from the lodge, you will have the opportunity to see wildlife and enjoy the scenery of the Masai Mara.

Masai Mara - Mombasa 14:00 - 16:25.
