Mara Discovery Safari
A quick-start adventure into the heart of Kenya's busiest ecosystem - lion, wildebeest and zebra on the golden plains of the Masai Mara.
Kenya's most popular park, in a quick two days
Throughout the world, the words Masai Mara mean wildlife adventure on the broad plains of this golden park - a density of lion, wildebeest and zebra in an unparalleled display.
We leave early for a quick start on game drives through the sprawling Mara lands, taking in the African sunrise over Rift Valley towers and immense horizons in your own private 4x4 jeep.

Nairobi → Masai Mara National Reserve
5:00am pickup from the location of your choice. We pause for a breakfast break in the town of Narok, passing homesteads and Maasai herdsmen along the way, arriving at the park around 10:30am.
The park's vast expanse opens up - rolling hills and savannah, one of the richest ecosystems in the world. Game drives track the big cats plus elephant, leopard, buffalo and giraffe, with a picnic lunch down at the Mara River. After more afternoon game drives, we freshen up at the lodge for dinner and the evening's activities.
