Masai Mara 2 Day Safari from Nairobi
MARA DISCOVERY SAFARI
Adventure to Kenya’s Most Popular Park on a Masai Mara Safari
Starting from/returning to Nairobi area hotels, airport, or location of your choice.
We’ll pick you up in style – your own private 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep.
- Nairobi
- Masai Mara
Throughout the world, the words Masai Mara mean wildlife adventure on the broad plains of this golden park. Here you’ll find a density of lion, wildebeest, and zebra in an unparalleled display. Any trip to the Mara is a treat and this short discovery tour will take you into the heart of a busy eco-system filled with large and small game – giraffe, elephant, rhino, hippos, and crocodiles.
We’re going to pack a lot into your safari, so we’ll leave early for a quick start on our game drives through the sprawling Mara lands. You’ll travel in safari-style in your own private 4 x 4 Jeep, taking in the African sunrise over Rift Valley towers and immense horizons.
What’s Cool about a Masai Mara Safari?
Your 2-day adventure will be a series of game drives over the rolling hills of the Masai Mara searching for the big cats and the herds – in the thousands – of roaming wildlife. We’ll travel down to the Mara River, site of the annual crossing where wildebeests and crocodiles often meet in a dramatic display of survival.
The Mara is also home to the Maasai people where you can experience a village encounter, learn about their lifestyle, visit their homes, and sample their crafts.
And, if you have any special requests please let our friendly booking team know. At Africa Kenya Safaris, our only wish is to create your best safari experience.
