Highlights
Itinerary
Start your tour with pickup from the Nairobi hotel or Airport,where you will be transferred to the Maasai Mara via a scenic flight or a road transfer. Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to the luxurious Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge, offering breathtaking views of the Mara plains. After checking in and enjoying a delicious lunch at the lodge, your adventure begins with an afternoon game drive in a 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep. Explore the reserve’s rich wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, elephants, and lions. Your guide will help spot predators, herbivores, and other iconic species as the sun sets over the savannah, and you’ll return to the lodge for a relaxing dinner and overnight stay.
After an early breakfast, embark on a full day of game viewing across the Maasai Mara in your 4x4 Land Cruiser. The Maasai Mara is renowned for its wildlife diversity, including the Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos), cheetahs, hyenas, and countless bird species. Your expert guide will take you to the best spots for game viewing, and you’ll witness predator-prey interactions in the vast open plains. During the day, enjoy a picnic lunch in the park while taking in the beautiful landscapes. In the late afternoon, continue your game drive before returning to the lodge for dinner and relaxation.
On your final day, enjoy a hearty breakfast, followed by some leisure time to enjoy the views or relax at the lodge. After check-out, you’ll be transferred back to the airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi, where you will catch your international flight or continue to your next destination.

Visa Requirements: You’ll need visas for both Kenya and Tanzania. For convenience, some travelers can apply for an East African tourist visa, which covers Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. Make sure to confirm visa requirements based on your nationality.
Vaccinations and Health Precautions: A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required for entry into both Kenya and Tanzania, so be sure to get vaccinated if you haven't already. Anti-malarial medication is also highly recommended, as both countries have areas with malaria-carrying mosquitoes.
Packing Essentials: Prepare for a range of temperatures by packing lightweight clothing, layers for cool mornings and evenings, a wide-brimmed hat, and comfortable walking shoes for game drives. Don’t forget binoculars, which make a big difference for spotting wildlife in the distance.
Cash and Currency: While credit cards are accepted in some areas, it’s best to have cash for smaller purchases and tips. Both Kenya and Tanzania accept U.S. dollars, but be sure the bills are from 2011 or later, as older ones are often not accepted.
Local Customs and Etiquette: Respect local customs by asking permission before photographing the Maasai or other local people. Dress modestly, especially when visiting villages or interacting with the local community, to show respect for cultural norms.
