WildlifeSafariAdventure

Get ready for the adventure of a lifetime with Jossec Safaris on our exclusive 4-Day Masai Mara Safari in a 4x4 Jeep. This thrilling journey will take you deep into Kenya’s most famous wildlife reserve, the Masai Mara, home to the legendary Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. Imagine witnessing these majestic creatures up close in their natural habitat while surrounded by breathtaking landscapes. And if you're lucky enough to travel between July and October, you’ll be in the heart of the Great Migration, where over a million wildebeest and zebra make their way across the plains, a spectacle like no other.

With Jossec Safaris, you’ll travel in style and comfort, with expert guides leading the way and handpicked accommodations to ensure you rest well after each day’s adventure. Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or simply seeking a unique African experience, this safari promises memories you’ll treasure forever.

Highlights

Explore the legendary Masai Mara, home to the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and rhino. Witness the breathtaking Great Migration (seasonal: July - October). Optional sunrise balloon safari with a panoramic view of the Mara for just $450. Enjoy expertly guided game drives with experienced Jossec Safaris guides. Stay in comfortable lodges with full-board accommodation. Airport and hotel pick-up and drop-off services included. Flexible pricing options for peak and off-peak seasons. Scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley on the way to Masai Mara.

Itinerary

Your safari kicks off with an early morning pick-up by the Jossec Safaris team from your Nairobi hotel or residence—or straight from the airport if you're just arriving. After a quick briefing, you’ll hop into one of our rugged yet comfortable 4x4 Jeeps, designed to handle the Mara’s terrain with ease, providing you with the best game-viewing experience.

On your way to the Masai Mara, you'll enjoy scenic views of the Great Rift Valley and make a few stops for breathtaking photo opportunities. After arriving at your lodge or camp in the early afternoon, you’ll have time to relax and soak in the tranquil African wilderness. Later in the day, embark on your first game drive in the Mara, where you’ll get a glimpse of the vast wildlife that awaits. As the sun sets, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner, ready for a night of restful sleep in the heart of nature.

Prepare for an exhilarating day! After an early breakfast, you’ll set out for a full-day game drive in your 4x4 Jeep, maximizing your chances of spotting the Big Five. The Masai Mara is a wildlife haven, and with your experienced Jossec Safaris guide, you’ll explore the diverse habitats of this iconic reserve.

Witness lions on the prowl, leopards lounging in trees, and elephants roaming the plains. If you're visiting during the Great Migration, you’ll be at the edge of your seat as massive herds of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River, navigating hungry crocodiles lurking beneath the waters.

You’ll break for a packed lunch amidst the wilderness, enjoying the panoramic views and perhaps a few curious visitors like giraffes or gazelles wandering nearby. In the evening, head back to your lodge for a well-deserved rest after a day packed with wildlife encounters.

Start the day with an unforgettable option—take to the skies on a sunrise balloon safari for just $450 per person. Floating over the vast Mara as the sun rises, you’ll witness the landscape and wildlife from an entirely new perspective. Spot herds of elephants and giraffes wandering the savannah as the morning light reveals the beauty of the park below. Upon landing, enjoy a bush breakfast in the wild, making for a truly magical start to the day.

If you prefer to stay grounded, embark on another thrilling day of game drives in the 4x4 Jeep. With over 95 mammal species and 570 bird species in the Masai Mara, every drive offers something new. You might encounter a cheetah sprinting after its prey, or watch as a pride of lions lounges lazily in the sun. Your guide will ensure you make the most of every moment.

After another full day in the wild, you’ll return to your lodge for a final evening of relaxation under the starry African sky.

After a leisurely breakfast, it’s time to bid farewell to the Masai Mara. There’s no game drive scheduled today, allowing for a relaxed departure. You’ll enjoy a scenic drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon. We’ll drop you off at your hotel, residence, or directly at the airport if you’re catching a flight, ensuring you leave with a heart full of unforgettable memories and the sights and sounds of the Mara etched in your mind forever.

Pricing for this 4-day safari varies based on the season and your choice of accommodation. Peak season, from July to October, offers the unique opportunity to witness the Great Migration, which attracts higher rates due to demand. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, traveling during the off-peak season provides great value without sacrificing the incredible wildlife experience.

  • High Season (July - October): Prices are higher due to the Great Migration.
  • Low Season (November - June): More budget-friendly, with fewer tourists but still plenty of wildlife action.
  • Accommodation Choices: We offer standard, mid-range, and luxury lodge options to suit your preferences and budget.

With Jossec Safaris, you’re guaranteed a personalized and unforgettable safari experience, where every detail is taken care of to ensure you get the most out of your African adventure. Don’t miss this opportunity—book now and get ready for the journey of a lifetime in the Masai Mara!
