On arrival at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Inclusive Holidays Africa representatives will warmly meet you and welcome you to Kenya. We then transfer to Sarova Stanley Hotel, named after journalist turned explorer HM Stanley who was commissioned to find the infamous Dr Livingstone. Keep in mind that hotel rooms may not be accessible until midday, so it's advisable to pack essentials for the day in your carry-on luggage. The remainder of the day is at your leisure, presenting an excellent chance to explore Nairobi. The city boasts numerous attractions, ranging from Nairobi National Park to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, ensuring there's something for everyone, depending on your interests.

A hearty early morning breakfast then drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve, offering wonderful scenery and plenty of game. We arrive at our camp to a very warm welcome for lunch, and some leisure. This afternoon is the moment we have been longing for –we depart on an exciting game-viewing drive. The Rolling plains and grasslands, stretching far into the horizons as far as the eye can see are home to the black-manned lion, the savannah elephant, the Cape buffalo, wildebeests, the elusive leopard, cheetah, the spotted & striped hyena, the rhino, topi, Burchell’s zebra, the Maasai giraffe among many others. The Mara game reserve can never disappoint. One is spoilt by the variety of bird and wildlife species in this game reserve. For a long time, Mara Game Reserve has stubbed her authority as the ‘granary ’ of wildlife in Kenya.

Optional Balloon Safari: Today’s adventure begins just before dawn. Flames from the hot air balloon burners light the darkness as the crew inflate their craft. The first, pink tongues of sunlight flicker across the skies and the hot air balloon fills then rises. Suspended in a basket beneath the rainbow-colored canopy, you're off for a game-viewing adventure with an entirely different perspective. Apart from the occasional hiss of the burners, a lion's roar, elephants crashing through the bush, and baboons perched at the tips of the trees startled and screeching to see something above them, the flight above the Masai Mara plains is magically silent. At the end of the flight, the passengers are treated to a champagne breakfast in the bush, complete with flowers. China and crystal are set out on the table that is placed under a convenient acacia tree. The finishing touch to the flight is a game drive back to the camp, and the possibility of seeing the same pride of lions, or herd of elephants that had been viewed while ballooning. A flight certificate is issued on completion of the balloon safari. Full-day adventure with morning and afternoon game drives. Be on the lookout for the big five that Maasai Mara is famous for. These include the lion, savannah (African) elephant, the Cape buffalo, the leopard, and the black rhino. In the early 20th century, Kenya was a famous hunting destination. Killing any of the 'Big Five Game', one prides a sense of class, a feeling of heroism. We may even be so lucky to witness a leopard or a cheetah sprint and make a kill! We return to the camp before dusk.

Following breakfast, commence your journey back to Nairobi, with an anticipated arrival at the hotel around noon (note: room usage is not included). As your international flight departure approaches, plan to transfer to the airport at the scheduled time, allowing for a three-hour buffer to accommodate check-in procedures, security protocols, and any unforeseen delays. This strategic timing ensures a smooth and stress-free departure for your international flight.
