3 Days Masai Mara Safari in Kenya

Begin your Maasai Mara safari early with a pickup from Nairobi, either at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your hotel. Travel in a comfortable 4x4 vehicle for about 5 to 6 hours. On the way, stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

When you arrive, check in at Mara Sopa Lodge. Enjoy a tasty lunch with beautiful views of the wide savannah. Around 4 PM, go on your first evening game drive. Spot the Big Five lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos along with other African animals as the sun sets. Return to the lodge for a delicious dinner and a calm night surrounded by nature.

Day 2: Hot Air Balloon and Full-Day Game Drive

Wake up early for a hot air balloon ride at $420 over the Maasai Mara. Drift quietly above the plains at sunrise and see the wildlife from above, including the wildebeest migration if it's the season. After landing, enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush.

Next, go on a full-day game drive across different parts of the Maasai Mara. You will visit areas like riverine forests and open savannahs. Have a picnic lunch in the wild while watching animals such as wildebeest, zebras, lions, cheetahs, and elephants. Return to your lodge late afternoon for a relaxing dinner under the stars.

Day 3: Maasai Culture and Return to Nairobi

After breakfast, visit a Maasai village nearby to learn about their culture. Experience their traditions, customs, and lively dances. Take a guided tour of the village and support local community projects that help Maasai families.

After the cultural visit, travel back to Nairobi. Your safari ends with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, leaving you with wonderful memories of the Maasai Mara.
