3Days/2Nights Masai Mara Game Reserve (By Air)

Day One:
NAIROBI – MAASAI MARA

On arrival, you will be met by our representative either at your Nairobi hotel  or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to the Wilson Airport.  Check In for flight to Maasai Mara is one hour before departure time. Morning  flight to Mara is at 1000 hrs & Afternoon flight at 1500 hrs. On arrival in  Mara, you will be met by your driver guide and transfer to Mara Sarova Game  Camp. After lunch at the lodge, you have an early afternoon for relaxation,  before going for an afternoon game drive, from 1600 hrs till dusk.

The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to  believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here. You will easily  see lions, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, giraffe, wildebeests, zebras, buffalo, warthogs,  hyenas, jackals, wild dogs, buffalo, leopard, many kinds of antelopes and  elephant. It is in the Mara that perhaps the most spectacular event of the  natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of  wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti (Tanzania) in search of water and  pasture. Following on their heels are the predators of the savanna- lion,  cheetah, wild dog, jackal, hyena and vultures.
