4 Days Wildlife Cultural Safari in Kenya Highlights
Day 1: Arrival and transfer to Masai Mara
When you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta international airport, your safari guide will meet you and after a brief safari briefing about the 4 Days Masai Mara Wildlife Cultural Safari, you will be driven to the Masai Mara national game park.
The Masai Mara National park is a popular Kenya safari destination known for its excellent Kenya game viewing opportunities. To get to the park, drive through the scenic Great Rift Valley and stop at the Escarpment viewpoint for scenery viewing and photography opportunities. Another stop will be in Narok Town, where you will interact with the local Masai people, have lunch, and have the opportunity to purchase locally made craft pieces before continuing on to Masai Mara National Reserve.
When you arrive, you will immediately go on an evening game drive, which is a rewarding game viewing experience during which you will spot predators such as lions, leopards, and cheetahs as they try to hunt in the dark with the help of a spot light. In the evening, you will return to your lodge, check in, and spend the night.
Day 2: Masai Mara full-day game drive
Wake up before dawn and head to the plains of Masai Mara for an early morning game drive, where you will enjoy the spectacular sunrise over the reserve’s rolling plains and see many animals in large numbers, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, wildebeests, zebras, and many more, as they are just waking up.
After the game drive, return to your lodge for a late breakfast before relaxing around your lodge while you wait for lunch and prepare for another game drive in the afternoon. On the afternoon game drive, you will explore other areas of the reserve and see more animals. The highlight of the game drive will be a visit to the Mara River, where you will see many crocodiles and hippos playing in the river’s water pool. In the evening, you’ll return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
