Who this itinerary suits
This itinerary is a starting point for travellers with three days available from Nairobi. Two nights allow a full day in the reserve between the road journeys. If you would like to add Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha or more time in the Mara, ask us to compare a longer route rather than squeezing extra destinations into three days.

Questions about this safari
Is Maasai Mara the same destination as Masai Mara?
Yes. Both spellings refer to the same safari destination. This programme is a three-day road itinerary from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara and back.
Can you collect us from a Nairobi airport or hotel?
Share your hotel or airport, flight schedule and preferred travel date. We will discuss a suitable starting arrangement and confirm pickup and drop-off before you book.
Will we see the migration or the Big Five?
Wildlife moves freely, and sightings or river crossings cannot be guaranteed. Tell us about your wildlife interests and travel dates so we can discuss the itinerary and expectations.
Can I finish the safari on the coast?
The published three-day route returns to Nairobi. If you want to continue to Mombasa or Diani, tell us before booking so we can quote and plan the onward journey separately or suggest a longer itinerary.
What to pack
Light layers, a hat, sun protection, insect repellent, comfortable shoes, a warm layer for early drives, your camera and binoculars.
