Perfect for travellers short on time or combining a safari with a beach stay in Diani.

Day-by-day itinerary
Morning scheduled flight from Wilson Airport (Nairobi) or the coast to a Mara airstrip. Your guide meets you planeside and you game-drive to camp in time for lunch. In the afternoon, head out as the light turns golden and the predators begin to stir.
A full day exploring the reserve with a picnic lunch under an acacia. Track lion prides, cheetah and leopard, and between July and October wait by the Mara River for the dramatic wildebeest crossings. Optional dawn hot-air balloon flight with champagne breakfast.
A final early-morning drive when the animals are most active, followed by a hearty breakfast at camp. Transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi or the coast.
