Day 1
Nairobi To Maasai Mara NR
Leave Nairobi behind as you travel toward the wild expanse of the Masai Mara (approx. 5–6 hrs drive). Along the way, the urban landscape fades, and the vast savannah horizon beckons. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch and embark on your first game drive — a thrilling initiation into the kingdom of lions, elephants, and elusive leopards. As the sun sinks low, settle into your lodge with a sense of awe and anticipation. You’ve stepped out of your ordinary world — and the wild is now your teacher.

Cap the evening with a Masai village visit to connect with the spirit of the land and its people. You face the raw power of life and death — and begin to understand your place in the wild.
