This three-day, private, guided safari trip is for those who want to make the most of their short stay in Kenya. Book with us to explore the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of Africa's most popular wildlife destinations, and stay in the luxurious Mara Sopa Lodge while enjoying game drives in the reserve.
In addition to the Big Five, Maasai Mara is also famous for its annual migration, when millions of wildebeests – not to mention tens of thousands of zebras and gazelles – migrate north from Serengeti. This spectacle starts in late July or early August and continues until October.
We will pick you up on the first day of the tour from your centrally located hotel in Nairobi and drive you to Maasai Mara. There is a stopover of around 30 minutes at a viewpoint in the Rift Valley. Learn more about the geology of this place from your tour guide before proceeding to Narok, a town famous for the Maasai people.
Your first game drive in the wildlife reserve is late in the afternoon, followed by a full-day exploration of the national park on the second day. Enjoy your final game drive early in the morning of Day 3 before its time to head back to Nairobi where we will drop you off either at your hotel or at the airport for you to catch your flight home.
To quote my husband:
'Glenys went away talking about animals and came home talking about the people'. We ended (our trip to Africa) on a high by spending a day in Nairobi with this tour operator. I recommend this tour as a truly rewarding experience. The money paid buys pigs for women to start a pig-breeding and selling business, and thus support their families. We spent time with 2 beautiful grandmas, cooking chapatis together for lunch then seeing their home, vegetable garden and pigpens. Hearing their life stories brought tears to our eyes, but they have truly come a long way. Inspirational! Everyone we met was cheerful, friendly and happy to do anything for us. Their happiness was contagious!
Mount Kenya Trek – Chogoria to Sirimon route in 5 days is a hiking and trekking tour that takes you up to Point Lenana (4,985 m)—the third highest peak in Mount Kenya. Enjoy a fully guided tour as you ascend through lush bamboo and highland forests in Chogoria and make your descend via Sirimon, traversing through giant trees and rocky terrains.
On the way, discover unique landscapes and beautiful forest trails while enjoying magnificent views of the Gorges Valley, Ithanguni and the Northern Moorlands. Stay in tents, witness the night sky uninterrupted by light pollution and watch the sunrise from the third highest peak in Mount Kenya.
Please see the itinerary for more details.
Our guide Edwin was great. He set a good pace (pole pole meaning slowly slowly) which enabled us to get to the summit. We were also very well looked after by our guide, the cook and all the porters. We have a lot of respect for them all.

The time with the gorillas was one of the most amazing times in my adult life. I felt like a 5-year-old child on Christmas morning the entire time, and had a grin on my face that must have lasted for days. The rest of the trip was wonderful, but I will never forget the gorillas.

Trip overall was terrific. Changes that could be made to future safaris. Game drives should only go out early morning, return to camp by 11am. 2nd game drive should start about 3pm until sunset. Rest at camp from 11am to 3pm. Boxed lunches should be deleted as they were well below standard & not terrible. Rift Valley Photographic Lodge was below standard & one night is plenty. The road in & out of the Lodge was absolutely terrible. My room had a terrible smell from shower drain & I was moved. The next room had no hot water until I chased it up. Swimming pools were all empty. Cut out long village walk as too hot & drive onto next lodge. You need at least 2 full days in the fantastic Ambroseli park. Masai Mara should be 2 full days experience & 2 full days in Ngorongoro Crater. Completely drop day 8 cultural experience etc from itinerary. We were all charged USD20 to visit Masia village but found out later Masai visit was free in initerary. The jeep in Kenya was old & very uncomfortable. The jeep in Tanzania was modern, a good ride & very uncomfortable. That part of the tour needs to be looked due to jeep travelling time.
