Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara

Your 3-day fly-in safari with African Outback Safaris begins early at 6:00am when your guide picks you up from your Nairobi hotel and transfers you to Wilson Airport, arriving by 6:20am. Board your light aircraft for a scenic 45-minute flight over the Great Rift Valley, landing at Keekorok Airstrip by 8:10am. Upon arrival, meet your African Outback Safaris driver-guide and immediately begin a morning game drive in the heart of the Masai Mara. The Mara is renowned for its abundant wildlife, including the Big Five: lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino. You may also see giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and numerous bird species. By 12:30pm, check into your selected lodge or camp, enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, and relax. After some rest, head out for the afternoon game drive from 4:00pm to 6:30pm, exploring the plains, spotting wildlife, and photographing dramatic landscapes as the sun begins to set. Return to your lodge or camp for dinner, reflect on your first safari experiences, and spend the night surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

Day 2: Masai Mara Game Drives

After an early breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive with a packed lunch, venturing deeper into the Mara’s expansive landscapes. Your African Outback Safaris guide will take you to prime wildlife spots, including the Mara River, which is home to hippos, crocodiles, and a variety of birdlife. The Mara offers some of the best opportunities to observe the Big Five in their natural habitat, as well as cheetahs, hyenas, warthogs, and countless antelope species. Depending on the season, you may witness the spectacular wildebeest migration, with thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles moving across the plains in search of fresh grazing. Enjoy picnic lunch amidst the wild, surrounded by scenic views and animal encounters. Return to your lodge in the late afternoon to relax and freshen up. In the evening, savor dinner at your lodge, share stories from the day, and settle in for another night in the wilderness, experiencing the tranquility and natural sounds of the Masai Mara under a starry sky.
