Day by day

4 days in East Africa.

  1. Day 1

    Nairobi – Maasai Mara

    Depart Nairobi at 8am for the Maasai Mara National Reserve, pausing at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint and again in Narok town for refuelling and lunch. Arrival at the eco camp is at about 2pm. After check-in the 4x4 Land Cruiser heads out for an evening game drive from 3pm to 6:30pm, tracking a range of animals and birds as the plains cool down and the grazing herds spread out from the thickets. Dinner follows, with an early call arranged for the full day ahead.

  2. Day 2

    Maasai Mara Full Day

    Breakfast is early so that you are entering the reserve by 6:30am, in time for sunrise over the grassland and the longest possible day of game viewing. The Big Five are all present in the Mara, along with topi, wildebeest and many smaller species, and from June to October the great migration may be in the reserve. Picnic lunch is taken at the Mara River, where hippo and crocodile loaf in the water, before continuing to the Kenya–Tanzania boundary and game viewing until evening. Dinner and overnight at camp.

  3. Day 3

    Maasai Mara Full day on the plains

    A second full day on the plains. After breakfast, head back into the reserve for sunrise and the early activity that follows it, then use the day to reach parts of the Mara you did not cover yesterday and to look for species still missing from your list. Lunch is again by the Mara River, where vervet monkeys are quick to notice a picnic. The afternoon continues with game viewing in the 4x4 Land Cruiser until the light goes, then it is back to camp for dinner and the final night in the Mara.

  4. Day 4

    Maasai Mara To Nairobi

    Wake at a more relaxed hour after two full days in the reserve. Following breakfast and check-out, visit a Maasai village to learn about the community's way of life, hear its songs, see its dances and be shown how a fire is lit without matches. The drive back to Nairobi retraces the route via Narok and the escarpment, arriving in the afternoon. Drop-off is at your hotel or the airport; let us know your onward plans when booking so the timing works.

What is included

What to allow for

Ask for an itemised list of exclusions and optional activities with your quotation so you can plan your total travel budget.

When to travel

Seasonal considerations.

The Great Migration is a natural phenomenon, not a scheduled event. The herds move through the Serengeti and Maasai Mara with the rainfall, so their position shifts from month to month and year to year, and river crossings can never be guaranteed on a given date. Broadly, the calving months in the southern Serengeti fall around January to March, the western and central plains hold the herds from roughly April to June, and the northern Serengeti and the Mara are the usual focus from about July to October. We plan around the most current reports rather than a fixed calendar.
