The Safari From Nairobi takes you by road to the Masai Mara - Kenya's finest and most outstanding wildlife sanctuary where gentle rolling grassland ensures animals are never out of sight.
The climate is gentle, rarely too hot and well spread rainfall year round. The sensation of the great wildebeest migration between July and October is unparalleled. The wildlife is far from being confined within the Reserve boundaries and an even larger area extends beyond the game Reserve.
Centuries of close association with the wildlife has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and Masai people live in peace with one another.
The first sight of this Game Park is breathtaking. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. The combination of a gentle climate, scenic splendor and untold numbers of wildlife makes the Masai Mara National Reserve Kenya's most popular inland destination.

Maasai Mara National Reserve
After breakfast, we have a full day dame drive, with packed lunch provided. The reserve is well known for its black-manned lion, as well as its abundant resident wildlife and its one of the few places where it's possible to see the big five during a morning's game drive. Many of the cheetahs are so tame they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get a better view of prospective prey. The Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of Wildebeest, Zebras and attendant predators. For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded: among these 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, 6 species of vultures, 8 species of storks, 4 of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and 9 species of sunbirds. Visit to a Maasai Village An optional visit to a Masai village can be arranged (20 USD) after the game drive. Maasai warriors are famously known as the proud nomadic tribe whose legendary prowess in battle and single-handed acts of bravery in fights with the wild animals are known across the world. This visit gives a good tour of Maasai culture and you will be welcomed with a sing and dance presentation, which forms part of their daily lives and sacred rituals.

My family vacation will be forever memorable because of Starvel Safaris! Let me break it down for you—Esther and the Starvel Safaris crew are the real deal. Esther's expertise and passion for wildlife and travel planning shone through as she patiently guided me through the various safari options. This exclusive 3-day package is the best decision you can ever make. Our tour guide, Daniel was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to spot the entire Big Five, and the joy on my children's faces as they saw these majestic creatures up close for the first time was priceless. Our accommodation exceeded our expectations. The family tent concept was brilliant, providing a cozy, safe space for the family! I can't recommend Starvel Safaris enough for all your travel needs. Thank you, Starvel Safaris, for an unforgettable journey.
