Itinerary Details

Day-by-Day


Day 1 Pick Up from Nairobi and Fly to Masai Mara National Reserve

On this holiday, we offer a ‘meet and assist' service. As soon as you disembark the aircraft from your international flight, you will receive a warm welcome from a friendly representative who will escort you through immigration, customs and baggage collection, and they will remain with you until you meet your driver in the arrivals area. You will then be transferred to the domestic airport where you’ll board a light aircraft flight to the Masai Mara.


Upon arrival at the Masai Mara, you will be met by a representative and driven to your chosen safari lodge or camp where you will stay for the next three nights.


We work with a number of different award-winning safari camps and luxury lodges within the main Masai Mara National Reserve and in the outlying conservancies. We will ensure that we match you to the most suitable accommodation for your requirements and sense of style.


Optional accommodation upgrade is available for an extra cost.
