A quick but magical escape to the Masai Mara. Two days of game drives across endless golden plains, with a chance to spot the Big Five and experience Maasai culture.
Wake up to the sounds of the African bush. Your two days in the Masai Mara include morning and afternoon game drives across the iconic golden plains. Spot lions, elephants, leopards, and if you're lucky, witness the Great Migration river crossings between July and October. Visit a local Maasai village to learn about their ancient traditions. Stay in a comfortable mid-range lodge with all meals included.
The 2 Days Masai Mara Safari Package is perfect for travelers with limited time who still want to experience Africa's most famous game reserve. This short but action-packed safari takes you into the heart of the Masai Mara, where you'll have ample opportunities to see the Big Five and witness the spectacular Great Migration if visiting between July and October. Your expert guide will lead you on morning and afternoon game drives, each offering unique wildlife sightings as animals move with the sun. Even with just two days, you'll understand why the Masai Mara is considered the crown jewel of African safaris.
This tour partners with eco-certified lodges and follows low-impact travel principles.
We will pick you up from your in Nairobi and drive to the Masai Mara National Reserve through the scenic Kenyan countryside. Upon arrival, you will begin your safari with a game drive, exploring the vast savannah in search of lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and other wildlife. After your game drive, you will check in to your comfortable accommodation and enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.
After breakfast, we will enjoy another game drive in the Masai Mara, giving you more opportunities to experience the reserve’s incredible wildlife and beautiful landscapes. After the safari experience, we will begin the journey back to Nairobi and drop you off at your preferred destination.
Daily departures from Nairobi at 8:00 AM. Pick-up from your Nairobi hotel or airport. Return to Nairobi by 6:00 PM on day 2.
The Masai Mara is approximately 270 km from Nairobi, about 5-6 hours by road via the scenic Great Rift Valley. We use comfortable safari vehicles for the journey. Optional flights from Nairobi Wilson Airport to Mara airstrips are available (35 minutes, extra cost).
While more time is always better, two days allows for quality game drives and you can still see the Big Five with good luck. It's ideal for weekend trips or as part of a longer Kenya itinerary.
July to October offers the best chance to see the Great Migration river crossings. January to February is calving season with abundant predators. April to June offers lush landscapes and fewer crowds.
Pack neutral-colored clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, comfortable shoes, a warm fleece for early mornings, and a camera with zoom lens. Binoculars are highly recommended.
