Footprints of Africa

Enjoy an enroute game drive through Nakuru as you continue to the Maasai Mara, Kenya’s most renowned wildlife reserve, arriving around 1600hrs. On arrival, set out for a game drive before heading to your camp for dinner and overnight.

The Maasai Mara is without doubt Kenya’s most celebrated reserve, widely known and frequently visited. Much of the film Out of Africa was shot here. It boasts abundant wildlife, including the Big Five, and offers the unforgettable sight of the Great Migration—millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles crossing from the Serengeti into the Mara between late June and October. Bird enthusiasts will also delight, with over 450 recorded species.
