Discover the heart of the Great Migration on this exclusive 3-day safari. Watch as millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles sweep across the Maasai Mara’s vast plains, navigating the treacherous Mara River under the watchful eyes of formidable predators. This private tour places you at the center of nature’s grandest spectacle, combining up-close wildlife encounters with comfortable lodging, all from the custom vantage point of your 4×4 Land Cruiser.
Your safari adventure begins as a private driver-guide greets you at your Nairobi hotel or the airport. You'll travel in a specially equipped 4x4 Land Cruiser, featuring a pop-up roof designed for exceptional viewing and photography. The journey takes you through the stunning Great Rift Valley, with a stop at an escarpment viewpoint for sweeping vistas and photos.
By early afternoon, you'll reach the iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve. After settling into your lodge and enjoying lunch, your first game drive starts. The plains are teeming with life: enormous herds of wildebeest and zebras move together, and you might spot a lioness tracking her prey in the distance. As evening approaches, the savannah glows with a warm, golden light. You'll return to your lodge for dinner, then perhaps relax by a bonfire, listening to the calls of the wild.
Meals: Lunch & Dinner
Wake up to the sounds of the African bush. Following an early breakfast, you'll head out for a full day of game viewing, ready for incredible wildlife moments.
You'll follow the immense herds toward the Mara River, where the migration reaches a breathtaking peak. Here, vast numbers of wildebeest gather, driven by instinct to cross the river. Witness the powerful moment when the first animals plunge into the water, initiating a chaotic rush. The river churns with thrashing hooves, crocodiles lie in ambush, and the air fills with the sounds of this epic crossing.
Throughout the day, you'll likely see other dramatic interactions: a cheetah in pursuit, vultures circling, or a leopard resting in a tree. A picnic lunch will be served under the shade of an acacia tree, offering a true wilderness dining experience. The afternoon allows for further exploration, encountering elephants, hippos, and more.
There's an optional visit to a traditional Maasai village, where you can meet the local warriors and learn about their timeless culture. As dusk falls, you'll return to your lodge for a special dinner. The Mara's night sky is spectacular, perfect for stargazing before you drift off to sleep, surrounded by the sounds of the wild.
Meals: Breakfast, Picnic Lunch & Dinner
On your final morning, consider an early game drive. This is often when predators are most active, and the soft morning light creates perfect photo opportunities—lions concluding a hunt, hyenas scavenging, or herds silhouetted against the rising sun.
After breakfast, you'll bid farewell to the Mara and begin your drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the late afternoon. Your driver will drop you off at your hotel or the airport, concluding your safari experience. The incredible sights and sounds of the Mara will stay with you long after you've returned home.
