Discover one of Africa’s most famous wildlife destinations on this 3-Day Private Masai Mara Safari from Nairobi.
The Masai Mara National Reserve is known for its wide-open plains, beautiful sunsets, abundant wildlife, and exciting predator sightings. During this private safari, you will explore the reserve in a comfortable 4×4 safari Land Cruiser with your own experienced driver-guide.
The Masai Mara is home to lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, rhinos, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and hundreds of bird species. Between July and October, the reserve also hosts the spectacular Great Wildebeest Migration.
Your journey begins in Nairobi and takes you through the scenic Great Rift Valley before descending into the rolling savannahs of the Mara. You will enjoy private game drives, full-board accommodation, park entry, and personalized service throughout the safari.
You may also enhance your experience with an optional Maasai village visit or a sunrise hot-air balloon safari.
Whether you choose a budget camp, a comfortable lodge, or a luxury tented camp, Trek Afrika Adventures will deliver the same high standard of safari planning, guiding, and personal attention.
This private safari gives you the freedom to explore the Masai Mara at your own pace.
Unlike a group safari, your game drives are planned around your interests. You can spend more time watching a pride of lions, photographing elephants, searching for leopards, or simply enjoying the peaceful landscape.
Travelling in a private 4×4 Land Cruiser also provides more comfort, better visibility, and access to different areas of the reserve.
Your safari begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel, residence, or the airport in Nairobi.
Meet your private Trek Afrika Adventures driver-guide and depart in a comfortable 4x4 Land Cruiser towards the Masai Mara National Reserve.
The journey takes you through Kenya’s central highlands before descending into the Great Rift Valley. You will stop at a scenic viewpoint to enjoy the sweeping landscape and take photographs.
Continue through local farming areas, small towns, and traditional Maasai countryside before arriving at your lodge or tented camp in time for lunch.
After checking in and relaxing briefly, depart for your first afternoon game drive in the Masai Mara.
The reserve’s open grasslands make it an excellent place to see wildlife. Look out for elephants, zebras, giraffes, wildebeest, buffaloes, antelopes, and predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards.
As the sun begins to set over the savannah, return to your lodge or camp for dinner and an overnight stay.

You may also see cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, warthogs, gazelles, elands, hippos, crocodiles, and many bird species.
During the Great Migration season, usually between July and October, thousands of wildebeest and zebras enter the Masai Mara from Tanzania’s Serengeti. Depending on the movement of the herds, you may visit the Mara River, where dramatic crossings sometimes take place.
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the reserve while surrounded by the beautiful African wilderness.
