Tour Plan
Depart from your Nairobi hotel in the morning and drive through the Great Rift Valley viewpoints on your way to Masai Mara National Reserve. Arrive at around 1 pm, check in at Camp Mara Simba, and enjoy lunch before heading out for an afternoon game drive in search of lions, elephants, buffalo, and other wildlife. After the game drive, return to Camp Mara Simba for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast at the camp, leave for a full-day game drive in Masai Mara with a packed picnic lunch to maximise your time in the reserve. Explore different parts of the savanna as you look for the Big Five, cheetahs, hippos, and abundant plains game, with a lunch break at a scenic spot inside the park. Return to Camp Mara Simba in the late afternoon for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
Enjoy an early breakfast at the camp and check out for a final, unhurried game drive as you exit Masai Mara. Continue the game drive along the route toward the park gate, then drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon and dropping off at your hotel or agreed location. This marks the end of your 3 days Masai Mara safari from Nairobi.
