4 Days 3 Nights Masai Mara Safari
Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara Reserve
After being picked up from your hotel in the morning and a short briefing on the safari, depart Nairobi and head toward Masai Mara, with a scenic stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint. Continue through Narok town, home of the Maasai community, before arriving at the Mara. Check into your lodge or camp for lunch, unwind, and prepare for an afternoon game drive. The late afternoon is perfect for spotting predators as they emerge from the heat, and you may encounter lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and other wildlife roaming the plains. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 2: Full Day in Masai Mara
Spend the entire day exploring the reserve, which hosts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa. Witness the wide-open savannahs filled with elephants, zebras, topis, buffalo, gazelles, and occasionally rhinos and leopards. The Mara River is home to hippos and crocodiles, and migratory wildebeest and zebra move across the plains depending on the season. Between game drives, relax at the lodge, and you may also choose to visit a Maasai village to learn about local traditions. Return in the evening for dinner and overnight stay.
Day 3: Masai Mara Exploration
Today is fully dedicated to discovering more of the Mara at your own pace. You can take morning and evening drives or spend the day on a single extended game drive, following the paths of wildlife across the savannah. Expect to see large herds of elephants, prides of lions, and graceful giraffes alongside zebras and gazelles. The richness of the park’s ecosystem, with its hundreds of bird species, makes every drive a unique experience. End the day back at your camp or lodge for dinner and rest.
Day 4: Masai Mara – Nairobi
After breakfast, check out of your lodge and begin the journey back to Nairobi. Stop for lunch along the way, enjoying the scenery of the Kenyan countryside. Arrive in Nairobi in the evening for drop-off at your hotel or the airport, bringing your unforgettable Mara safari to a close.

Quite a challenge. The ascend to the base of the high peaks of Mt Kenya is steady and longer hence a real test on individual fitness. Descent through Sirimon is more or less gradual and at a comfortable pace. This itinerary includes mandatory camping at Mintos on day 2 but unless preferred the rest of the nights can be in the huts available along the way.
Tip: Day 2′s hike is a long one involving a steady climb up to Mintos. Hikers who are not limited by time can take an overnight stopover at the Nithi Camp (3300m) mid-way to Mintos. From here they can explore the nearby Nithi Falls or climb Mugi hill (3500m) for better acclimatization. Alternatively you can hike directly to Mintos/Halltarn and spend an extra day here instead to recuperate and explore the Gorges Valley which also accords you a better acclimatization due to the higher altitude.
