Itinerary at a Glance: 3 Days, Masai Mara Fly-in Safari from the coast

Day 1: Mombasa/Diani – Flight to Masai Mara – Afternoon Safari Drive

  • Early transfer from your beach hotel in Mombasa or Diani to the airport/airstrip.

  • Scenic flight over Tsavo and the Rift Valley into the Masai Mara (approx. 1hr 45 mins).

  • Your safari guide will meet you on arrival and whisk you straight into the wild for your first game drive.

  • Expect lions basking in the morning sun, elephants ambling gracefully, and cheetahs scanning the plains.

  • Lunch at your lodge/camp → relax and soak in savannah views from your veranda.

  • Afternoon game drive until sunset, when the Mara comes alive with hunting predators and grazing herds.

  • Overnight in a luxury tented camp or lodge inside Masai Mara.

Day 2: Full-Day Safari in Masai Mara – The Big Five Experience

  • Wake up to the sounds of the wild — distant lions roaring, birdsong, and the crisp Mara air.

  • Morning game drive across the vast savannah plains where you’ll track elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos.

  • Optional hot air balloon safari (at extra cost) – float over the plains at sunrise and enjoy a champagne breakfast in the bush.

  • Spend the day exploring different regions of the park: riverine forests, the Mara River (where wildebeests cross during the migration), and open grasslands teeming with zebras and gazelles.

  • Picnic lunch in the wild, surrounded by roaming giraffes.

  • Evening return to camp, storytelling around a bonfire, and stargazing under Africa’s open skies.
