Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara National Reserve – A Rift Valley Delight

After a hearty breakfast, we depart from Nairobi, setting off on an unforgettable journey to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. En route, we make a breathtaking stop at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint, where panoramic vistas stretch before you, hinting at the grandeur of what lies ahead.

Continuing our adventure, we venture through the vibrant Maasai town of Narok, where a delectable lunch awaits.

At nightfall, we retreat to our cozy camp at Miti Mingi Eco Camp, where you’ll enjoy a restful overnight stay.

Best time to visit Masai Mara

The best time to visit Masai Mara is during the dry season, which is from June to October. During this time, the weather is sunny and warm, and the vegetation is less dense, making it easier to spot animals. This is also the time of year for the Great Migration, when millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Masai Mara.

High Season for Masai Mara

The high season for Masai Mara is during the dry season, from July to October. This is when the weather is best, and the wildlife viewing is at its peak. However, the high season also means that the park is more crowded, and prices for safaris and accommodation are higher.

If you are looking to avoid the crowds, you can visit Masai Mara during the shoulder seasons, which are from April to May and from November to December. The weather is still good during these times, but the park is not as crowded.
