3-Day Masai Mara Safari by Plane with Kenya Horizon Safaris
Experience the wonders of the Masai Mara on a 3-day safari from Nairobi. Known for its unparalleled wildlife and vast savannahs, the Masai Mara is one of Africa’s most famous safari destinations. By flying from Nairobi, you’ll maximize your time in the reserve, allowing you to fully enjoy thrilling game drives and the comfort of a luxury lodge or tented camp. With Kenya Horizon Safaris, every detail of your trip is expertly handled, ensuring an unforgettable adventure.
Day 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara by Plane
Your safari begins with a morning flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to the Masai Mara. The scenic flight offers stunning aerial views of Kenya’s landscapes, from the Great Rift Valley to the rolling plains of the Mara. Upon landing at the airstrip, a professional guide from Kenya Horizon Safaris will welcome you and transfer you to your lodge or camp.
After settling in and enjoying lunch, you’ll set out for your first game drive in the Masai Mara. This reserve is home to the famous Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffaloes—as well as cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and countless other species. The Mara’s open plains provide excellent visibility, making it a prime location for wildlife viewing and photography.
As the day ends, return to your accommodation for a delicious dinner. Enjoy the comfort of your lodge or camp while listening to the sounds of the African wilderness under a star-filled sky.
Day 2: Full Day in the Masai Mara
Your second day begins with an early morning game drive, the best time to witness animals at their most active. Spot predators like lions and leopards on the hunt or herds of elephants grazing in the golden morning light. If traveling during the Great Migration season, you may witness the dramatic river crossings as wildebeests and zebras brave crocodile-infested waters.
After a mid-morning break, return to your lodge for a hearty breakfast and some leisure time. You may choose to relax by the pool, take a guided nature walk, or visit a nearby Maasai village to learn about their vibrant culture and traditions.
In the afternoon, venture out for another game drive. The Masai Mara’s diverse habitats, including rivers, woodlands, and savannahs, ensure a wide variety of wildlife sightings. End the day with a sundowner in the bush, soaking in the breathtaking beauty of the Mara.
Day 3: Morning Game Drive and Return to Nairobi
On your final day, enjoy a morning game drive to capture any last-minute wildlife sightings. Afterward, savor breakfast before heading to the airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi. The short flight allows you to continue your Kenyan adventure or travel home with incredible memories of your Masai Mara safari.
