The Maasai Mara National Reserve is the Kenya safari most travellers picture first: rolling savannah, scattered acacia and wildlife on a scale that is hard to find anywhere else. Our Maasai Mara Classic Safari is planned as a three-day, two-night road safari from Nairobi, which gives you two full game-viewing days without the cost of internal flights. Spot Kenya Tours and Safaris arranges the vehicle, driver-guide, reserve entry, meals and lodge or tented-camp accommodation so you can concentrate on the animals.<\/p>\n
The Mara is home to lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, buffalo, hippo and large herds of zebra, topi and giraffe. Between roughly July and October the reserve is known for the wildebeest migration and the Mara River crossings, although timing shifts with the rains and no operator can promise a crossing on a particular day. Outside those months resident wildlife is still excellent and the reserve is often quieter.<\/p>\n
Day one is the drive from Nairobi through the Rift Valley to the reserve, with an afternoon game drive on arrival. Day two is a full day in the reserve: an early drive, a lunch break and a late-afternoon drive when the light is best for photography. Day three is a final morning drive before the return journey. The road between Narok and the reserve gate can be rough, so we use 4×4 safari vehicles with pop-up roofs.<\/p>\n
A Maasai village visit and a sunrise hot-air balloon flight can be added on request. Both are priced separately and depend on availability. The itinerary can also be stretched to four or five days, or combined with Lake Nakuru or Amboseli.<\/p>\n
July to October suits the migration, January to March is dry and good for predator sightings, and the long rains of April and May bring lower rates and fewer vehicles but muddier tracks.<\/p>\n
First-time safari travellers, couples, families with children who can manage a long drive on the first and last day, and photographers who want time in the field.<\/p>\n
The price shown is a guide per adult sharing a twin room, based on a mid-range lodge or tented camp and current non-resident park fees. Lodge tier, peak-season supplements and single-room supplements change the final quote, which we confirm before any payment is taken. Tips, drinks and visas are not included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
