Kenya’s capital city has risen in a single century from a brackish uninhabited swampland to a thriving modern capital.

Modern Nairobi is still the safari capital of the Africa, but the modern world has quickly caught up with the city. A frontier town no more, Nairobi is one of Africa’s largest, and most interesting cities.

Nairobi is a city that never seems to sleep. The entire town has a boundless energy, and is thriving place where all of human life can be found. This is a place of great contrasts where race, tribe and origin all become facets of a unique Nairobi character. The city has not lost its sense of the past, with an excellent museum and the historical home of Karen Blixen, author of Out of Africa open to visitors. This is not a modern capital separated from the great wilderness that surrounds it. Just outside the city is Nairobi National Park, 113 sq. kms of plains, cliffs and forest. The park is home to large herds of zebra, Wildebeest, Buffalo, Giraffe and more. Rhino, Cheetah, and a large number of Lions are all found here, living wild within 20 minutes of the centre of town.

 

 Ibis Styles Nairobi Westlands is in a business location in Nairobi. This recently built 280-room hotel is near the city's central business district and local business parks.

Day 2
NAIROBI TO MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

Breakfast will be served at your town hotel. Today, you will proceed for Masai Mara Game Reserve arriving at your camp in time for lunch. You will have some time at leisure before proceeding to explore Masai Mara on our first game drive, getting a taste of what this legendary game park has to offer!

 

Masai Mara Game Reserve covers over 700 square miles of magnificent wilderness. It is the Africa of the imagination; endless reaches of acacia-dotted grasslands studded with hazy hills. Be on the lookout hoping to see Lions in large prides, Elephants, Buffalos, Zebras and numerous plain animals.

 

This afternoon you will visit the traditional Maasai Manyatta for cultural experience. Return later in the evening to the camp for dinner and overnight at Mara Duma Bush Camp

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner 

Mara Duma Bush Camp is a luxurious camp located in the depths of Masai Mara, right outside Talek Gate . Mara Duma Bush Camp is a balance between nature, and luxury.

Day 3
MASAI MARA GAME RESERVE

This day will be spent game viewing in Kenya's finest wildlife park, the Masai Mara National Reserve in search of Africa's Big Five and the plethora of other wildlife inhabiting this vast Kenyan game reserve.

 

On clear days, the Masai Mara offers fantastic orange tinged sunset’s well-worth capturing on camera. The Masai Mara Game Reserve has incredible wide-open landscapes and fertile riverine woodland following the looping meanders of the Mara and Talek rivers in Kenya. One glimpse is enough to explain its appeal; it is classical open savannah, with a mass of amazing wildlife. Wherever you go in the vast Masai Mara you will see an abundance of wildlife such as Masai giraffe, baboons, warthogs, bat eared foxes, grey jackals, spotted hyena, topis, impala, hartebeests, wildebeest. Elephants, buffaloes, zebras and hippos are also found in great numbers. It is also common to see lions either basking after a heavy meal or surveying the wild plains for their next meal. Cheetahs and leopards are harder to spot but reasonably common. The ultimate action here is, without doubt, the annual wildebeest exodus, the Great Migration, in July and August when millions of these grass eaters move north from the Serengeti in search of lusher grass before turning south again in October.

 

Hot-air balloon trips are an entirely outstanding way of seeing the savannah plains teeming with wildlife. These Masai Mara balloon trips can be arranged at extra cost.

You will then visit Kazuri Beads Factory which was started to help women around Nairobi with regular employment so that they could support their families and educate their children. Meet the women and chat with them about their lives as they work. The jewellery also makes great gifts!
