3 DAY SAFARI FROM DIANI BEACH FLY MASAI MARA

Meals: Lunch & Dinner 4:00 It’s safari time! Hidaya Africa Tours & Travel will be by early to bring you to the Mombasa Airport. Buckle into your Kenya Airlines flight to Nairobi for the 5:00 am take off. This short one-hour flight will bring you over Kenya’s landscapes as the African sunrise lights up the vast fields below. In no time you’ll be in Nairobi where you’ll be welcomed by your guide in a 4 x 4 Land Cruiser Jeep, joining the group tour. Now we’re off to the Masai Mara through the Great Rift Valley. We’ll make stops along the way to rest, refresh, and check out the towering escarpments gracing the landscape. We’ll get to the Mara in time for lunch at your accommodation, where you can plan out your day with your guide. For the next three days your group and your guide can experience unlimited game drives over the Mara’s hills and fields, tracking for big cats, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, antelope, and so much more. Toward evening we’ll return to your Mara safari lodge or tented camp for dinner and stories of our first safari day.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner We’ll be up early to get this safari started. Pile into the 4 x 4 to run over the hills and through the bush tracking for lions, cheetahs, hyenas, gazelle, eland, topi, and the vast birdlife populating the park. We’ll head down to the Mara River, site of the Migration crossing. Here you’ll witness an invasion of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more wildlife streaming in from the Serengeti. Waiting for them in the river are crocodiles and then on the welcoming bank, all kinds of big cats and other predators. It can be a scene of great expression – all the drama of the natural world playing out before you. Expand your safari with several optional outings – visit a nearby Maasai village and get to meet these local people, learn about their culture, and perhaps pick up some of their beaded handiwork. For more airborne drama, sign up for the optional pre-dawn hot air balloon safari over the park. As the rising sun lights up the fields below, you’ll see the park come alive with the new day, the wildlife emerging over the fields and hills. It’s an unforgettable moment. We’ll spend our second safari night at your Mara accommodation.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch Last safari day so let’s hit the trail and see if we can find more giraffe, rhino, and big cats. Then it’s time to take to the road. On our journey, we’ll have a relaxing lunch stop amidst the scenery of the Great Rift Valley. Back in Nairobi, we’ll hop aboard our plane for the quick flight back to Mombasa, our last opportunity to view the beauty of the Kenya landscape. 18:30 hrs. (6:30 pm) Fly out on Kenya Airways 19:30 hrs. (7:30 pm) Arrive at Mombasa Airport At the airport, an Hidaya Africa Tours & Travel driver will meet you for the ride back to your Diani Beach or other resort hotel. Kenya by air – what a way to see the country. The only thing better was your close-up safari on the ground. We hope you enjoyed the Masai Mara and got to collect some dramatic memories. From the team at Hidaya Africa Tours & Travel, thanks for your time and trust. We hope to see you again soon!
