Best known as a “weekend outing”, this is the best short safari one can do with limited time and see most of what any safari has to offer. This short pre-booked safari departs daily from Nairobi. It visits the famous Masai Mara, the only park where you will see most of the wildlife including the Big 5 in the shortest time.

Early morning departure for a picturesque drive descending the Great Rift Valley and onwards to Masai Mara, Kenya's famous game reserve. (Drive time 5-6 hours). You will be in a private safari vehicle. You will stop briefly en route at the Great Rift Valley viewpoint to enjoy the stunning views of the largest Valley in the world, said to be visible from outer space. Arrive at your camp in Masai Mara for a leisurely lunch. Your afternoon game drive starts at 3.30pm, allowing spotting of the amazing wildlife in the reserve ranging from the Big Cats such as Lion, Leopard & Cheetah to Rhino, Elephant and Wildebeest. Our driver-guide will try his best to show you not just the ''Big Five'' animals but the ''Big Nine'' as well.

Return to your accommodation by 6.30 pm for dinner and overnight.
