Day-by-day itinerary

Your trip expert can stretch, shorten or swap any day.

1. Day1

   Day 1: Arrival in Nairobi and onward to the Mara

   Land in Nairobi after your flight from India and meet your driver or representative. Connect to your light-aircraft or road transfer to the Mara, as shown in the itinerary. Flight timings from India vary, so your planner confirms the connection before you travel. Reach your camp in time for an afternoon game drive, and keep the evening for rest.

2. Day2

   Day 2: Early and afternoon game drives

   Start with an early-morning game drive, when animals are often active and the light is soft. Return to camp for breakfast and rest during the hottest hours. Head out again in the afternoon for a second drive. Your driver-guide chooses the routes on the day, so the plan follows the wildlife you see.

3. Day3

   Day 3: Full-day wildlife route

   Set out early for a full-day game drive across a wider part of the reserve. Your camp packs a picnic lunch for the middle of the day. Carry water, sun protection and a warm layer, because mornings are cool. Return to camp in the late afternoon and rest. Ask your planner for a rest stop if long drives tire you.

   Take a last morning game drive, then travel to your airstrip for the flight or road transfer back to Nairobi, as shown in the itinerary. Allow time for airstrip check-in and the drive to the gate. Your planner confirms your onward connection from Nairobi, so you have enough margin for the journey home.

Good to know

• Three nights is the shortest practical safari. Four or five nights gives more game drives.

• Flights from India to Nairobi are booked separately and usually have one connection.

• The light-aircraft transfer depends on airstrip schedules and weather, so your planner confirms the timing.

• Check the baggage allowance for the light-aircraft leg with your planner before you pack.

• Pack warm layers for early-morning drives, because mornings are cool.

• Check malaria-prevention advice and any health documents Kenyan authorities require before you travel.

• Reserve and conservancy fees are separate from the package unless your written quote lists them.

• Visa assistance is included, but the Kenya eTA fee and other visa fees are separate.

• Sightings cannot be promised, so the package is planned around game drives rather than one event.
