Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when booking this safari:
Day 1: Nairobi to Maasai Mara
Early Morning Pickup: The safari begins with a pickup from your Nairobi hotel or a designated meeting point around 6:00 AM. Polmans Holiday Tours ensures that transportation is smooth, providing comfortable, well-maintained safari vehicles for the group.
Scenic Drive through the Great Rift Valley: You’ll travel through the scenic Great Rift Valley, with an occasional stop for photo opportunities and refreshments along the way. The drive takes around 5-6 hours, providing ample time to enjoy Kenya's beautiful landscapes.
Lunch in Maasai Mara: After arriving in Maasai Mara, you'll head to your accommodation for a delicious lunch. The accommodations used by Polmans Holiday Tours are carefully selected, ranging from tented camps to mid-range lodges, offering comfort in the heart of nature.
Afternoon Game Drive: In the late afternoon (usually around 4:00 PM), your group will embark on the first game drive. This evening safari is a prime time for spotting wildlife as many animals are more active during the cooler hours. Expect to see animals such as lions, giraffes, zebras, and possibly leopards.
Dinner & Overnight Stay: After the game drive, you’ll return to your camp or lodge for dinner and spend the night surrounded by nature, relaxing before the next day's adventures.
Day 2: Full Day in Maasai Mara
Early Morning Game Drive: Polmans Holiday Tours will take you out early (around 6:00 AM) for another exciting morning game drive. This is a great time to catch predators like lions and cheetahs in action, especially during the “golden hour” of early morning light.
Breakfast at the Lodge: After your morning game drive, you'll return to your lodge for a delicious breakfast and some time to relax.
Midday Leisure or Optional Activity: During the midday heat, you’ll have some leisure time. You could choose to relax at your lodge or participate in optional activities, such as visiting a Maasai village to experience their culture or learning about traditional Maasai customs.
Lunch: Enjoy a delicious lunch at your accommodation, with stunning views of the Mara plains.
Afternoon Game Drive: After lunch, you'll head out on another exciting afternoon game drive. This is a great opportunity to spot more wildlife and, depending on the season, witness the Great Migration (typically from July to October), when millions of wildebeest and zebras move through the Mara in search of greener pastures.
Dinner and Overnight: After the day’s game drives, return to your camp for dinner and enjoy a relaxing evening before retiring for the night.
