Itinerary

Day 1 - Nairobi to Mara North Conservancy

Your adventure begins with a morning departure from Nairobi. You will be picked up from your Nairobi Hotel and dropped off at Wilson Aiprort at 10:00 AM for a flight to Mara North Conservancy, enjoying spectacular aerial views as you fly over the Kenyan landscape. The flight takes approximately one hour, and you’ll arrive in Mara North Conservancy around 11:00 AM. Upon arrival, you’ll be met by your guide and transferred to your chosen camp. After check-in and a refreshing welcome drink, enjoy lunch at the camp and take some time to relax. In the afternoon, embark on your first shared game drive in Mara North Conservancy. The conservancy is known for its abundant wildlife, including the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinos.

After an exciting afternoon of wildlife viewing game drives, return to the camp at 5:3-6 PM for an evening of relaxation and dinner. Depending on your camp’s schedule, you may also have the opportunity to join a night game drive to witness the nocturnal activities of the bush.

Day 2 & 3 - Shared Game Drives in Mara North Conservancy

Wake up early to the sounds of the wild and head out for a morning game drive or a guided walking tour, depending on your camp’s offerings. Mara North Conservancy allows off-roading, giving you the chance to get closer to the animals and explore areas that are not accessible in the neighboring Masai Mara National Reserve. After the morning adventure, return to the camp for a hearty breakfast. The rest of the morning is yours to enjoy at leisure. After lunch, you can opt for another shared game drive, where you’ll have more opportunities to spot the Big Five and other wildlife. As the day winds down, you might have the chance to experience a night game drive, where you can see nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. Dinner will be served back at the camp, followed by an evening of relaxation.
