For travellers with limited time, a 2-day 2-Day Maasai Mara Weekend Safari is the quickest way to experience Kenya’s most famous reserve without giving up a full week. Departing Nairobi early in the morning, this 2-Day Maasai Mara Weekend Safari gets you into the reserve for two proper game drives before returning to the city the following evening. The Kenya Wildlife Service oversees conservation across the wider Mara ecosystem.
Itinerary
This itinerary suits travellers on a short stay in Nairobi, a stopover between flights, or anyone who wants a taste of the Mara before deciding whether to come back for longer.
Day 1 – Nairobi to Maasai Mara
Depart Nairobi by road at around 7:00 am, arriving in the Maasai Mara by early afternoon after a scenic drive through the Great Rift Valley. After lunch at your camp, head straight out on your first game drive, tracking the reserve’s resident lion prides, elephant and, depending on the season, the wildebeest migration. Overnight at a tented camp or lodge inside or on the border of the reserve.
Day 2 – Morning Game Drive & Return to Nairobi
An early breakfast is followed by a final game drive while the morning light is best for photography and wildlife is most active. After brunch back at camp, begin the drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the early evening.
