AVL 1: 1½ Days Maasai Mara – Lodge
 
Day 1: Nairobi/Maasai Mara
You will be picked up from your Hotel or residence at 0730 hrs.
Leaving Nairobi in the morning, we drive down the escarpment (stopping en-route to view the Great Rift Valley) into and across the floor of the Great Rift Valley and on to the Maasai territory – The Maasai Mara Conservancy and Game Reserve. Arrive in time for lunch and thereafter, enjoy an afternoon game drive.  The reserve is famous for its big game and is an extension of the northern part of Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Dinner and overnight in a lodge or tented camp (depending on your choice and availability) – The Mara Serena Lodge, Sarova Mara Lodge (Tented Camp), or similar
Day 2: Maasai Mara/Nairobi
Enjoy an early morning game drive in this Kenya’s premier reserve.
Maasai Mara Game Reserve: The rolling grasslands of the Maasai Mara offer ideal game viewing and photographic opportunities and the grassy plains are broken by rocky outcrops which are favorite midday resting places for Lion. This is where millions of Wildebeest cross the Mara River from the Serengeti National park of Tanzania to the Maasai Mara Game Reserve of Kenya - an annual spectacular event, which brings along thousands of plains game and predators to the Mara, making the park a beehive of ‘wildlife activities’.  
Some of the other animals that could be found here include elephant, black rhino, buffalo, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest, zebra and gazelle. Hippo and crocodile abound in the muddy brown waters of the rivers, which traverse this reserve.

After breakfast return to Nairobi to arrive late in the afternoon – drop off your Hotel or residence (Kindly note that: lunch on this day is NOT included in the package deal unless otherwise arranged – we can help you arrange this on request)

Brief Hotels’ description:

Mara Serena Safari Lodge set on the saddle of a hill, overlooks the 1800 square km of the rolling plains, woodlands and rivers that make-up the Maasai Mara triangle – one of the worlds’ richest wildlife sanctuaries. No other lodge can boast such a spectacular of the surrounding landscape, game and birdlife. It is on this very much terrain stretching endlessly before the lodge where the annual migrations take place, when millions of Wildebeest, Zebra and gazelle transverse the landscape to feed on the rich new grass and give birth to their young. Accommodation is in 71 rooms all overlooking the plains below. Additional features include a floodlit swimming pool, poolside barbeque massage and beauty treatment, a water hole (where animals come to salt-lick), hippo pool breakfasts, musical Evenings, Maasai dances, wildlife films, resident naturalist lectures and game drives among others.

Mara Sarova Lodge is Located on the Eastern side of the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve, close to the Sekenani Gate. The camp is set on an elevation surrounded by two streams. The grounds are beautifully laid out with trees and plants, and electrical fences surround the lodge. Accommodation is in 75 bed rooms (72 twin rooms and 3 triples), each of which is a luxurious tent. Each room has a permanent shower and WC, and permanent roof and zip-up front. Facilities here include Isokon Restaurant (with two sections, one internal and one external with a canopy) where guests are served with meals, Oloip Bar (with a cosy log fire place), and a swimming pool surrounded by comfortable sun-loungers.  Guests are welcomed to this cool and clean camp with a glass of chilled fruit juice, and entertained in the evenings by traditional dancers.
