2-Day Maasai Mara Tour Package

Best Time to Visit:

Great Migration (Peak Season): July to October. Witness millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River. Expect higher prices and more crowds.

Green Season (Lower Prices, Fewer Crowds): November to June. Still excellent for wildlife viewing, especially for birds and newborn animals (January-March). The landscape is lush and green. Roads can be muddy during heavy rains (April-May).

Accommodation: The Maasai Mara offers a range of accommodation, from budget-friendly tented camps to luxurious lodges and private conservancy camps. Options include:

Inside the Reserve: Keekorok Lodge, Sarova Mara Camp, Mara Serena Safari Lodge, Governors' Camp, Little Governors' Camp.

Bordering/Near the Reserve: Basecamp Adventure, Osero Enarau Camp, AA Lodge Maasai Mara, Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp, Talek Bush Camp.

Private Conservancies (offer more exclusive experiences, walking safaris, night drives): Porini Lion Camp (Olare Motogori Conservancy), Mahali Mzuri (Olare Motorogi Conservancy), Richard's River Camp (Mara North Conservancy), Saruni Mara (Mara North Conservancy), Eagle View Camp (Naboisho Conservancy).

Transportation:

Road Safari: Most common. Typically involves a 5-6 hour drive from Nairobi in a safari minivan (less costly) or 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep (more comfortable, especially on rough roads).

Fly-in Safari: Fastest way to reach the Mara (about 1 hour from Nairobi's Wilson Airport). More expensive but maximizes time in the reserve and often includes game drives directly from the airstrip by the lodge/camp. Recommended for those with limited time or back problems.
