5 Day Maasai Mara Big Cat Safari
Masai Mara
Rhino & Migration Safari
Begin your Kenyan adventure where city and savannah meet. You’ll visit the famed Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant & Rhino Orphanage, witnessing the tireless care that goes into rescuing and rehabilitating young pachyderms and experience game drive in Nairobi National Park, where black rhino, lions, and elusive leopard roam acacia thickets just minutes from your arrival gate, offering an extraordinary first taste of the wild.
A scenic flight whisks you southwest to the Masai Mara where your home for four nights is positioned within the Ripoi Conservancy, a 22,000 acre wildlife conservancy. By day, venture out in custom 4×4 vehicles with Maasai guides who read the land like an open book—tracking elephant herds, patrolling predator territories, and pausing for picnic breakfasts beside meandering rivers. Night drives reveal a different cast of characters: aardwolves, civets, and stalking lions illuminated under the stars.
Guided bush walks add a slower, sensory layer to the experience, bringing you eye‑level with tiny wonders often missed from a vehicle.
This six‑day safari is perfect for first‑time explorers or seasoned safari‑goers seeking an effortlessly immersive journey into Kenya’s wild soul.
