Overview
This 4 days/3 night experience embraces all that is exciting about wildlife safaris in Kenya. The Maasai Mara is the doyen of all Kenya’s wildlife areas and has the greatest diversity of wildlife in Africa. Of course, the mass migration of wildebeest is perhaps the best-known migration of animals anywhere in the world. Yet much more than this are the incredible experiences of people on safaris that come from all over the world through the year. They are never disappointed with what they experience. And the base for this safari is the Ashnil Mara Camp which is a great base from which to explore.
A Wildlife Safari in the Masai Mara
From Nairobi you will head off for 4-day wildlife safari in the Maasai Mara. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is an area of 1500 square kilometres of savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, which runs along the Tanzanian border. Its animals include lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras, and hippos. Wildebeest traverse its plains during their annual migration. The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers and the area is dotted with villages of Maasai people.
On this 4-day excursion your days will be spent in morning and evening game drives, and in between, learning all about the local environment and eco systems which sustain the wildlife. The Masai Mara is on many people’s bucket list and an experience you will remember for life.

Itinerary
4 Days/3 Nights of Incredible Wildlife Safaris
Flying to the Masai Mara & Ashnil Mara Camp
Mid-morning, you will head off to Wilson Airport for the 45-minute flight to the Masai Mara and the incredible camp ASHNIL MARA.
Upon arriving at the airport strip in Nanyuki you will transfer to a 4-wheel drive vehicle for your trip to the camp. And along the way you will see some of the amazing wildlife that call the Mara home. Ashnil Mara Camp, with 50 luxury tents, is in the Masai Mara National Reserve and close to the Mara River, famous for the wildebeest migration.
The luxury Masai Mara camp is arguably in one of the very best positions in the Masai Mara for game viewing and also provides the perfect setting to sit and relax at the end of an exciting day of game drives.
But as soon as you have arrived and settled in, its off on a game drive accompanied by your driver/guide who can provide every detail about the wildlife you will see.
The game drive experiences will delight you as your guide will take you to the places that game frequent.
The bush telegraph between the drivers is amazing and they alert each other to where the game is all happening.
And whether you ‘game it’ all day or for just an hour or so, ASHNIL camp welcomes you back each day. With a great pool and delicious food. It is an incredible experience in every way and it’s the ultimate retreat. A place to reflect on the day’s activities and what you have seen.
