Itinerary

Day 1 Arrive in Nairobi where you will be transferred to Wilson Airport to catch a 45-minute flight to Masai Mara. If you have a late-night flight or an early morning arrival, we can arrange for your accommodation in Nairobi to unwind and relax before your departure to Masai Mara at an extra cost (enquire upon booking). Your Masai guide will meet you at the airstrip and transfer you to our camp in Masai Mara with a short game drive en-route. Basecamp Masai Mara sits on a picturesque bend along the Talek River in one of the most game-rich areas of the Masai Mara Reserve. Enjoy lunch and make plans to settle in for the rest of the afternoon. Your late afternoon will be spent exploring the Masai renowned for the great wildebeest migration and abundant wildlife including the Big Five. Head back in the evening in time for a delicious three-course dinner, followed by story sharing and stargazing around the fireplace. When you are ready, retire to your tent to be lulled to sleep by the sounds of the wilderness. Day 2 Wake at dawn for an early morning game drive safari. Witness how the savannah springs to life during sunrise. The open rolling savannah grassland of the Mara is home to numerous wildlife species. Enjoy phenomenal sightings of the bush as nature teems with diverse animals. Later have your picnic breakfast overlooking the Mara plains before returning to camp. Wind up your afternoon game drive safari watching the sunset over Mara plains, with a Basecamp sundowner. At camp, dinner is served in the restaurant, and you will be treated to stories of the bush around the campfire. Reflect on all the amazing things you have seen and learned, despite the briefness of your stay. Day 3 Today head out on a camp walk, visit some of the community projects supported by Basecamp including the Enjoolata Awareness Centre where we invite all guests to an exciting learning experience about the Maasai Culture. The center houses various facilities including exhibition halls, video editing rooms, a library, the Basecamp Masai Brand workshop all aiming at highlighting the rich blend of the Maasai culture and enhance safari experience for our guests. After lunch say your goodbyes and your guide will drive you to the airstrip. Arrive at the airstrip in time to catch your flight to Nairobi for your international departure and the conclusion of your wonderful safari adventure!
