Enjoy lunch and as the day cools, unwind by a crackling bonfire and savor a delicious dinner under a blanket of stars.
DAY 2 - 4
Rise with the sun for thrilling morning game drives, encountering the diverse wildlife that thrives in the Masai Mara’s vast grasslands. In between adventures, return to camp for a refreshing midday break and lunch. Relax by the pool, catch up on reading, or simply soak in the captivating scenery. As afternoon temperatures dip, embark on another exciting game drive, keeping an eye out for predators stalking their prey. After Ameliya’s Signature sundowners amidst the golden hues of the setting sun, return to camp for fireside stories and a delectable dinner.
You’ll also have opportunities to embark on a guided walking safari, gaining a unique perspective of the surrounding ecosystem, or to learn about the fascinating Maasai culture through a visit to a neighboring community, or to opt for a thrilling night safari, searching for nocturnal creatures that come alive under the cloak of darkness.
Day 5
After a heartwarming breakfast, bid farewell to the Masai Mara, the animals, your camp, and your newfound safari friends (until your next adventure). Transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi International Airport.

Location
Masai Mara
Masai Mara, the land where iconic wildlife and fascinating cultures team up to provide every traveller with an unforgettable experience. This location offers a front-row seat to one of nature’s greatest spectacles – the Great Migration. Opt for a Hot-Air Balloon Safari and watch the sunrise unfurl across the endless plains, or visit local villages for a fascinating glimpse of traditional Maasai culture. The Mara is also suitable for wildlife viewing all year around even without the migrating herds, due to the high number of other herbivores and carnivores – none of which migrate. In the low seasons you witness the landscape drenched in greenery, newborns of antelope species and a high level of predator activity. Stay at a private conservancy and enjoy superb, crowd-free game viewing, off-roading and night drives which are otherwise not permitted in the park.
