Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
When you arrive in Nairobi, you will be met by a travel professional who will provide you with a quick summary of your safari itinerary. Then you'll be driven to Wilson Airport to catch a flight to Masai Mara. Your driver will greet you warmly when you arrive at the local airfield and transfer you to the Governors' Il Moran Camp. You'll be greeted with cold refreshments and escorted to your tent at the camp. After a delicious lunch, take a little rest. Set off on your first game drive around the conservancy. For dinner, return to the tent and relax in the African wilderness.
Get up early for a nice hot coffee to give you energy for your first-morning game drive. Elephants, giraffes, zebras, Thomson's gazelles, and impalas are among the herbivores that frequent the area in search of water and grazing. Bird viewing, guided hill walks, farm activities, cultural trips, and fishing are all options. In the afternoon, you will go on a game drive in the woods. You can also set up a sundowner for an additional fee. Before dinner, return to the camp for a relaxing bath.
Begin your day with a full breakfast before heading to the Masai Mara National Reserve, where you will spend the day exploring the wilderness. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bushes and use the rest of your time to explore the rest of the reserve. Inquire with your tour guide about the famed Mara River, where the legendary wildebeest crossing takes place, which is featured in countless nature documentaries.

We had an amazing trip. The accommodations of our hotel first 3 nights and the accommodations of the ship were perfect. Our guides were amazing. They went snorkeling with us everyday and took amazing pictures and pointed out various species of fish. On the land adventures, they explained everything about the islands and animals that we were looking for and seeing. They also took amazing photos and videos that they shared with us in a whats app group with the entire ship. This gave us the ability to upload our own video and pictures along with other shipmates so we all got these great photos from everyone. It was a once in a lifetime trip that left us with many amazing memories and very possible we would consider going back.
