3 Days
The operator’s shortest Mara trip, driven rather than flown: a 7:30am pickup in Nairobi, the descent through the Great Rift Valley escarpment with viewpoint stops, and arrival in the reserve around lunchtime. Day two is given entirely to game drives, and the page flags that visitors travelling between July and October may catch wildebeest crossing the Mara River. A Maasai village visit and a balloon flight are both offered as options rather than fixed items. Insight notes that the lodges named are examples and can be adjusted to suit budget, and publishes no price. One inconsistency worth knowing: the page’s details panel reads 4 Days while the title, the day-by-day and the closing line all describe a three-day trip.
Overview
Three days in the Masai Mara reached by road through the Rift Valley escarpment, with optional balloon and village add-ons and river crossings if the timing falls right.
