On arrival in Nairobi, meet your driver-guide and begin with visits to the Giraffe Centre and the elephant orphanage, subject to your arrival time and advance reservations.
Learn about giraffe conservation and the care of rescued elephants before departing for the Maasai Mara. The road journey takes several hours, so an early arrival and efficient schedule are important. If your flight arrives late, the Nairobi visits may need to be rearranged or omitted.
Arrive at your lodge or camp in the evening, depending on traffic and road conditions. -

Enjoy another day exploring the Maasai Mara, with morning and afternoon game drives offering more opportunities to discover its diverse wildlife and landscapes.
