Join a 2-day Maasai Mara birdwatching safari from Nairobi, featuring guided birding, varied savannah habitats, iconic wildlife and midrange accommodation.
Explore Kenya’s remarkable birdlife on this 2-day midrange Maasai Mara birdwatching safari from Nairobi. With afternoon and early-morning game drives, you will visit open grasslands, riverine areas and scattered woodland while our guide helps identify raptors, ground birds, water-associated species and colourful savannah birds. The package also offers opportunities to see lions, elephants, giraffes and other classic Mara wildlife while enjoying comfortable midrange accommodation.
Our guide will pick you up from Nairobi and begin the drive toward Maasai Mara National Reserve, sharing information about Kenya’s landscapes and birdlife along the route. After arriving at your midrange lodge or tented camp, you will check in and have lunch before entering the reserve for an afternoon birdwatching safari. You will explore grassland, woodland and riverine habitats while looking for raptors, rollers, hornbills, starlings, lapwings and larger ground-dwelling birds. Our guide will also help you observe mammals encountered during the drive, making this a rewarding combination of birding and classic wildlife viewing. You will return to your accommodation in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.
You will leave early for the final game drive when birds are often more vocal and active. During our Maasai Mara birdwatching safari, our guide will scan trees, grasslands, water points and the open sky for resident and seasonal species while allowing time for identification and photography. You may also encounter elephants, giraffes, antelopes, lions or other wildlife as the reserve comes to life. After completing the morning birding session, you will have breakfast or enjoy a packed meal before beginning the journey back to Nairobi. Our guide will drop you off at your hotel or agreed location, marking the end of your two-day birdwatching package.

Wear comfortable clothing in neutral colours such as olive, brown, grey or beige. A hat, light jacket and closed shoes are useful for changing temperatures.
