2 Days Premium Maasai Mara Birding and Wildlife Safari

Join a 2-day premium Maasai Mara birding and wildlife safari with private transport, luxury lodging, raptors and savannah animals.

Explore savannah, woodland and open skies while combining premium birdwatching with classic Mara wildlife.

Our 2-Day Premium Maasai Mara Birding and Wildlife Safari offers bird enthusiasts a private journey through one of Kenya’s richest savannah ecosystems. The road journey from Nairobi covers approximately 260–280 kilometres and normally takes five and a half to six and a half hours, depending on the route and lodge location. After arriving at your premium accommodation, you will enjoy lunch and an afternoon birding drive across open grassland, riverine woodland and seasonal wet areas. Depending on the time of year, you may observe raptors, vultures, storks, bustards, cranes, hornbills, rollers, larks and many smaller species. Our guide will also interpret lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest and antelopes encountered during the birding sessions. A second drive takes place during the cooler morning hours before breakfast and the return to Nairobi.

Birds and Big Five Wildlife

5/5

This was an excellent package for a couple with different interests. I concentrated on birds, while my husband was more interested in lions and elephants. Our guide balanced both interests naturally without making either of us feel overlooked. The private vehicle, comfortable camp and varied habitats made the short safari productive and enjoyable.

Relaxed Premium Mara Birding Experience

5/5

The private pace was ideal for birdwatching. We were never pressured to move before completing an identification or taking a photograph. Our guide was honest whenever a sighting was uncertain and used habitat and behaviour to narrow down possibilities. The camp was peaceful, food was excellent and the entire experience felt carefully organised.
