Celebrate Christmas on a 4-day premium Maasai Mara safari with private game drives, festive luxury lodging and iconic wildlife.
Our 4-Day Premium Christmas Under the Mara Stars offers couples, families and friends a memorable festive escape in Kenya’s most famous safari landscape. You will travel privately from Nairobi to Maasai Mara for an afternoon game drive, two full wildlife days and a final morning experience. Possible sightings include lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs and birds. Christmas decorations, special dinners, children’s activities, music or entertainment depend on the selected property and must be confirmed in advance. Festive supplements and limited room availability may apply, so early booking is strongly recommended.
