4 Days Senior-Friendly Kenya Safari with Midrange Accommodations: Mara

Your senior-friendly Kenya safari begins with pickup from your Nairobi accommodation or airport before travelling approximately 270 kilometres to Maasai Mara. The journey takes around 5½ to 6½ hours, depending on traffic, road conditions and comfort stops. You will pass through Nairobi’s outskirts, the Great Rift Valley escarpment, highland farming areas, rural settlements and open savannah. Our guide will make regular stops for washrooms, refreshments and stretching. After lunch and check-in at your midrange lodge or camp, you will enjoy a gentle afternoon game drive lasting approximately 2 to 3 hours and covering around 20 to 40 kilometres through grassland and acacia savannah.

After breakfast, your Maasai Mara safari may operate as a full-day drive or as separate morning and afternoon drives, depending on the confirmed arrangement and guest preference. A full-day option lasts approximately 8 to 10 hours and may cover around 70 to 110 kilometres through open plains, riverine woodland, marshland and acacia-dotted grasslands. Our guide will maintain a comfortable pace, avoid unnecessary rough routes where alternatives are available and include suitable rest opportunities. You will search for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, antelopes and other wildlife before returning to your midrange accommodation.
