The best time for game drives is typically during the early morning and late afternoon, as animals are generally more active during these cooler hours.

Game drives usually last around 3-4 hours, but full-day drives with a picnic lunch can also be arranged. We can also organise picnic breakfast while on game drive

We don't have fixed schedules, and the program for the next day will be discussed with your guides. Here's a tentative plan if you arrive by plane:

On your arrival day, assuming you arrive in the morning (flight departs 9:30 and arrives around  10:30), we will pick you up and transfer you to the camp. After check-in and briefing, you'll have lunch. Afternoon game drives start around 3:00 pm/3:30 pm, and you'll return to the camp early in the evening. Everyone must exit the Mara Triangle/official game drive reserve by 6pm pm, as game drives are not allowed from 6pm to 6am. You wil nee to have a valid Park Fee.
I fyou prefer we can organise other activities that do not require Park fees (horse rding, guided walks, Masai village visit, ....)

The next day, you can choose a full day game drive with a packed picnic lunch or an early morning game drive. We also organize bush breakfasts. For early game drives, you'll leave the camp around 5.45/6am after having coffee/tea and homemade biscuits/cakes, returning around 9:30/10am for breakfast. You'll go on an afternoon game drive later, depart around 3pm.

The program for the following day will be agreed upon and discussed with our manager and your guide the night before. You can also organize other activities such as guided walks/walking safaris, horse riding, school visits, spa treatments, massages, or hot bubble baths. You can also relax and enjoy our beautiful views.

These activities can be organized in advance or at the camp. We recommend letting us know in advance for smooth organization.

The best season and busiest season for game drives in the Masai Mara is typically from July to October when the Great Wildebeest Migration occurs.
