YOUR ITINERARY
DAY 1
The adventure begins with a morning transfer from your hotel to Nairobi’s domestic Wilson Airport for your scenic flight into the Masai Mara. Landing in the heart of the Mara Triangle Conservancy roughly 45 minutes later, the plan is usually to meander to camp for check in & orientation followed by some lunch. We then ready ourselves for an afternoon safari, before returning to camp shortly after sunset, where fireside drinks & a memorable first dinner awaits.DAY 2 - 6
Regardless of whether you are joining our Great Migration Safari or Mara Experience Safari, the prime location of the Enkishui Camp makes it possible for us to explore the Mara Triangle at first light, and often allows us to spend some additional time out in the evenings, before having to return shortly after sunset. Typically we enjoy a packed breakfast whilst out on morning drive, maximising our time out in the field, before returning to camp for lunch. In saying that, there is also the option to take a packed lunch with us, to take advantage of the opportunity for a full day out on safari. Each day's schedule will be discussed with you by your guide & camp manager to ensure that we plan the best possible safari experience for you. There is also the opportunity for a sunrise hot air balloon safari over the plains of the Mara which typically takes place in the latter half of the 7-day tour.DAY 7
Following a shorter game drive on the last morning, guests will return to camp for the opportunity to freshen up before making our way to the Mara Serena airstrip for the return flight to Nairobi (departing circa 10:45). Upon arrival in Nairobi (approx 45 min flight) a short transfer will take the group back to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (or to the appropriate hotel if a day room has been booked), where the safari itinerary officially comes to an end. Onward international travel suggestions can be provided by our office on request.

A safari in Africa had been on my bucket list since university 30 years ago. I had high expectations of the trip but they were surpassed and this became the trip of a lifetime. Happy to recommend the Wild eye Mara Safari to anyone who wishes to do such a holiday.
