Your Christmas safari begins with an early morning departure from Nairobi. Drive through the scenic Great Rift Valley before arriving in the Masai Mara in time for lunch.

After checking into your safari lodge or camp, head out on your first afternoon game drive. As the temperatures cool, wildlife becomes more active, offering excellent opportunities to spot lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and many other animals.

Return to the lodge for dinner and spend your first night surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.

After an early breakfast, enjoy a full-day game drive across the vast plains of the Masai Mara with a picnic lunch in the reserve.

Your experienced safari guide will take you to some of the park’s best wildlife viewing areas while sharing fascinating insights about the animals, birds, and ecosystem. Although the Great Migration has usually moved back into Tanzania, you can still enjoy outstanding resident wildlife. If seeing river crossings is your priority, consider our Great Wildebeest Migration Safari.

During the festive season, many lodges create a special Christmas atmosphere with seasonal meals and evening celebrations.

Enjoy one final early morning game drive before breakfast.

This is one of the best times to spot predators returning from their night hunts while the golden sunrise illuminates the Mara plains.

After breakfast, begin your journey back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon with unforgettable Christmas safari memories.
