Nairobi to Masai Mara via the Great Rift Valley

Spot cheetahs scanning the plains from termite mounds, tree-climbing leopards, and majestic elephant families.
Sunrise Balloon Safari (Optional) & Maasai Cultural Village
Optional pre-dawn departure for a Hot Air Balloon flight over the awakening Mara plains, drifting silently above grazing herds as sunrise paints the sky in amber.
