Christmas Safari - 3 Days Masai Mara Christmas Safari Deals and Packages 2025

Masai Mara Christmas Safari Packages Detailed Itinerary  

We offer the best Masai Mara packages for residents and non-residents to ensure you enjoy your December to the fullest. 

Day 1: Pick Up from Nairobi, Transfer to Mara, and Evening Game Drive

If it’s a chauffeur you need, a chauffeur you’ll get. We are men and women of many hats. Your designated safari guide does all the hard work for you, the day’s first task being the six-hour drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara.

Now, show us a ride more scenic, and we’ll show you a lie. With the drive comes a brief stop at the breathtaking Great Rift Valley viewpoint and parts of the countryside you never thought your Instagram needed.

You get to Masai Mara at noon, and the guide checks you into your lodge or camp. Here is the thing, some of us prefer to battle car fatigue in the comfort of our hotel beds. If this is you, by all means, have a blast.

Others prefer to keep the adrenaline pumping with an evening game drive. Although quieter than the morning game drive, evening game drives allow a sundowner experience of beautiful Mara.

This is also the time to spot herbivores such as buffaloes, elephants, gazelles, warthogs, giraffes, and topi as they return to their sleep quarters.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive at Masai Mara National Reserve 

There are different perspectives on the Masai Mara, and sunrise is arguably the best. You embark on our morning game drive just before dawn because we want that first ray of the December sun to hit when you are already inside the park.

The scenery is terrific at this time, the quiet merging with the green to create the perfect wildlife viewing ambiance. Be on the lookout for cheetahs, leopards, and lions, for morning means hunting time for these predators.

Other exciting spots are elephants, zebras, hippos, buffaloes, rhinos, monkeys, and antelopes.

You will have carried your packed lunch because today plans to have a full day of game drives. This will enable you to venture deep into the Mara, and as the Christmas sun gets hot, soon it will be noon. 

That’s the time to have your picnic lunch under the shade in the open grasslands of the Mara. Do not be scared to venture out of your car. Your guide is professional, and you will be safe with him.

After the packed lunch, you dive deep into the park, looking to spot rarities such as the often elusive leopards, rhinos, and more. You will likely have spotted lions, leopards, elephants, cheetahs, and other big cats and big 5 clan members by the end of the day.
