Trip Notes

Please keep the following in mind

Travel across Nairobi and the Masai Mara involves varied terrain, changing weather conditions, and long road transfers. While every journey is carefully planned, unexpected events such as heavy rain or temporary road conditions may require minor adjustments. Your safety and comfort will always be our top priority.

If delays occur due to weather or park regulations, any additional expenses outside the planned itinerary, such as extra hotel nights or meals, will be the responsibility of the traveler. We will, however, assist with all arrangements and ensure guides and drivers are fully supported.

Wildlife sightings are natural experiences and cannot be guaranteed. Our expert guides will do their best to maximize your opportunities at every location. Early mornings and long game drives are part of the authentic safari experience.

We recommend keeping some flexibility in your schedule before and after the safari to allow smooth travel planning, especially if you have international flight connections.

Despite any minor adjustments, you can expect high-quality service, professional guiding, and a memorable safari experience throughout your journey.
