Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, you'll be warmly welcomed and escorted to your light aircraft for a scenic flight to Angama Mara. As you soar over the vast Masai Mara plains, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the iconic savannah landscape. Upon landing at Angama Mara’s private airfield, you'll be greeted and guided to your luxurious lodge, perched on a hill overlooking Kenya's Great Rift Valley. Check into your accommodation, where you’ll spend the next five nights in one of Angama Mara’s exclusive tented suites. After unpacking and settling in, take some time to explore the camp’s facilities, including the inviting swimming pool, or simply relax in your elegant suite. Later in the afternoon, embark on a gentle safari drive with a picnic lunch, making the most of the stunning surroundings. Your private safari vehicle and experienced ranger will ensure that you enjoy a personalized and unforgettable experience. While game drives are typically scheduled for early mornings and late afternoons, you have the flexibility to set your own schedule and embark on adventures at your convenience.

Start your day with a delightful picnic breakfast, preparing for a full-day safari in the renowned Masai Mara. This is an opportunity to immerse yourself fully in one of Africa’s premier game reserves and witness the spectacular wildlife that the Mara has to offer. For honeymooners or those seeking a romantic experience, Angama Mara offers an exceptional 'Out of Africa' picnic, providing a unique and intimate way to enjoy your surroundings. Your private guide will lead you to the most spectacular areas of the reserve for unparalleled game viewing, ensuring that you witness the wonders of the Great Migration, where up to 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and other grazers traverse the landscape in search of fresh feeding and mating grounds. Whether you're exploring the rich grasslands or spotting the diverse wildlife, your day is filled with extraordinary sights and moments. After an exhilarating day of game viewing, return to Angama Mara to relax and recount your adventures over a delicious dinner, reflecting on the day's incredible experiences.

Included in your safari is an unforgettable hot air balloon ride over the game-rich savanna of the Masai Mara, followed by a celebratory champagne breakfast. You can select the day that suits you best for this extraordinary experience. Here’s what you can expect: Your adventure begins before dawn, with freshly brewed tea or coffee delivered to your tented suite to help you start the day. After enjoying your morning beverage, you’ll embark on a leisurely drive to the launch site, set in the heart of the bush. As you arrive, watch in awe as the massive balloon is inflated, filling the sky with vibrant colors while you sip on your warm coffee. Following a brief pre-flight briefing, you’ll step into the basket and ascend into the early morning sky. As you float effortlessly above the Masai Mara, you’ll gain a unique perspective of the sprawling plains and its abundant wildlife, all bathed in the soft glow of sunrise. The serenity and breathtaking views offer a tranquil contrast to the lively scenes below. Once your flight concludes, you’ll descend back to earth and celebrate the morning’s adventure with a luxurious champagne breakfast under a tree, surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Mara’s wilderness. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, combining the thrill of a balloon ride with the elegance of a gourmet breakfast in the heart of nature.

After the exhilarating heights of yesterday’s hot air balloon ride, today offers a more grounded adventure. Start your day with an exciting walking safari guided by Angama Mara's Maasai naturalists along the edge of the Great Rift Valley. This immersive experience allows you to explore Kenya’s wild beauty on foot. Your spotter will be on the lookout for predators, while your guide provides insightful commentary on the diverse flora, fauna, and intricate details of the ecosystem, including the smaller animals and insects you encounter. For a different kind of exploration, you can take an in-depth guided tour of the lodge’s 1-acre kitchen garden. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to pick fresh produce for your lunch, which you can enjoy right in the garden, under the shade of towering moth trees. It’s a delightful way to connect with the land and savor the freshness of local ingredients. Alternatively, spend a few hours in the Library, perusing a collection of Africana books, or visit the Map Room to explore over 150 maps, including some custom-created for Angama Mara and others dating back to 1608. Whether immersing yourself in the natural world or delving into the rich history and culture, Day 4 offers a variety of enriching experiences at Angama Mara.

After your morning safari, you have a range of activities to choose from to make the most of your last full day at Angama Mara. Enhance your photography skills with expert guidance in the Photographic Studio. Bring your camera to capture stunning wildlife shots and learn from the professionals how to edit your photos to perfection. For those seeking relaxation, spend some time lounging by the pool, where you might even spot a zebra stopping by for a drink. Alternatively, get active with a workout in the Fitness Room, which offers a fantastic view of the surrounding landscape. If you're interested in local crafts, visit the Beading Studio adjacent to the Safari Boutique to learn the art of making exquisite jewelry from the Maasai mamas. For ultimate relaxation, consider booking a 60-minute massage after your safari excursion to soothe your muscles. If none of these activities appeal, simply unwind on your deck, lounging in the red rocking chairs, and take in the breathtaking views and roaming wildlife at your leisure. This day offers a perfect blend of activity and relaxation to round off your unforgettable safari experience.

On your final day, it's time to bid farewell to the Masai Mara and the exceptional team at Angama Mara.
