All the tents have hot and cold running water, a flush toilet, 24 hour solar lighting and tasteful décor.
Day 2 - 3: Full day game drives in Masai Mara
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Mara Eden safari camp
Today you will have a full day of game drives ahead. Before sunrise you will try to spot different predators that might made a kill last night. You will return for breakfast at the camp while the sun rises over the game reserve.
You can decide to take a packed lunch for a full day game drives or come back at the camp for a hot lunch. The secret on sighting a lot of animals is to do different game drives on different time and areas for the highest success rate.
After this exciting day you will come back to the camp where you can relax with a cold drink on your veranda with a view of the Mara river!
Day 4: Domestic flight to Nairobi
After a cup of tea or coffee you will go for an early morning game drive to see lions, hyenas or other predators eating after a successful hunt. When even your stomach is growling, you come back to the camp for breakfast. After breakfast you can do another game drive until lunch time.
Then it is unfortunately time to leave this beautiful game reserve and fly back to Nairobi.
In the afternoon the driver/guide of the camp will take you to the airstrip from where your flight will depart at 4.15 p.m. back to Nairobi. Around one hour later you will arrive at Wilson Airport. Our representative will be waiting at Wilson airport to transfer you to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in time for your international flight home.
Please note that your international flight must be in the evening after 7 PM. If you need an extra night in Nairobi please contact us and we will make arrangements for you at an additional cost.
This is the end of hopefully a wonderful tour through Kenya.
A sustainable program for Kenyan families
While there are many wealthy areas in Nairobi, other districts are home to low-income and disadvantaged families and children, and the grinding poverty they endure is very challenging and bad for their health. Through our relationship with the Social Services and Housing Department of the Nairobi City County, One Horizoninitiates sustainable development programs in needy communities, and today you will help to prepare and serve a hearty and nutritious Kenyan lunch at a children’s feeding centre or ‘soup kitchen’.We provide humanitarian teams to work alongside the Kenyans who take ownership of these programs and you'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kenyans who warmly welcome you into their community.
You will have a fun and energetic day filled with children’s laughter, and you will pitch in with the chores like peeling and chopping fresh fruit and vegetables and cooking lunch of beans and ugali (a maize flour dish eaten across East Africa). You’ll share the lunch with the kids and have the opportunity to talk to them about their schooling and lifestyles, and you’ll discover that they are just interested about you as you are about them. This is a uniquely personal hands-on experience and travellers meet a grassroots community that they would never typically interact with on a Kenyan holiday. And it is immensely satisfying to know that by donating your tour fees and precious time, you are part of alleviating the problems of poverty in Kenya.
