Day One (Friday): We meet at 8:30am at Jivanjee Gardens, along the Moi Avenue and depart at 9am. We pass by the famous View Point whose panoramic view is Breathtaking. Here we will spend 15 minutes taking photos whilst appreciating the Great Rift Valley. We proceed and arrive in Narok town at 1pm. We will take lunch (own catering) then drive on. The Acacia Xanthoploea, Giraffes and Zebras welcome us to the Great Maasai Mara as we eventually arrive at the Sekenani Main Gate. We proceed to the Talek Gate then to our Campsite; Friends of Conservation and settle down in our well made Tents. After supper we will relax due to the long journey.

 Day Two (Saturday): We will begin our day with an early morning Game Drive at 6.30am (Optional). After the Game Drive, we will come back to the Campsite to have our Breakfast at 8.30am. Our cooks are well experienced and the meals will be Superb. After Breakfast we will go for a 30minutes Team Dynamics session to enhance harmony.

Thereafter, we will go to Obama Forest at Talek Centre for a Tree Planting Activity with the Community Members. Each one of us will plant at - least 1 Tree (one can even adopt the Tree and write his or her name). At 2pm, we will go for our “mouth watering” lunch at the Campsite. From 2:30pm to 4pm, we will have relaxation time as we enjoy the serenity of Maasai Mara.

In the evening we shall have a Game Drive and with luck, we will see a “Pride of Lions” at their hunting best! Beautiful Birds like the Ostrich, Secretary Bird, Lilac Breasted Roller, Petronia and Cisticola are in plenty for Bird Watching.

At 6pm, we will go back to our “new home” for dinner and overnight.

Day Three (Sunday): We will wake up at 7:30am for our Breakfast. At 8:30am will have our Game Drive enroute to Sekenani Centre. We will track various species of animals in the Famous Maasai Mara. We will visit the Hippo Point, Elephant Circuit and the Impala Circuit. Mara has a high cornucopia of the Herbivores and the Carnivores as well. Luck is essential though for spotting the Rhino which completes the “Big Five Family”.

At 10am we will go for a Clean Up activity at the Sekenani Centre. We will have our packed Lunch at 2pm at the Olowuaru site in the Park as we get intimately closer to Nature.

In the afternoon we will have a Game Drive enroute. Species in the Seventh Wonder of the World include the Black manned Lions, Wildebeest, Buffaloes, Cheetah, Giraffes, Impala, Hyenas, Kongoni, Turacos and Superb Sterling amongst others.

In the evening we shall visit the Maasai Village to get oriented with the Maasai Culture and buy local artifacts.

Guys will get a splendid chance to jump with the Morans to dances like the “Olowuaru”, “Enkesare” and “Emuratare” Dances. 

After supper, we will have our “Nyama Choma Party” over a Mesmerizing Bonfire (Bush Dinner). We will have quality time to mingle with the local Maasai over a well blended traditional drink which is mythical to have a healing effect on an “upset stomach”. 

Day Four (Monday): This is our final day in the National Reserve. We will wake up at 8am. We can’t leave the World Renown National Reserve without visiting the Buffalo Valley. The final lap Game Drive is of Prime importance since in Mara the Wildlife flourishes in its aesthetic splendor.
