Day 1: Start your Nairobi to Masai Mara

Your Masai Mara safari begins with our representative collecting you from your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for transfer to Wilson Airport (domestic terminal). After check-in (please arrive one hour before departure), board your scheduled flight to Masai Mara. Please note the strict 15kg baggage limitation per passenger.

Upon arrival at the Masai Mara airstrip, your lodge’s professional driver-guide will welcome you and transfer you to Mara Serena Lodge in a 4×4 safari vehicle. This distinguished property offers exceptional panoramic views across the reserve. After lunch and a short rest period, embark on your first game drive at approximately 3:30 PM, exploring the reserve’s diverse ecosystems and encountering its remarkable wildlife. Return to the lodge by early evening (around 6:00-6:30 PM) for dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 2: Explore a Full Day in Masai Mara

Rise early for a 6:15 AM game drive – the optimal time to observe predators completing their nighttime hunts and herbivores at their most active. Return to the lodge for a leisurely breakfast followed by free time to enjoy the lodge facilities, including the swimming pool. The lodge offers various optional activities (at additional cost), including guided nature walks and cultural visits to Maasai villages.

After a sumptuous lunch, depart for your afternoon game drive, further exploring different sections of this vast reserve. The changing light conditions of late afternoon create perfect photography opportunities as animals become more active again. Return to the lodge by approximately 6:00 PM for cultural entertainment provided by the lodge (subject to schedule) and dinner.

Day 3: Masai Mara to Nairobi

Following breakfast and check-out, enjoy a final shortened game drive en route to the airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi. Upon arrival at Wilson Airport, our representative will meet you for transfer to your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward journey.

Excellent introduction to Kenyan safaris Enjoyed an exceptional customized tour of Amboseli NP with Twinkle Star tours. The owner, James, is a master of customer service. He responded promptly to my questions, checked in on me during my trip, and even personally delivered some Kenyan coffee to me at my hotel since I didn't have time to get it myself. Amboseli NP was excellent! I had some incredible wildlife sightings including elephant/lion interactions, my first cheetah, and incredible bird life. I also spent a couple of hours visiting a village of the amboseli masai, which was really interesting. My driver Daniel spoke english very well and was able to position the vehicle in just the right way to help me get some great shots of the wildlife. Great tour overall. Very pleased with my experience.

nice experience March is the good season for the visit, 3 days would have been more pleasant. the lodge was good (wood fire, super clean room, opposite a water point with elephants, hypopos, buffaloes etc. evening and morning => guaranteed amazement). Mosquito repellent cream in the evening. My driver was Daniel (effective) I recommend

Professional and friendly service My experience with the service and Omollo, the guide was very delightful. I recommend this service if you had very little time and wanted to make use of it to learn Kenya's history and culture.

Amazing week long luxury safari We had the most amazing custom experience with James and Twinkle Stars. We were taken care of from start to finish by experienced and friendly guides. We opted to combine Kenya and Tanzania but in hindsight would pick one or the other so as not to have to do so much travel. The Masai Mara is spectacular in January and we could have easily spent a week there.

Very pleased Toured with Twinkle Star during October 2023. 6 days, three hotels, one driver/guide. Each hotel was very different as were the sites. Accommodation ranged from very good to the nicest hotel ever. George knows the parks and the animals. He knows where they are and where they are going. I would use Twinkle Star/James again and would ask for George as my guide.
