Visiting Masai Mara

About 2 Days Masai Mara Safari Kenya

  • Wildlife viewing
  • Maasai cultural experience

The 2 days Safari takes you to Kenya’s popular National Park known as the Maasai Mara National Reserve. In only 2 days, you will be able to tick off this from your bucket list. Maasai Mara derives its name from the ‘Maasai’ natives and the River ‘Mara’. Mara River makes its way through the park and hence providing water to wildlife.

The Maasai Mara lies within the Great Rift Valley and is situated in the southwestern region of Kenya. It covers an area of 1,510km2 with a diverse ecosystem connected to Tanzania’s Serengeti. The park is home to the Big 5, different birds as well as other various wildlife species. It is also well known for the remarkable Great wildebeest migration sights and experiences, this is when over 1.5 million wildebeests, zebras and gazelles migrate from Serengeti to this Park in search for safety, food and water.

This 2 days safari to Maasai Mara is designed for those who don’t have much time in Kenya but would love to experience sometime in the wild and we promise that these 2 days can become your most memorable days ever.

Why travel with Tranquil Safaris?

116 itineraries are published on this site, across 12 destinations; 49 of them run through Uganda, where the company is based and licensed. Any one of them can be read in full — the route, the parks, the nights — before you speak to anybody. What follows is the case for using us, and not one line of it asks you to take our word for it.

  1. The whole trip is written down first

    Every trip of four days or more is set out one day at a time: where the day goes, what happens in it, where the night is spent. The one-, two- and three-day trips are written up in full as prose instead. Nothing is held back until you enquire.

    Read the itineraries
  2. A park is named only when a day is spent in it

    A trip is listed against a park because its itinerary genuinely spends time there, never because the name turns up in the write-up. 40 parks and reserves are covered on that rule, and each one lists the trips that actually go.

    Browse parks and reserves
  3. Small groups, or the vehicle to yourself

    Groups are kept small — typically four to twelve guests — and a private departure can be arranged instead.
