Discover the Wonders of a Kenyan Safari: Daily Highlights

Embarking on a African safari in Kenya is a unique experience that blends adventure, wildlife encounters, and breathtaking landscapes, leaving an indelible mark on every traveler. Here's what a typical day with Drunken Elephant Mara might look like:

Early Morning Wake-Up Call

Your day begins before dawn, around 5:30 AM, with a gentle wake-up call. This early start allows you to witness the mesmerizing sunrise and see wildlife during their most active period. After a quick cup of coffee or tea, you head out for your morning game drive.

Morning Game Drive

As the sun rises, painting the sky in shades of orange and pink, you venture into the savannah. The crisp morning air is filled with the sounds of nature waking up. Your experienced guide from Drunken Elephant Mara navigates the terrain, bringing you close to the Big Five – lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalo. Spotting a pride of lions on the hunt or a herd of elephants grazing peacefully is an unparalleled thrill.

Breakfast in the Bush

After an exhilarating game drive, a sumptuous bush breakfast awaits. Often set under the shade of an acacia tree, this al fresco meal includes a variety of delicious options, from fresh fruits to hearty eggs and sausages. The serene environment provides the perfect backdrop to reflect on the morning's sightings.



Mid-Morning Relaxation

After breakfast, you return to your lodge or camp for some leisure time. This is the perfect opportunity to relax, take a dip in the pool, or enjoy a spa treatment. Drunken Elephant Mara ensures that their lodges offer top-notch amenities to enhance your comfort and relaxation.

Lunchtime Delights

Lunch is served at the camp or lodge, featuring a delectable spread of local and international cuisine. The chefs at Drunken Elephant Mara use fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to create dishes that cater to all palates. As you dine, you might spot wildlife nearby, adding to the immersive experience.

Afternoon Rest and Activities

The hottest part of the day is ideal for a siesta or participating in optional activities, such as visiting a local Maasai village. Here, you can learn about the rich culture and traditions of the Maasai people, gaining a deeper understanding of their way of life. Alternatively, some lodges offer educational talks or guided nature walks for those eager to learn more about the region's flora and fauna.

Afternoon Tea and Evening Game Drive

In the late afternoon, after a refreshing tea, you set off for your second game drive of the day. The light during this time is perfect for photography, casting a golden glow over the landscape. Evening game drives often reveal nocturnal creatures starting to stir, adding a different dimension to your wildlife viewing.



Sundowners in the Wild

One of the highlights of a Kenyan safari is the tradition of sundowners. As the sun sets, you stop at a scenic spot to enjoy drinks and snacks while watching the sky transform into a canvas of brilliant colors. This magical moment epitomizes the tranquility and beauty of the African wilderness.

Dinner and Stories by the Campfire

After returning to the camp, a delicious dinner is served, often under the stars. The evening is capped off with stories and experiences shared around the campfire. Listening to your guide recount tales of the bush and hearing the distant calls of wildlife create memories that last a lifetime.
