Duration: 1 nights / 2 days days
Location: Narok
Group Size: 2
Tour Type: Romantic Safari
A single night is all it takes: a private game drive into golden-hour light, a sundowner on the plains, dinner under canvas, and a dawn drive before you fly home. This is the Mara distilled into one unforgettable weekend — built for the couple who wants the magic without a week away from life. But even a single night takes real coordination:
The right lodge, positioned for river and savannah views rather than a shared circuit camp. A private sundowner set on the plains at exactly the right hour. A dawn game drive timed to the Mara’s quietest, most rewarding light. Butler service, bush dining, and the small touches that make one night feel complete rather than rushed. Organise all of that yourself and a weekend safari becomes a scramble. Hand it to us and it stays a single, perfect night in the wild.
Chariot Safaris coordinates the complete Mara weekend escape from Nairobi. We handle the transport, the lodge, and every private experience inside it, working only with conservancy lodges and guides we’ve vetted personally. You pick your dates. We take care of the rest.

Fly-in or private transfer to your lodge, arriving in time for lunch. An afternoon game drive into golden hour, then a private sundowner set on the plains. Dinner in camp as the stars come out.

An early game drive at first light — the Mara’s quietest, most rewarding hours. A relaxed bush or in-camp breakfast, then your private transfer or flight home.

What to Carry on Your Adventure
We handle transport, the camp, and every experience inside it — but a few things are yours to bring:
- Neutral-toned safari clothing (avoid bright colours and dark blue/black)
- A warm layer and light gloves for cold dawn drives and the balloon
- Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat
- Good binoculars and a camera with a zoom lens
- Comfortable closed shoes
- Something elegant for the candle-lit dinner
- Personal medication and toiletries
A note on timing: the balloon safari is weather-dependent and confirmed the evening before — we build a buffer into the itinerary so a delay never costs you the experience.
