3 Days Maasai Mara Guided Safari from Nairobi

3.3 Days Maasai Mara Guided Safari from Nairobi

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 195 reviews · from $196

Travel from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara in a vehicle shared by up to seven people. Expect a Rift Valley stop, sunset and full-day game drives, ensuite tent lodging, meals, and an optional Maasai village visit. Guides such as Joshua, Robert, Samuel, and Ambrose have earned strong praise.

“We arrived at the park at around 5pm on the first day, and the driver said it would be closing soon, and the first day's itinerary was rescheduled to the third day. But on the third day, I just walked through the park, which took about 40 minutes, but I paid $100 for these 40 minutes, and there were not many animals. Chatting with members of the group, everyone said that the $100 spent on this day was completely unnecessary.”
