About this trip
A short, straightforward safari into the Masai Mara, run by an operator that owns both the vehicles and the camp you'll stay in, so departures aren't subcontracted out or cancelled at short notice.
You join a small group of 7 to 8 travellers, setting off from Nairobi at 8am after pickup from central hotels or Westlands, with complimentary airport collection laid on for morning arrivals on day one.
Nights are spent in large private tents with proper beds, en-suite toilet and shower, and electricity in the evenings for charging phones and cameras — solid comfort for a budget-friendly Mara trip.
What you'll do
- Game drives across the Masai Mara plains
- Small group of 7-8 travellers
- Sleep in large private en-suite tents with hot water
- Complimentary airport pickup on the morning of day one
- Departure from central Nairobi or Westlands hotels
- Park fees are separate from the tour price and vary by season (roughly 200 USD per person Jan-Jun, 400 USD Jul-Dec)
- If you're not staying near the pickup zones, you'll need to reach the meeting point at City Market on Muindi Mbingu Street
- Suits travellers wanting a short, no-frills group safari rather than a private or luxury setup
Worth it if you're flexible about logistics and prioritise wildlife spotting over creature comforts. Think twice if you need reliable airport transfers, pristine sanitation, or dietary needs catered properly.
- Consistently saw four of the Big Five up close; guides networked to locate lions and cheetahs reliably.
- Airport pickup often doesn't reach airport; expect Uber costs and 6-hour drives with no meals or water provided.
- Camp sanitation issues reported: defective toilet seats, shower fittings, and tents smaller than advertised photos suggest.
- Dietary restrictions sent in advance were ignored; meal surprises came daily despite prior communication.
