Review of a 3-day Maasai Mara safari from Nairobi, with Big Five game drives, Maasai culture, tent camping, costs, and practical tips.

“Safari was an unforgettable and awesome experience! We saw so many animals: lions, cheetah, leopard, hippos, giraffes etc. We never would have expected to see so much diversity. Tent acommodation was authentic and nice, lots of cute monkeys in the area. Electrity was down sometimes but its understandable. They had a back up generator in the mornings and evenings. Guide was a great driver. Although it would have been nice to hear more about the animals and local ecosystem. The separate option to visit the Maasai village was an unique experience but very touristey and maybe a bit staged. A big recommendation for the safari tour itself but perhaps consider…”

Review of a budget 3-day Maasai Mara safari from Nairobi, covering wildlife, camp comfort, guides, park fees, transport, and practical tips.

“The safari with Paul was amazing! He’s super friendly and really helpful. Everything went exactly as described. I was the only solo traveler and got to sit in the front the whole time—which, in my opinion, is the best seat in the jeep. There’s a roof hatch in the front, and you can even stand up on the passenger seat while driving and look out. Paul is a great driver, and I felt safe the entire time. The camp was better than I expected. I had a tent with a big double bed, and it had everything I needed. If you’re looking for luxury, you should probably book a more…”
