Three days of pure Maasai Mara. You leave Nairobi, descend the Rift Valley and spend two full days among lion prides, elephant herds and the endless golden grass of the Mara.

This is the ideal first safari or an add-on to a Kenya business trip — with big-cat action from dawn to dusk and comfortable mid-range lodges or tented camps inside or bordering the reserve.

Safari expert's note

Ask us to book a dawn balloon safari on day two — the migration crossings below are unforgettable.

What drives the price

  • · Accommodation level and whether camps are inside or outside the parks.
  • · Group size — per-person costs drop as your party grows.
  • · Flying between parks versus driving adds convenience and cost.
  • · Park entry fees, which vary by country and park.
