    Best trip of our life!

    Lewis was great in organising and planning what we wanted for my wife’s 30th surprise birthday trip, the quote was competitive and included everything and also an extra little excursion which was an amazing experience. Our safari guide David was great company, talked so much about the animals and his desire and determination to get us to see all the animals, we couldn’t fault, he gave us so much time seeing them and taking in the moment, it was breathtaking and one of the best trips we will ever do and never forget, if we come back we will definitely want him again. The accommodation mara simba lodge was exactly what we wanted - relaxing, staff were lovely and welcoming and the food was great. The whole trip was very well organised, from being picked up from Nairobi airport and transferred to the Wilson airport, the airstrips and around Nairobi was all well planned and can’t fault the organisation of it all, we felt so relaxed and 100% would recommend Unscripted Safaris to anyone. Thankyou once again for an unforgettable trip and big shout out to David! You made it special!

    Amazing Experience and Top Notch Guide! Highly Recommended!

    Visiting from Canada. We had an unforgettable experience with Unscripted Safari Tours. From start to finish, every detail was seamless and thoughtfully arranged. Our guide, David, was exceptional—his deep knowledge of the game reserve, wildlife behavior, and local ecosystems brought every drive to life. He seemed to spot animals from impossible distances and shared fascinating insights about each one. His passion, patience, and warm personality made us feel comfortable and completely immersed in the adventure. Thanks to David and the team, our safari was not just a trip, but a truly memorable, once-in-a-lifetime journey. We wholeheartedly cannot recommend them highly enough.

    6.00am hotel pick up and...

    6.00am hotel pick up and four hour drive to the Masai Mara with a stop on the way for breakfast. Arrived at the park and spent five hours seeing wonderful animals including lion, leopard, elephants, hyenas, hippos and crocodiles. Late afternoon checked in at Jambo Safari lodge and enjoyed dinner. The lodge’s are clean and well equipped and very comfortable including en-suite shower room. After breakfast we departed the Masai Mara and stopped at a Masai tribal village where we were shown tribal singing g and dancing, fire lighting and their mud houses - inside as well, which was fascinating. Trip back to Nairobi took 2 hours longer than it should have as the minibus kept breaking down, but The driver Bernard persevered and we arrived back safely. A fantastic trip overall

    Great and satisfying experience

    My sister visited and we did a safari to Tsavo parks for 3 days from the coast of Mombasa and we had an amazing experience with Mohammed who was a well experienced expert in game drives and animal spotting. I look forward to the next one early next year!! Thank you

    2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maasai Mara National Reserve.

    How much does 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maasai Mara National Reserve usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maasai Mara National Reserve is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maasai Mara National Reserve, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari?

    +

    Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maasai Mara National Reserve can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maasai Mara National Reserve and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maasai Mara National Reserve within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Maasai Mara National Reserve experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include African Wildlife & Nature - 5 Kenya national parks - 6 day Jeep Safari, 4-Day Tour in Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivash, Masai Mara from Nairobi, 3-Day Private Tour in Tsavo West National Parks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Maasai Mara National Reserve?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Classic Maasai Mara Safari?

    +
