Esperienza unica
An incredible experience. We were able to see lions up close and a leopard hunting. Our guide, Anderson, spoke excellent Italian and was kind to all our requests. Our driver, Erick, was excellent at navigating the safari's dangers and was also very kind.

Wonderful experience
A wonderful experience made all the better by the helpfulness and knowledge of our amazing driver/guide Erick. From start to finish he was completely understanding of our needs and tried to ensure the trip met them all. His experience and incredible knowledge of the animals and birds as well as his knowledge of the National Reserve meant we saw so much, including numerous lions and cheetahs as well as a stunning leopard. His company was great throughout and helped make our first safari an unforgettable experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your first safari in the Maasai Mara was such a wonderful experience. Erick will be delighted to know you appreciated his knowledge, helpfulness, and attention to your needs. Seeing lions, cheetahs, and even a leopard sounds incredible! We truly value your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure with Kenya Bush Expeditions.

The most wonderful, unforgettable trip
The amazing Erick made our first safari experience absolutely unforgettable. He was so informative about all the animals and his knowledge of the Maasai Mara meant he always knew where to find the best close-up sightings; even of a leopard (they usually spend all daylight hours sleeping in a tree and are virtually impossible so spot; but this one was just strolling about! He was always very friendly, helpful and kind; totally unfazed when 20mins into our journey I realised that my phone was still at our hotel and he turned back without appearing to mind at all!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted that Erick made your first safari in the Maasai Mara truly unforgettable. It’s fantastic that his expertise helped you spot so many incredible animals—even a walking leopard! We’re also glad he could help smoothly when your phone was left behind. Your kind words mean a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure with Kenya Bush Expeditions!

2 Days Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 2 Days Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi 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 Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi 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 Nairobi is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 37 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi?
+
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 Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi 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 Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi?
+
Around 13 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Maasai Mara National Reserve Safari from Nairobi 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 Nairobi 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 Nairobi?
+
On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. 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 Nairobi?
+
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 Nairobi?
+
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.
