    Entice Africa Safari Review

    I had an absolutely incredible experience with Entice Africa Safaris! I would 10000% recommend them. While the safari itself was breathtaking and unforgettable, what truly made the trip so special were the people. Everyone I met was incredibly caring, welcoming, and kind. A huge thank you to Anthony and Cosmos, who went above and beyond to make the experience seamless and memorable. I can’t recommend Entice Africa Safaris enough!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing to book your safari with us. We are glad you had a wonderful time . I look forward to hosting you again in the future.

    3 days 2 nights safari in the Maasai Mara

    our guide Onesmus made sure we had a good time and that we could see as much as possible of the Maasai Mara reserve and the animals, as well as being careful to accommodate our preferences. tip: ask your guide to take you on early morning game drives so you can see the sunrise in the savannah

    Response from the operator: Thank you Alice for choosing to book your 3 days safari with us. We are glad you had a wonderful time . I look forward to hosting you again in the future.

    A million Stars!

    Right from the very beginning of planning our safari, Evelyn was so attentive. She happily made the many changes we requested during our planning phase and was always responsive to emails. She completely understood our needs and desires and followed through on every single one. Evelyn even helped with communications with a third party as we were experiencing communication difficulties with them.. We were greeted by both Evelyn and our tour guide Josh on the first morning. If you are lucky enough to have Josh as your tour guide I can ensure you are in for a fabulous safari.. Josh became part of our family and we are just so grateful to him for making this experience so memorable. Upon collecting us, Josh and Evelyn ensured we were able to run some errands such as money exchange before our first long drive to the Maasai Mara. Josh was so accommodating of us, particularly our kids and their endless questions. All the lodges booked were fabulous and all so unique. They really managed to capture diversity as we travelled throughout Kenya. Needless to say we had a wonderful safari and beach experience and it was a very sad good bye to our Kenyan brother Josh!! He was so great at finding the animals and squeezing us into the best viewing spots on the busier sightings. He always made us feel so proud when we spotted an animal.. it was like a badge of honour for the day to be told, “good sighting!!” By Josh. Josh seemed as captivated as all of us which really added to the excitement. Although, after 4 days at the coast, you should have seen the kids faces when it was Josh who collected us for our transfer from Wilson to Nairobi airport.. such a nice surprise. We were even greeted by Anthony, the owner of entice who helped us with our bags at Nairobi airport and checked in on our experience. We were in such good hands throughout our time in Kenya. Admittedly I had some nerves around travelling through Africa with 4 children and a few long days of travel. But by car really was a fantastic was to see the country and the drives never seemed that long with so much to see! It seemed there was nothing the team at entice wouldn’t do for us and I cannot recommend this company highly enough

    Response from the operator: Dear Lizzy, we are in awe of your detailed review of our services. We are more than happy to know that we met and exceeded your expectations, we always strive to make our clients get the best value for their money while creating lasting safari memories. Be our ambassadors out there and keep reffering our services to family and friends wishing to do an African safari as we promise to always deliver the best of Africa holiday safaris.

    Tanzania Safari

    Entice Africa was absolutely amazing! From start to finish this outfit was top notch, they were waiting for us at every airport on time the bookings they chose were spectacular. Chiba our guide was just incredible so kind and man his eyesight was insane I mean absolutely insane. Most of the other vehicles would just follow other vehicles to rely on someone hoping to see something, not Chiba he would watch the animals and birds. We were mostly the ones that other people would arrive at where we’ve been for along time. I would give 10 stars if I could. We can’t wait to come back soon

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Mike for the amazing feedback on our services and am happy our driver guide Chiba was an incredible guide and met your expectations. We are hopeful that you will be our good ambassadors and will send business our way, we also look forward to being of service to you again in the near future.

    Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli Safari

    It has been a wonderful experience. Freddy was our guide. He knows a lot about animals and answered all of our questions. In addition, he is very friendly. The hotels were also excellent. I can't say anything bad, everything was very good.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Victor for your amazing review of our services, we are glad you chose to travel with the best and for sure Fred delivered to your expectations. We hope you will be our ambassador and refer us to your family and friends who would be planning to visit East Africa. Receive our warm regards, Anthony.

    3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village cost?

    +

    Prices start at $850 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 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 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 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village?

    +

    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 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village?

    +

    Around 4 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village 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.

    What is included in 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village?

    +

    Included: 2 nights' accommodation {Mara Sopa Lodge} or equivalent; Meals as indicated in itinerary. B=Breakfast, L=Lunch, D=Dinner; Bottled water; All Fees and Taxes; and Pickup and Drop off at your centrally located hotel/ Residence. Not included: Things of personal nature; Alcoholic beverages; Tips is highly recommended; and Masai village fee {30 USD Per person Sharing}. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 3 - Day classic safari to Masai Mara with optional Masai Village wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
