Highly recommended experience - 4 out of big 5, amazing driver, smooth process
I had a really great time at Maasai Mara with a really nice small group (4 persons in total). Our driver Alex was amazing! Very patient and helpful at any time. He had great knowledge on the wildlife, provided us with a lot further information and was able to answer all our questions. We got to see four of the big 5: lions, elephants, buffalos and a leopard. Besides we got to meet several kind of antelopes, one cheetah, hippos, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and others. I would highly recommend this trip. I booked it quiet short notice but still everything went smoothly from pick-up from til drop-off at my accommodation. Thanks a lot for this amazing experience!
Response from the operator: It's great to get such a nice review Nora, we really appreciate your patience Alex and your guiding skills. Thank you Nora for sharing your experience with us online. We look forward to serving you again.

Very different experience from our expectations
My wife and I were very intent on finding two things for our safari: An eco friendly company, and one that wouldn't hand us off to contractors that were not their employees. In finding Gracepatt, an eco friendly company (it's in the name) and excellent reviews, I thought we had found both. We found the price for the 3 Day Masai Mara tour to be considerably higher than other operators offering the same, but given that we thought it met our checklists, we were fine with this. Unfortunately, it turned out neither of these things were accurate. We were picked up at our hotel by a gentleman who drove us to a large group of vans and dropped us with another gentleman. From there, it took an entire hour to gather the other 3 couples that would cram into this van before we could leave Nairobi. We had been handed off to a contractor and mixed with other couples who had similar expectations to our own, who were also incredibly disappointed. We found lunch on the way to Masai Mara and back to Nairobi to be very poor. The Lechada Campground was basic with incredibly friendly staff, but quite awful food. We had spaghetti with hard boiled eggs one night. Yikes. Unfortunately, our driver opted to take us on an 11 hour game drive our second day in order to bypass a 2 hour game drive on the last day. 11 hours in a van is WAY too long, and all of us were quite bored and anxious by the end of it. We found nothing about this trip to be eco friendly, and honestly, i'm not even sure why Gracepatt would offer this tour. The van itself was a gross polluter, pouring out black smoke constantly. All water was taken from small water bottles, which is terrible for the environment. In addition, water was supposed to be included for the whole trip, however, the driver only brought one case. 24 water bottles for 9 people over 3 days is not sufficient, and we were completely out by the end of the second day. I don't think much of this tour is in the control of Gracepatt, so I can't blame them for a lot of the poor food, the uncomfortable van, or the impromptu changes in schedules. My biggest issue is that we paid a premium price expecting a better product, and received the same product that every other vendor is offering for a much lower price. Gracepatt seems like a company that offers better than this and has higher expectations for itself, so I hope it can address and change this offering because I think it is beneath what they appear to stand for. If you're on a budget, just go with one of the cheaper operators. Otherwise, spend a little bit more money and buy yourself some comfort.

3 Day Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3 Day Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures cost?
+
Prices start at $295 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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures 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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures?
+
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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures 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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures?
+
Around 2 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 Maasai Mara Group Joining Camping Safari - Daily Departures 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 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep, 1 Day trip to Hells Gate and optional Lake Naivasha From Nairobi, Nairobi Masai village Day Tour Experience. 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.
