    Your professional Safari Operator at Kenya

    We had a memorable trip with the company visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha including Baloon safari seeing animals from the top at Maasai Mara. Our experienced driver who is also our guide was always pushed the jeep in front of the animals, so we could see the animals from the closest distance including wildebeests migration. All the accommodation were good standard making our sleep and rest satisfactory.

    This tour company turns sloppy the moment they get your deposit. They’ll push you hard to pay, but after that, don’t expect any clear communication, you have to ask for everything, and even then, the info is incomplete. On day one, we had no idea which car we were supposed to take. We waited over an hour, switched vehicles twice, and ended up crammed into a van with eight people(not including driver), super uncomfortable. The driver was on the phone constantly. They gave us the cheapest hotel option out of the three they listed, even though it wasn’t clearly stated. And despite saying drop-off was included, the driver dumped us in some random street in downtown Nairobi, saying “everybody, last stop.” Seriously? We ended up getting help from another tour company’s boss to arrange our transfer 這是一間收了訂金就會開始變得很隨便的旅行社,除了很積極的催你付訂金以外,所有的資訊都需要主動詢問才會提供(還超級不詳細) 包括接送時間地點,第一天集合時,車也搞不清楚是哪一台,等了一小時,換了兩次車,最後一台車擠八個人(就是全部坐滿。連最後一排中間也擠一位)超級難坐,司機一直在講電話,最後飯店也給你三個可能選項中最便宜的,明明說包含drop off結果司機把我們載到奈洛比市中心的某條街說everybody last stop,有夠無言,還是其他間旅行社的老闆幫忙聯繫接送的

    Response from the operator: Dear Emily, Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you faced during your previous trip, including the confusion on day one, the lodge allocation, and the drop-off situation in Nairobi. We’d like to clarify that the lodge selected was based on the budget agreed upon at booking, though we understand that clearer communication was needed. As for the drop-off issue, we regret that it happened, and we acted swiftly afterward by sending another driver to assist. We are also following up with the safari driver involved to understand exactly what transpired and ensure it does not happen again. That said, we truly appreciate you giving us another opportunity. We’re glad to have you currently on safari with our guide Eric, and we’re committed to making sure this trip is smooth, enjoyable, and ends on a much more positive note. Wishing you a fantastic time, and thank you once again for choosing to travel with us.

    3 days Masai Mara family tour

    Our 3 days Masai Mara family tour was an amazing experience with Kenya Bush Expeditions, and we took back special memories with us. My main concern was that I had my kids aged 4 and 8 in the tour. But Peter, a very friendly and experienced driver and guide, had things so well organized and planned, taking care of the kids comfort and needs throughout the tour. The agenda was well planned to suit our comfort. I would definitely recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions

    3 Day Maasai Mara & Migration safari: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 Day Maasai Mara & Migration safari cost?

    +

    Prices start at $245 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 & Migration safari 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 & Migration safari worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 33 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 & Migration 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 3 Day Maasai Mara & Migration safari 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 & Migration safari?

    +

    Around 12 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 & Migration 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 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 Maasai Mara & Migration safari?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Day Maasai Mara & Migration safari include hotel pickup?

    +
