About this experience
Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya- Africa. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland. Wildlife tends to be most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

10/10 highly recommended- would do it again
This Masai Mara Safari was remarkable. Everything was seamless from booking to logistics, and our driver and guide Dennis was so knowledgeable of the entire Mara, the animals and the people. He had a confident ease in communicating with us and getting everything sorted. We saw the big five! I’d recommmend this tour to anyone. And special shout out to Agnes who gave clear instructions from the time we booked in Jamaica till our arrival in Kenya.

Breathtaking experience
We had an amazing two-day private game drive in the Masai Mara with Felix, and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the Big Five, tailoring each game drive to what we wanted to see while ensuring we were comfortable throughout. His determination, local knowledge, and ability to find incredible wildlife made the experience truly unforgettable. Felix was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and the Masai Mara. He shared fascinating insights throughout the safari and answered all of our questions with enthusiasm. We highly recommend Felix to anyone looking for an exceptional safari guide, he made our trip one we'll remember for a lifetime.
Response from the operator: Jambo Jasleen, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a breathtaking experience on your 3-day Masai Mara Luxury safari and that Felix helped make it so memorable. Knowing that he went above and beyond to tailor your game drives, ensure your comfort, and help you spot the Big Five is incredibly rewarding. His passion, dedication, and extensive knowledge of the Masai Mara are qualities we truly value, and we will be sure to share your kind words with him. It was our pleasure to be part of your Kenyan adventure, and we are thrilled that the experience created memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you once again for choosing Africa Flash McTours. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Kenya or another East African destination for another unforgettable safari in the future! Warm regards, Africa Flash McTours & Travel

Great driver and experience, but different lodge than told
Our driver Martin was fantastic! He was very friendly, knowledgeable, drove safely, and showed us amazing sights in the Mara!! My only complaint is that the website lists Sarina Game Camp as the lodge we would be staying at. However, with no prior notice, we were taken to the Zebra River Camp instead. This lodge ended up being fine, but it was disconcerting to not have a chance to look at information or reviews about the correct lodge ahead of time.
Response from the operator: Jambo Rachel, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for choosing to travel with us. We are delighted to hear that Martin made your safari memorable. He is indeed one of our most experienced guides, and we will be sure to pass along your kind words regarding his friendliness, knowledge, safe driving, and dedication to providing exceptional wildlife experiences in the Maasai Mara. We also appreciate you bringing the accommodation matter to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by your stay at Zebra River Camp instead of Sarova Game Camp. While both properties offer comparable standards and experiences, we understand that receiving a different lodge without prior notice can be unsettling, particularly when guests wish to research and familiarize themselves with their accommodation before travel. Your feedback is valuable, and we are reviewing our communication procedures to ensure that any accommodation changes, when necessary, are communicated clearly and in advance to our guests. Thank you again for your understanding and for highlighting both the positive aspects of your safari and the area where we can improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Kenya for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Warm regards, The Flash McTours Team

It is especially rewarding to know that Felix made your safari memorable with his knowledge, dedication, and determination to ensure you saw as much wildlife as possible. We will be sure to share your kind words with him and Peter as well. Thank you once again for your recommendation. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would absolutely love to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari adventure in the future. Warm regards, Peter & The Team

Wonderful tour
We did a private tour from Nairobi to Masai Mara. Communication went perfect. Our tour guide guided us very well. We visited a Masai village, full day game drive and did a balloon flight. On our way back we visited Naivasha lake, since we had some hours left before our flight back home.
Response from the operator: Jambo Geu L, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your private safari to Masai Mara National Reserve and that everything, from communication to the guided experience, went smoothly. It’s great to know that you enjoyed the visit to the Maasai village, the full-day game drive, and the balloon safari — all truly memorable experiences. We are also happy that you were able to make the most of your remaining time with a visit to Lake Naivasha before your flight home. Thank you once again for choosing us for your Kenya safari adventure. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Kenya again in the future for another unforgettable experience. Warm regards, Africa Flash McTours, and Team

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Masai Mara Luxury Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3-Day Masai Mara Luxury Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $1973 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 Masai Mara Luxury 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 Masai Mara Luxury Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 32 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 Masai Mara Luxury 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 Masai Mara Luxury 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 Masai Mara Luxury Safari?
+
Around 11 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 Masai Mara Luxury 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 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.
