50 year wedding anniversary trip
The safari was outstanding. Our driver, John, shared lots of information about the preserve as well as many interesting facts about the animals and how they behave. He made the trip so much more than just seeing the animals - that was great of course, but what he shared made it even better. We also included a hot air balloon ride, which included a champaign breakfast! Second to none! We would strongly encourage people to make this safari a part of your trip to Kenya. It was truly a highlight of our trip.

A Dream Safari
Our 3-day Massai Mara National Park tour began with our guide picking us up from a Nairobi hotel for the 6-hour drive to the park. We stayed in a "tent" with all the comforts of a hotel room. Good food as part of the package. Attached bath and toilet to the room complete with hot water. The your of the park was wonderful. We saw all the animals they had lusted in their website: lions, cheetahs, zebras, giraffes, elephants, leopards, ostriches, hyenas, hippos, impalas, baboons, and lots of birds. It was well worth the cost.

10/10 experience
I cannot rate the experience highly enough. The administrative contact was quick, transparent and clear. Our driver James was absolutely excellent, he was certainly a big part of why our trip was seamless, fun and accommodated for our children. He is obviously very experienced and we felt that we were in excellent hands. The Samburi camp we stayed at was 10/10 - tent, food, service. I will certainly recommend to friends and family.

A trip of a lifetime!
My family and I enjoyed a fantastic three-day safari around the Masai Mara which I had organised via Shoor Travel. Joy was informative, responsive and maintained great communication throughout. Our guide John was friendly, knowledgeable and welcomed requests from our party regarding what we wanted to try and see etc. We stayed at Keekorok Lodge which was a home away from home, with great facilities, friendly staff, delicious food and a wonderful added bonus of the hippo bar which is a must see. It was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Shoor Travel for anyone thinking of doing a safari.

Memories for a Lifetime
My trip with the Shoor Africa was incredible. My tour guide, John, was part os the Massai Tribe. He was very knowledgable, patient and had a great personal story. The food at the camp was lovely, and staff overall very friendly.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 day Meru National Park Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3 day Meru National Park Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $489 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 Meru National Park 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 Meru National Park Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 day Meru National Park Safari?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 day Meru National Park 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 Meru National Park Safari?
+
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 Meru National Park 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.
