Appetite opener
Our guide (Saddam) always put us in the best shooting position to take the best pictures from. His company as well was very fun It was easy to communicate with Axis Africa's tour consultant (Maurine) to settle on the trip. The facilities they booked with their partners/vendors were quite nice and of good quality. Payments were smoothly executed, whether online or on premises

An unforgettable Safari experience
We had an absolutely amazing safari experience in the Masai Mara! Everything was well organized, and our tour guide, Amos, was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we had the best possible experience. Seeing the wildlife up close and enjoying the breathtaking landscapes was truly unforgettable. It was one of the highlights of our honeymoon! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
Response from the operator: We’re honoured that you chose Axis Africa Safaris to be part of such a special time in your lives! We’re glad you enjoyed your Masai Mara safari, and Amos will appreciate your kind words about his guiding. We hope the memories you made in Kenya will always bring a smile to your faces as you look back on your honeymoon!

Amazing family experience ❤️
We booked a 2 night (3 day) safari with Axis Africa and it was worth every penny. The Lodge was beautifully done and staff very polite and friendly. The safari on the Masai Mara was amazing. Straight from the gate the wildlife was abundant. Our guide Amos was both an excellent driver and very knowledgeable, answering all our questions about the animals and geography. Seeing cheetah and lion cubs was an absolute highlight! Heading back to Nairobi we stopped at a Masai village which was culturally amazing and a wonderful experience for our children. We would highly recommend this safari to friends and family.
Response from the operator: It’s wonderful to know your family enjoyed the safari! Amos will appreciate the kind mention, and we’re especially happy the experience gave your children such lovely memories of Kenya. Thank you for recommending Axis Africa Safaris.

The best one!
We had a tour “3 days Masai Mara adventure” from Nairobi. 1. We had a group tour (5 tourists from different countries) and everyone from our group was nice, it was fun to find animals together. Take your binoculars, so you can check animals in details. Our jeep was equipped with comfortable seats, with enough space for everyone in the car. 2. Our guide Yasin is the best! He knows everything about animals and he can answer on all your questions in English. His jokes are really fun) Yasin did everything to show to us animals as more as possible and we got unbelievable impressions. We saw leopard, hyenas, ostriches, giraffes, crocodiles; families of elephants, warthogs and hippos with their babies; herds of buffalos, zebras, impalas, wildebeests and others. The most memorable moments for me were: - a pair of black rhinos, we saw them so close! - cheetah with her babies, they played among bushes and one more pregnant cheetah, they are amazing! - we were watching for lion’s hunting on warthogs twice, at those moments I felt myself as a participant of an “animal planet”. I really recommend this guy, he did our safari unbelievable! 3. Our manager answered very fast, she was nice and helped me all the time. 4. We had a problem with our accommodation. We booked “Sankale”, but they brought us to another one “Lenchada” and explained it because of overbooking. Our tent had holes and the door was broken, so a lot of insects were inside, pillows were with spots like mold. I will not mark down, because our manager solved this problem and negotiated with camp about changing the tent and we got the better one without insects and clean textile. Personal in Lenchada were polite and nice. Food was standard for budget type of accommodation. In my lunchbox were plenty of ants especially inside my chicken. So be careful. So, this company of safari tours is perfect! I really recommend AXIS safari.
Response from the operator: We’re glad your Masai Mara safari was filled with incredible wildlife encounters and memorable moments! Yasin will truly appreciate your kind words. We’re also glad our team could help resolve the accommodation issue, and we appreciate your feedback about the camp and lunchbox. Thank you for recommending Axis Africa Safaris, and we hope you’ll always look back on your time in Kenya with a smile!

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $700 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 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi 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 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 574 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi?
+
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 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi 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 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi?
+
Around 201 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 Days Gamedrive Safari In Masai Mara From Nairobi 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.
