Simply Fantastic
We recently enjoyed an absolutely wonderful 3-day Masai Mara Camping Safari, staying at Fig Tree Camp, and it was truly a trip to remember. From the moment we started planning, everything was smooth and thoughtfully arranged. A huge highlight was Imraan, the organiser - he was great with planning, very responsive to our requests, and always attentive. He made sure every detail was handled, which allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Our safari driver, Abdullah, was simply fantastic. He whisked us around the terrain expertly, ensuring we got the best opportunities for wildlife sightings. Abdullah was knowledgeable, funny, and friendly, and he truly knew how to spot the animals we wanted to see—making every game drive feel exciting and rewarding. The experience combined incredible wildlife, great company, and a comfortable camp stay at Fig Tree Camp, creating the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We would wholeheartedly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an amazing Masai Mara experience. The Fig Tree Camp was also amazing with just the right balance of comfort, great food choices, attentive staff, and wonderful accommodation blending with nature, with hippos and crocs close by (but far enough to feel safe). I loved every minute of it. Oh, yes, and if your budget allows you, I highly recommend the balloon flight. You will see the landscape and groups of animals from above, and when you finish, you will be whisked to alfresco dining for a freshly made/cooked breakfast to your liking with a generous amount of bubbles.
Response from the operator: Jambo Sana, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly grateful that you chose Best Camping Tours & Safaris for your safari, and I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. Thank you again for putting your trust in us and choosing to experience Kenya with our team. It was a real pleasure having you with us, and I hope you felt well looked after throughout your safari. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you and your family back to Kenya in the near future. With much gratitude, Imraan & The Best Camping Team

Unforgettable First Trip to Kenya with Best Camping! 🇰🇪✨
Best Camping was recommended to us by a friend for our very first trip to Kenya (covering Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara), and we couldn't be happier with our decision! From our initial planning calls, the owner was incredibly thorough, attentive, and really took the time to understand all our requirements. The itinerary they crafted was perfect, and locking them in for our trip was the best decision we made. Highlights of the Experience: Exceptional Tour Guide & Driver: A massive shoutout to Simon, who might easily be one of the most experienced tour guides in all of Masai Mara! He was an absolute expert and went above and beyond to ensure our wildlife sightings were nothing short of awesome. The River Private Campsite: A true highlight of the entire trip was spending a night at Best Camping's private campsite, situated right next to the Talek River just outside the reserve. The caretaker, staff, and cook at the campsite were amazing, treating us to incredible hospitality. Top-Notch Logistics & Comfort: Everything was seamlessly organized—from the comfortable Land Cruiser to the fantastic resorts, including our hotel in Nairobi. The whole six-day itinerary ran smoothly without a single hitch or complaint. A massive thank you to the owners for making sure our stay was so comfortable and that every single one of our requirements was taken care of. A special shoutout to the wonderful team—Simon, Joseph, James, Alvin, and Thomas—for their immense kindness and hospitality throughout our journey. Thanks to Best Camping, our 6-day trip was easily one of the best vacations we have ever had. We're leaving Kenya with unforgettable memories and even better stories! Highly, highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Dear Sidharth, Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. It was a real pleasure meeting you both, and your kind words mean more to us than we can say. From our very first planning call, we wanted to make sure your first visit to Kenya was everything you had imagined. Knowing that you are leaving with unforgettable memories is the greatest reward we could ask for. Thank you for taking the time to recognise Simon, Joseph, James, Alvin and Thomas. I'll be sure to share your review with them—they'll be absolutely delighted. They genuinely love what they do, and it's wonderful to see their efforts appreciated. I'm also so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at our private campsite along the Talek River. It has always been our hope that guests would experience something a little different there—a place to slow down, enjoy the sounds of the wild, and experience Kenya in a simple and authentic way. Most of all, thank you for placing your trust in Best Camping Tours & Safaris. It was an honour to be part of your first Kenyan adventure, and we hope it's the first of many visits to our beautiful country. Asante sana for visiting Kenya, and **karibuni tena**—there will always be a place for you around our campfire. Warm regards, **Imraan & The Best Camping Team**

Wonderful Trip
The wonderful trip I’ve ever had! I took two little kids and a bit nervous to do so, but our tour guide was really helpful and the trip for three days turned into the enjoyable and unforgettable experience. Even before the tour started, Imran organized the paper work for VISA application and everything was just smooth and reliable. I asked the several tour company but this one is the best!! Highly recommend!!! Thank you

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari 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 Masai Mara Camping 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 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 37 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 Days Masai Mara Camping 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 Days Masai Mara Camping 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 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari?
+
Around 13 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 Masai Mara Camping 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 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Children Under 8 DO NOT PAY PARK FEES FOR MASAI MARA; Guest and Driver / Guide Park Fees Not Included In The Price; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 89 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to 3 Days Masai Mara Camping Safari if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
