Beautiful and one of the most beautiful trips of our lives

Our safari in Kenya was fantastically organized by James from Twinkle Star Tours from start to finish. Everything went perfectly on site: the lodges were beautiful, our guide King David (Kupai) was a Masai and he was extremely professional and friendly. These game drives were unforgettable. Thanks to the excellent planning, we were able to see an incredible amount of wildlife in a short time. Thank you we will definitely be back!

Response from the operator: Hello Caroline Vandenbossche, Thank you sincerely for your wonderful 5-star review. We are truly delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience on your 3-days/2-nights fly-in safari with us. It is always our goal to deliver seamless travel, exceptional service, and unforgettable moments in the wild, so your kind words mean a great deal to our entire team. We greatly appreciate your trust in us and are honored to have been part of your safari journey. Your feedback inspires us to continue maintaining the highest standards for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming you back again for another remarkable adventure in the near future. Warm regards, James Collins Oketch.

In love with the safari

Wonderful trip ! Though we confirmed the availability for the trip in the last moment, James managed to organise everything smoothly and we felt comfortable during the entire trip. It was an amazing experience to see the animals. To fly with the Cesna small planes was a great excitement ! Thank you , James !

Response from the operator: We remain committed, and to continue providing top notch services to our potential customers like you. Thank you so much for making us your number one choice to plan your safari. We welcome you back a gain. Best Regards, James C. Oketch.

Safari trip of a lifetime!

We had such a great family safari trip to Maasai Mara, and James was an integral part of ensuring everything went well. Despite finalizing out trip late, James was able to craft a custom itinerary of bus and secure rooms for us at the Entim Mara Luxury camp. Our parents and kids enjoyed the safari drives with our Maasai guide James (different guy), who helped us spot 4 of the big 5, besides countless other animal and bird life. James even personally came to check on our trip and wish as goodbye at the conclusion of our trip. Highly recommend Twinkle Start Tours and Safari.

3 Days Masai Mara National Reserve Safari: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 3 Days Masai Mara National Reserve Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $1720 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 National Reserve 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 National Reserve Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Days Masai Mara National Reserve 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 Days Masai Mara National Reserve Safari suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 12. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book 3 Days Masai Mara National Reserve 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 Days Masai Mara National Reserve 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.
