    Most Incredible Experience

    I cannot recommend Simba Park Safaris enough! The entire experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. The staff were incredible, so knowledgeable and going above and beyond for everything. Pick ups and drop offs were seamless, and our group of 8 learned so much while having the very best time. Again I cannot recommend them enough and I’m so grateful for my favourite trip ever!

    The best experience and the kindest most amazing team

    I could not recommend a Maasai mara safari trip with Simba Paka Safaris more highly. I have been on two safaris over the last 3 years with Paul and his team and they were both incredible experiences. We travelled from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara with large groups on both trips and everyone was looked after and catered to excellently. Whilst on safari the drivers worked their hardest to ensure that we saw everything we could and had the best views and most positive experience possible. It was so lovely to have the same drivers which is also a testament to the company itself. On one of the tours when a member of our group was having some difficulties Paul could don't have done more to assist us in every way he could to get medical treatment and make the experience as seamless and easy as possible, he really went above and beyond and that really made such a big impact on the whole experience. There is no-one else I would choose to go back to the Maasai Mara with, always an incredible experience and I couldn't recommend highly enough.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your fantastic feedback! It’s wonderful to hear that you had such a great experience with us. We’re grateful that you chose to visit and took the time to share your experience. We hope to see you again soon!

    Go and see for yourself

    To book a tour was super easy. All questions answered super fast and almost any time. Safari was exceptionally nice- driver skilled and attentive to details, had a sixt sense to spot animals, patient and informative. Village was exceptionally nice, staff friendly, food was amazing, I did enjoyed it wery much. All the boxes were checked for this adventure. Those three days is the best short escape from the city to refresh and to feel the wild Africa. Recommend.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a lovely review. We’re thrilled you enjoyed your experience and that our team made your visit special. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back.

    Best ever!

    Best ever experience with private driver. We saw it ALL.. Paul the owner was the best and consciousness making sure we were always on time where we were heading. Had the best service and food. Could not have dreamed of the best ever safari and beach stay for our anniversary! A must to go with Simba Pakka Safari

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Karine, for leaving us a 5-star rating! We truly appreciate your support. If there’s anything you enjoyed about your experience, or anything we can do to make your next visit even better, we’d love to hear it. Your feedback helps us keep improving! Thanks again, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Could not wish for better!

    Our guide Moses was very experienced, clearly the king Maasai Mara! He made sure we always had VIP seats in the park. We were very impressed, being able seeing the all the animals so close. Everything went very smooth with them, being reliable, communicative and well organized. That not always being the case in Kenya in our experience. Also great value for money! We had a great safari, we highly recommend! Thank you!

    3 days masai mara safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 days masai mara safari from Nairobi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $230 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 safari 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 masai mara safari from Nairobi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 143 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.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 days masai mara safari 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 masai mara safari 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 masai mara safari from Nairobi?

    +

    Around 50 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 safari 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.
