We had the BEST safari with Africa Flash McTours!! Book with them!!
Wow!! We wanted to get the most out of 4 days in Kenya, and Africa Flash McTours certainly made sure we did!! Peter was really informative and promptly responsive to all our questions as we were searching for the right safari, and he was even in touch with us throughout our trip! We can’t say enough good things about our guide Antony—SO knowledgeable about every aspect of Masai Mara, ALL the animals and birds, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha! He was excellent!! We chose the private safari and the luxury option, and we were not at all disappointed! We stayed at Sarova Mara Game Camp and Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge during our trip and really enjoyed both! The accommodations at Sarova Mara were outstanding, but the staff at Lion Hill were really friendly, making our stay at Lake Nakuru really special! We would ABSOLUTELY recommend you choose Africa Flash McTours for your safari in Kenya, and we will be touring with them again when we return!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your 4 days in Kenya were so memorable, and that we were able to help you make the most of your time. It was truly a pleasure assisting you with planning your safari, and I’m glad I could be of support throughout your journey. Your kind words about Antony mean a great deal to us—he is indeed a fantastic guide, and we’ll be sure to pass along your appreciation to him. Knowing that his knowledge and passion helped enhance your experience in Masai Mara, as well as at Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, is very rewarding. We’re also thrilled that you enjoyed your stays at Sarova Mara Game Camp and Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge—both are wonderful properties, and it’s great to hear they lived up to your expectations in different ways. Thank you once again for your recommendation—it truly means a lot to us. We would be honored to welcome you back for another adventure in the future! Warm regards, Africa Flash McTours Team

Best trip ever!!!
Just returned from a fanstastic 4 day safari to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru with our brilliant guide Simon, who was extremely helpful, informative and timely throughout our trip. Simon is an expert driver, and went out of his way to make sure we got all the best possible encounters with wildlife. We were so impressed by how the guides communicate via radio to let each other know where the best sightings were! Yvonne was very helpful in the lead up to our safari to ensure our trip was as seamless as possible, with prompt responses to all queries. Would highly recommend!!
Response from the operator: Dear David, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback. We are absolutely delighted to hear that you had a fantastic 4-day safari experience to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. It’s great to know that Simon made your trip so memorable with his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication to ensuring you had the best wildlife encounters. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We’re also pleased that Yvonne provided you with excellent support in planning your safari and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Your recommendation truly means a lot to us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure in the future! Warm regards, Africa Flash McTours & Travel and Team

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $1,791 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 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi take?
+
Plan for about 96 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 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 45 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 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi?
+
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 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari from Nairobi?
+
Around 16 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 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 4-Day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru 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.
