Amazing experience 10/10! Book this one!
We had an amazing experience on safari with African Sermon Safaris. We booked via viator after a lot of research and Daniel was very helpful, reassuring and responsive. Our tour guide Jeremy was also very patient, punctual, friendly and knowledgeable. We travelled with our parents and he was very accommodating. We managed to see 4/5 of the big five and a buffalo kill by lions in daylight! Lake Nakuru was a good add on for seeing rhinos and Rothschild giraffes albeit no flamingos. The Lake navaisha boat trip was definitely worth it to see hippos up close. The vehicle was reliable and had functional seatbelts. The accomodation was exactly as promised with no last minute changes. Both accomodations ( Sopa lodge and lake Nakuru lodge) offered good vegetarian food and even eggless dessert options. Overall a 5* experience which I would definitely recommend. Thank you African Sermon Safaris for a memorable dream come true!
Response from the operator: Dear Deepti, Thank you for sharing your detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear that your 4-day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Lake Naivasha safari was such a memorable experience and felt like a dream come true. It’s especially wonderful that you got to witness amazing wildlife moments, including a lion hunt and seeing 4 out of 5 of the Big Five - that’s truly remarkable. We’re glad Daniel was helpful and responsive during the booking process. It’s great to know that Jeremy took excellent care of your family throughout the safari. He will be very happy to hear your kind words about his patience, knowledge, and professionalism. It’s also nice to hear that the lodges met your expectations, the vegetarian food and special dessert options worked well for you, and that the vehicle and overall arrangements were comfortable and reliable. Thank you again for recommending us. We hope to welcome you back for another safari adventure in Kenya soon!

amazing safari, a million animals and beautiful people.
We had 8 days on this amazing safari - everyone was wonderful, the food quality was amazing and our guide (John) was a true master of the Mara. He was able to locate every animal we could imagine, and had deep connections to the people and the landscape in the region. He was patient and supportive - extremely knowledgeable, and made the holiday an adventure. Daniel helped us organise and book the trip and he was super-helpful and open to changes as we extended our visit. We will come again.
Response from the operator: Dear Ray, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful message. We’re absolutely delighted to hear that your 8-day safari was such a memorable experience! It’s wonderful to know that you enjoyed the food, felt well cared for by our team, and especially that John made such a positive impact on your adventure. He truly is a gem - his deep knowledge of Masai Mara and his connection to the land make every trip special. We’ll be sure to pass on your compliments to him and to Daniel as well; they’ll be thrilled to hear your words. We’re so glad Daniel was able to assist you smoothly with your booking and adjustments—your flexibility and enthusiasm made planning your trip a pleasure. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable safari! Warm regards African Sermon Safaris Team

Mara trip
Just got back from Africa and we did the 5 day Mara trip with African sermon. We saw amazing animals at Mara but our accommodations at the lechada camp were very disappointing. The grounds are in rough shape and the walk ways are missing stones and not well lite. They also have bobbed wire near the walk ways which I got cut on. The showers do not have hot water at all times, like after the safari trips and our toilet rarely flushed. The bathroom areas are concrete divided by 3 half concrete walls pretty rough. They used red paint which ran and looked like blood to write on the walls like turn off the water. The food was not great and repeated every other day. If you’re a vegetarian it’s beans everyday and minimal vegetables or fruit. We did not follow the itinerary and did not stay in hotels as listed. Our guide sent us out on the baat ride to crescent island when it was clearly going to storm. This was on our way to our hotel, when the itinerary stated an evening cruise. We all got soaked the ride was cut short, and we had to find our guide when we got back, getting soaked. It was my first experience in Africa and was disappointed in this Aspect. We loved all the animals! Just amazing.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour from Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour from Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $1050 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 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour 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 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour from Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 9 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 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour 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 4-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour 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 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour from Nairobi?
+
Around 3 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 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Safari Tour 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 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.
