"Beyond expectations, trustworthy tour oparator'
Our 4-day overland safari in the Masai Mara was an absolutely unforgettable experience! The Mara Serena Safari Lodge was fantastic, with a beautiful location, excellent facilities, and spectacular views of the Mara. Waking up surrounded by such breathtaking scenery was truly special. A special mention goes to our guide, Johnson, who was knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made every game drive enjoyable. His dedication and knowledge of the wildlife really added to the experience. One of the biggest highlights was witnessing the spectacular Mara River crossing. Seeing the wildebeest crossing the river in such dramatic fashion was an incredible experience and a memory we will treasure for years to come. A big thank you to Right choice team for excellent arrangements and for making the entire journey smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. Everything was well coordinated, and we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. Highly recommended to anyone looking for an unforgettable Masai Mara safari experience!

Seamless Itinerary, Outstanding Value, and Unmatched Kindness
If I could give George 10 stars, I would. Our journey to the Masai Mara was delayed multiple times due to personal reasons and last-minute visa issues on the day of our flight. Throughout all of this, George was incredibly kind, honest, and flexible—holding our deposit money across nearly a year until we could finally make the trip in June 2026. When we finally arrived, the trip was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The guide was highly experienced, the hotel choices were excellent, and the itinerary was seamless. Before booking, I inquired with 7 or 8 different operators, and George was by far the most economical without compromising on quality. If you want a trustworthy, accommodating, and top-tier tour operator, look no further than George! Thanks a ton for putting up with us.
Response from the operator: Jambo 877santosht, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to me. It was an absolute pleasure assisting you throughout the entire journey, even with the unexpected changes and delays. I completely understood the circumstances, and I was just happy that everything finally came together and you were able to experience the Masai Mara as planned. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed the safari, the accommodations, our experienced guide, and the overall itinerary. Your satisfaction is the greatest reward for all the effort we put into creating memorable experiences for our guests. Thank you for trusting Right Choice Safaris despite the long wait, and for recommending us so highly. We sincerely appreciate your patience, confidence, and support. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Kenya for another unforgettable adventure in the future. Safe travels, and thank you once again!

STAY AWAY - SCAM
STAY AWAY FROM RIGHT CHOICE SAFARI - SCAM!!! We paid everything in full before our trip, but when we arrived at the masai Mara national park the park fee was not paid. George called us and asked if we could pay, and he would reimburse us in a couple of days. It has now been 3 months and I have not received my reimbursement. We had the most amazing guide, Kasaine and had a wonderful trip. So I fint it very sad that it had to end this way.
Response from the operator: Dear Voyage, Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused regarding the park fee reimbursement. First, we are truly glad to hear that you had an amazing safari experience and that Kasaine made your journey memorable. We will be sure to pass your kind words to him—he will really appreciate it. Regarding the park fee issue, we completely understand your concern. Please allow us to clarify that this matter has already been escalated to our finance team and is currently in the final stages of processing. The delay has been longer than expected, and we sincerely apologize for the lack of timely resolution and communication on our side. We also regret the situation you experienced at the park entrance, as this is not the standard we aim to deliver to our guests. Kindly bear with us as we finalize the reimbursement. If you could please share your booking reference and payment details again via [company email/contact], we will ensure your case is prioritized and resolved as soon as possible. We truly value your feedback, and we are sorry that this issue affected the end of an otherwise wonderful safari experience.

Warning: Great Safari Experience – But Serious Issues with Payment and Operator
We had a really great safari with the family. But beware of what happened to us! Like everyone else, we had paid in advance. When we arrived at one of the parks where we were supposed to stay, they hadn’t paid the park fee. We were asked to pay on site, with the promise that we would be reimbursed immediately. That still hasn’t happened, even though it’s been almost three months. It’s about $1,000 that we’ve effectively paid twice. We have now chosen to report this operator to the police. So be careful with this clearly unprofessional and dishonest company. We had an absolutely fantastic guide, whom I recommend to everyone I meet—but not with Right Choice Safaris behind them.
Response from the operator: Dear 809tobi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re truly glad to hear that you and your family had a great safari experience and enjoyed your guide. We are, however, very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced regarding the park fees. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating this situation must have been especially after already making advance payment. The reimbursement for the park fees paid on site was initiated long time ago, actually there were two attempts after the first one failed due to challenges with correct SWIFT address. A copy of the swift transfer was shared with you as a confirmation of our commitment. We are now looking at the Western Union Money transfer as the next option. We sincerely apologize for the delay and the lack of timely communication on this matter. We truly appreciate your patience and the positive remarks about your guide, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your trust in the future.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
4 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 4 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $975 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 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari 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 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 49 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 4 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 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 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari 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 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge Safari?
+
Around 17 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 Days Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Lodge 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.
