Life changing safari

What happened to us during these five unforgettable days felt like a whole little lifetime of its own. Going on safari and seeing the Big Five is one of those dreams that almost everyone has at some point in their life. We had been planning this trip for a long time and spent quite a while choosing the right company and guide — and we were incredibly lucky to find Jungle Roam Safari. From the very beginning, the team was quick to respond and offered us several options for different budgets and itineraries. We chose three days of safari in the Masai Mara, followed by two days exploring Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru. On the day we arrived, our guide Jimmy met us at the airport — and that’s when our adventure truly began. Jimmy is either an incredibly professional guide or he somehow magically attracts all the animals… most likely both! 😄 During these days, not only did we see all of the Big Five, but also more than 20 other species of animals. Everything was perfectly organized and always on time — no delays, no waiting, just enjoying every moment of the journey. Without a doubt, this was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. I would absolutely recommend Jungle Roam Safari, and especially Jimmy, to anyone dreaming of experiencing a safari in Kenya. ❤️

Ali's team

Best thing about our trip: our tour guy, 'Big Ali'. He was like our father for 6 day. He is funny, outgoing and deliver greatly. We saw the Big 5s. Everything was according to the plan. We couldn't be happier with the accomodations. The group was amazing!!!

AMAZING!!

We booked our 5 days Safari with JungleRoam and everything was perfect!! Our guide, Elias, was simply amazing!!! He is very well-prepared, kind and ready to meet our needs! Thanks to his experience we managed to spotted the big 5 and so much more! Thanks to him we were able to witness a herd of elephants crossing right in front of our eyes. It was simply unforgettable!!! Thank you, Elias, for making our safari such a magical experience.

5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari: questions travelers ask

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

How much does 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $817 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 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari take?

+

Plan for about 120 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 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 30 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 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget 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 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget Safari?

+

Around 11 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does 5 Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha Daily Budget 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.
