    Amazing Safari with Zazu!!

    The most amazing 4/5 day experience in Navaisha, Nakuru and the Masai Mara with Joel! From the moment we were collected, Joel greeted us warmly and we knew we were in for an amazing experience. Joel provided knowledge, comfort and just an overall feeling that we knew we were destined for magic. The game driving was unbelievable we saw all the animals the Parks had to offer and Joel always found a way to ensure we felt like we were on our own out there, making it all that more special. The best thing about this tour, was the knowledge Joel provided while we were on the safari, always explaining things and educating us about Kenya, wildlife and Africa!! The food was great at the accomodation, the rooms were comfortable and special, the scenery special. Thank you to Zazu, Joel for making this tour special!!! We will be back and booking with Zazu :) From Tom and Judy! 2 Australians travelling to Africa !

    Response from the operator: Dear Tom/Judy, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your incredible experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your safari through Naivasha, Nakuru, and the Masai Mara was nothing short of magical. We’re so glad you enjoyed the accommodations, the food, and the stunning scenery. It was an honor hosting two wonderful Australians, and we truly cannot wait to welcome you back for your next African adventure. We look forward to welcoming you again in Africa.

    5 wonderful days in 4 national parks

    Fantastic and miraculous! Already on the first day of the safari in Masai Mara, we saw already 4 bigs and the next day gepards, too. So, the collection of the big 5 was perfect. It could not have been better. And the service was excellent. With hindsight, I checked it up, I had exchanged 103 e-mails with the travel agent for 4 consecutive months and sometimes I had the impression she knew better what I wanted to than myself. Moreover, I can say, without her, we could not attend the whole tour, because I had had the false information that the visa could be get at the airport in Nairobi. But she, Damaris arranged it for us when we were already at the stopover in Cairo. And let's not forget the guide, Chris who knew every inch of the national parks we visited. By the way, since later on, at the beach the service of the hotel was not to be compared with that of Zazu Safari Venture, I can only suggest if someone wants to get a unique experince, it should apply to Zazu.

    Response from the operator: Hello Lajos, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words. Reading your description of that first day in the Masai Mara—spotting four of the Big Five brought a huge smile to our entire team. The Mara has a way of showing its magic. I will pass your regards along to them both; Damaris will be touched that you remembered your '103-emails!' We believe that the best safaris are built on those small details, and she was more than happy to jump in during your Cairo stopover to ensure your journey continued smoothly. At Zazu, we don't just plan trips; we look after our guests until they are safely back home. Chris will also be thrilled to hear your shout-out. He takes great pride in his 'backyard,' and he will be delighted he could help you find those cheetahs (gepards) and the rest of the incredible wildlife. While we are sorry the service provider you used for your beach stay didn't quite live up to the safari experience, we are honored to be your gold standard for hospitality in Kenya. We hope to welcome you back to the savannah again soon! Karibuni tena.

    Great tour operator, amazing guide Nathan

    Great tour operator, amazing guide Nathan! Zazu was a reliable fairly priced tour operator that I would strongly recommend to others. Nathan our guide and driver was top notch and amazing all around. Great hospitality and customer service, he knows all the spots and knows all the little tricks to spot wildlife. His eyesight is incredible too. I didn't realize how a great guide can make or break a safari and Nathan really delivered. Request for him if you book with Zazu.

    Response from the operator: Hello Calvin, Thank you for entrusting us with your safari. We are grateful that you have an amazing and memorable safari. Glad to hear that Nathan was a great guide and did deliver. Thank you for sharing your review and we look forward to hosting you again.

    Amazing guide on amazing tour

    Amazing time with Joel!! Go for it with eyes closed :) We had such a good time, everything was well planned and Joel was super keen on answering our questions about kenyan life and animals we were seeing. We honestly couldn’t have dreamed better and wish everyone to witness the scenery.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Candice for a great review about your experience with us. Really appreciate it.

    5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha cost?

    +

    Prices start at $1,373 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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha 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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha?

    +

    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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha 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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha?

    +

    Around 2 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 Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha 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.

    What is included in 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha?

    +

    Included: Transport in a customized safari van with a pop-up roof in Masai Mara and Nakuru; Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and Transport in a small comfortable car in the Naivasha Part. Not included: Tips (optional) per person per day. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 254 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Nairobi. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Naivasha?
