Fantastic experiences! Loved it!
Everything was very well organised and it was a fantastic experience! Our driver Charly was great spotting animals. We truly enjoy it. The only negative is that the pack lunches were not good. But overall, it was a fantastic experience!
via Viator
Very beautiful and interesting trip
Very good experience, nice visits to the parks. The guide/driver Edward was very nice, sweet and helpful. Good accommodations and food. The price for the parks were more than expected, so it would be nice if it was clearer before booking.

6 day Masai mara, lake Nakuru and Amboseli private safari
6-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Private Safari As I booked a trip with Grayton Expeditions last year it was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Well, it was not. Since then, I have been to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. It was clear to me, I had to go for a second time. As I am a single travelling woman it is important to me everything is well organised, and then there is no better organisation than Grayton Expeditions! Sandra from Grayton Expeditions is such a caring person and makes you feel at home, I like very much the eco-friendly way of travelling, suspending wildlife conservation by booking a trip with Grayton Expeditions and the possibility of getting involved in the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust team by sponsoring a baby Elephant. Thank you, Sandra and the team for all your efforts. After my 6-day safari, I spent some days with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust team, and too soon, the time was there to go back home. I already miss my Kenyan friends a lot and I cannot imagine never going back again.

12 day Gorilla safari
12-Day Gorilla Safari In our opinion, Uganda is underestimated in terms of a safari venue. We have been on 3 previous safaris, Kenya/Tanzania, Botswana/Zambia and South Africa. Uganda is right up there with the best. We only went to see the gorillas, but we were pleasantly surprised by the other animals we saw. We particularly liked the Murchison Falls National Park, a lovely location where the Nile is forced through a narrow gap, and we were lucky enough to see a whole range of wild animals, including elephants, giraffes, buffalo & lions. The gorilla tracking was a wonderful experience. We were lucky enough to find them quite quickly, and our family had 3 silverbacks, which we saw all at once. The accommodation and food were fine. Our driver/guide, Paul, was excellent; we felt safe and well-informed. We were the only two on the safari and it was fantastic to have the bus to ourselves. We could open the roof to get up and down to take photos whenever we chose and we could set our own pace. Having now been on two safaris with On Track, we have found it is far better than being on a group tour and no more expensive.

6 day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli budget safari
6-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli Budget Safari Grayton Expeditions offers a brilliant small group tour which is then personalised within. The staff are amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to make your trip remarkable. Not only do you get to see a variety of animals over the 3 reserves, from the Big 5 to the birds and insects, but you also learn how to predict what you might see. The experiences about how to use your senses efficiently and track animal spurs and dropping are essential to becoming fully engrossed in the experience. The staff at all 3 reserves were efficient, friendly, knowledgeable and approachable, while the varying accommodation gives you different insights into Kenya. The food at all locations was tailored to individuals, and believe me, you never went hungry! Delicious. There was a lot of driving but even at this time you learnt a lot and the transport was always very comfortable. Travelling was tailored around the group. This was the perfect safari for anyone who wanted to experience a variety within Kenya and didn’t have time to set it up! The consistent staff made you feel safe (particularly as a solo traveller, although in the group, I never felt alone), and the fantastic communication from Sandra; a big thank you to the team all around you.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari cost?
+
Prices start at $585 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 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari take?
+
Plan for about 144 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 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 24 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 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli 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 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Budget Safari?
+
Around 8 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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6-Day 5 Nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli 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.
