The best experience of my life
Hello. I highly recommend Joyina Safaris to everyone but especially to the first time travelers . They make you feel like you are their family. From the start Joyina Safaris always answer any wiestions you may have they are very professional in their eork ethics and how they treat each customer The beginning of the safari was simply a cordial greeting which made me feel very welcome. The 6 day safari I was on was extremely well organized starting from a long drive to Masai Mara with many stops along tbe way for lunch coffee and restroom breaks. The accommodations in the lodges were so charming and cozy that I slept so comfortable and was ready for my adventures the next morning. We had an excellent driver/guide named Daniel thanks to whom we saw soooooo many animals and even those usually hard to spot. Also thanks to Daniel"s driving skills we never got stuck in the ditches on the park grounds but so many other cars unfortunately did. Because my group was returning to Nairobi after 3 days I was transferred to another car with another driver to continue on my 6 day journey. Everything the whole logistics was so well organized, the communication between the drivers was smooth and my transfer took place with no delays to Lake Nakuru and then Amboseli Our driver/guide was Patric. You could tell that African wildlife is his passion. He tought us so many interesting things about all the animals we encountered. He had a book called "Safari guide to East Africa animals ", sometimes he used it to show us the difference between subspecies of certain animals for example the white and black rhinos. Needless to say I found this book on Amazon and ordered it for myself I could talk about my trip for the rest if my life but I will just say this: my lifetime dream of going on a safari in Kenya came true thanks to Joyina Safaris. I am greatful for their excellent customer care , our well being was their priority. The food was great and drinks along the way ere aleays at hand The lodges were charming and comfortable. After the safari was finished, the driver brought us back to our Nairobi hotels and later that evening Joyina asked in a message if everything went OK with the drop off ! This is excellent service ! And thanks to the fantastic guides, and land cruisers in great condition we were able to see the magic of Kenya ! I will be back and i definitely will go with Joyina Safaris again !

He taught us so much about the animals, their behavior, and the beautiful nature around us. He always took his time to answer our questions and made sure we had the best possible experience. We felt completely comfortable and safe throughout the entire safari. Calvin’s passion and knowledge made the experience even more special, and we were able to create memories that we will never forget. ❤️ We highly recommend Joyina Safari and especially Calvin as a guide! If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, we can wholeheartedly recommend booking with them. 🇰🇪✨ 1 person found this review helpful. Did you?

As a Kenyan, I finally took my first local safari, and taking my parents and daughter with Joyina Safaris Africa was the best decision I've made this year! Let me tell you why; Right from the start, they made it so easy with a stress-free payment plan. If I had known about this earlier I'd have be on safaris every season! On departure day, Joy and her team received us like royals! Their smiles and hugs warmed the rather cold Nairobi weather! We had a few foreign nationals in our tour vehicle, and Joy personally made sure they were well prepped, informed, and ready for a seamless safari. We left Nairobi in the highest spirits with our driver/guide, Ben. The drive was smooth, seamless, and incredibly safe. No chaotic overlapping or risky overtaking! Once we hit the Maasai Mara, Ben turned into a wildlife whisperer. He knows those trails like the back of his... Read more 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
6-Day Safari to 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 Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, & Amboseli budget safari cost?
+
Prices start at $640 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 Safari to 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 Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, & Amboseli budget safari worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 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 Safari to 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 Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, & Amboseli budget safari suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 144-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 6-Day Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, & Amboseli budget safari?
+
Around 0 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 Safari to 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 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.
