    The best safari ever

    One of the best experiences of our lives! From the very beginning, Allan was always attentive to us, answering all our questions quickly and adapting to every itinerary change we suggested. He always gave us his honest opinion and made sure everything we wanted to do was actually possible. We also had an unexpected problem because, due to a strike in Nairobi, our flight to get there was cancelled, so we ended up stranded in Oman for two days. Instead of us losing those two days of safari, Allan managed to rearrange the entire safari, and we only had to pay an additional $50. Absolutely incredible! Felix, our driver, was also fantastic. He managed to make sure we saw all the animals, explained so many interesting things about each one, and made the whole experience much more than simply seeing animals and taking photos. He made the safari much more interesting and enjoyable. The hotels we stayed at were also amazing, especially the one in Amboseli. 100% recommended if you’re looking for a great safari experience. We will definitely be travelling with them again for our trip to Uganda!

    Amazing 5 Star company

    I was very apprehensive initially, but I have to admit they were amazing. The programme was 100% bespoke and the communication was amazing, normally answering all my questions via email within about a hour, and I asked a lot of questions. Our safari guides were very knowledagable and experienced. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Trust me, you will have an amazing time.

    Response from the operator: Jambo Vikkiw797. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We’re delighted to hear that our service surpassed your expectations. Providing high-quality service is at the heart of everything we do, and your feedback reassures us that we’re on the right track. We truly appreciate your trust. Should you need any further assistance, please feel free to contact us anytime.

    The best way to see the Masai Mara!

    I cannot recommend this highly enough! Excellent itinerary filled with animals and adventure, plus an exceptionally kind and caring team especially for our youngest traveler (age 6). David Oyata was our guide for ~5 days through Naivasha and the Masai Mara, and knew how to spot every animal, plus incredibly knowledgeable about Kenya (history, culture) - our family learned so much. We appreciated the communication throughout setup (thanks Phelix) and ability to tailor for our family. We are already planning our next excursion!!

    Excellent safaris - reliable and great service

    Excellent tour with very good service from Back of Africa. Very good quality provided for the price paid. They were very reliable, flexible and adaptable to our needs. The best of all, the service provided by our driver / guide Hudson. Was extremely attentive, honest, adaptable and respectful with the clients, and highly knowledgeable and passionate about wildlife. At the sometime he was always ready for a good laugh. I would definitely recommend to anyone the services of Back of Africa with Hudson as driver / guide.

    6-Day Safari to Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 6-Day Safari to Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2,699 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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara 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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara 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 4 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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara?

    +

    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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara 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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara?

    +

    Around 1 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 Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara 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 6-Day Safari to Samburu, Lake Nakuru & Masai Mara?

    Included: Tea and coffee; Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: personal effects. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
