Excellent service, tons of wildlife
I went on a 6 day safari with my youngest son. Overall a great experience, well organized, John was a great driver and we saw tons of wildlife. Services provided by Silas were excellent. He even booked a trainticket for us to Mombassa and a transfer to Diani, really helping us out.

Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How does Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour compare to similar tours in Nairobi?
+
It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 58. At $1,600 it sits above the typical similar option ($58), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.
Who is Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour best for?
+
It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 72-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.
Is Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour good value?
+
It is a premium pick. It starts at $1,600, above the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.
How much does Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $1,600 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 Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour?
+
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 Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour?
+
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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour 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 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 3 days group joining safari to Maasai Mara with a Land Cruiser Jeep. 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 Big 5 Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru 4 Days Safari Private Tour?
+
Included: Lunch; Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Travel and medical insurances; Optional Entry fee to Masai Village @ 30 USD per person; and Tips and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
