Best 2 days of my life

We had an amazing time at Maasai Mara. The two days visit to the reserve were definitely worth our time. We had a great experience with the driver, who was also our guide. He made sure to stretch the time for us to make sure we had the best experience. I recommend this tour company and you should also try them. They are the best. They plan everything well and if there is any problem or challenge, they solve it without delay.

Response from the operator: Dear traveler, Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your two-day safari to the Maasai Mara was the highlight of your travels. It is wonderful to know that our driver-guide provided such an attentive experience and that you felt well-supported by our team throughout your journey. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we are proud to have delivered the seamless, stress-free experience we strive for. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again for another adventure in the future.

Administrative Errors

What an amazing experience. We did have some trouble with our payment. We booked through GetYourGuide.com after finding them here. There was error with them paying the on the ground vendor and we had to scramble the morning we left Nairobi. The local guide almost wouldn't take us. They insisted we had to pay in cash before they would take us despite showing them the receipt that we paid through GetYourGuide. So we found an ATM and had to withdraw cash to pay them. We eventually settled up with GetYourGuide later who refunded us. I don't know exactly what happened but all was made right in the end and we had a memorable evening, night, and sunrise safari experience on the Maasai Mara. The camp was rustic as one would expect. My favorite part of camping was meeting guests from all over the world and swapping stories around the camp fire. We saw an amazing amount of animals and were even stalked by a lioness seeking her breakfast! It was incredible. I wish we could have had at least one more day there but if your time in Kenya is limited, I highly recommend this short organized trip to get a glimpse of this part of the world.

Response from the operator: Thank you for leaving us this wonderful review, we delighted that you enjoyed bike riding apart form getting tired . Thanks also for recommendations. We welcome you to explore different destinations in the future.

THE MOST AMAZING TOUR EVER

It was an over night game drive my wife and i will never forget in the rest our lives. John our guide was there in time for the safari. He was so welcoming with very fluent command of English language making a smooth communication through out the journey. He was so well versed with the MAASAI MARA GAME RESERVE terrains where we fully enjoyed watching mother nature at its best. It was so amazing, exciting, gorgeous and enjoyable not forgetting the very best hospitality of the AA LODGE which was so serene and ambient. If it were not for time limitation, we would have stayed here for longer. I highly recommend DAY TO DAY SAFARIS to any other visitor.

Response from the operator: Thank Dickson for leaving us a wonderful review, we are delighted to know that you and your wife had an amazing time with our guide John during your 2days visit to Masai mara game reserve. we welcome you to explore different destinations in the future.

MASSIVE SCAM - Trip cannot be done in 2 days

Terrible and expensive. I paid $400 ($80 of that was park entrance fee) to spend 12 hours on the road and only 4 hours in the park. While the park & the company cannot control what wildlife we saw, the fact that I was in the park so little time left me missing the major "cats" that the rest of my group saw after I left. Let me break it down for you. I was picked up at my hotel at 0645 and taken to a meeting location. We had to wait ;until 0730 for a portion of the group to arrive. Well, that group didn't arrive until after 0830, so it was 0900 by the time we were on the road. Two hours late already. Trip was bumpy and slow - I expected that. We had lunch at some mess hall that all the tour groups stop at. Lousy food - low quality and cost. Again, not an issue if I hadn't paid $400. By the time we got to the Massaai Mara Park, it was 4pm. We got a little over two hours in the park before it closed. We then stayed in an eco lodge, which exceeded my expectations (clean, relatively comfortable beds, actual toilet, etc.). We got up at 0540 to hit the road at 0600. We got into the park just after 0600 and roamed around, not seeing much (nothing new from the night before), until 0800. Then I was picked up and escorted back to the eco lodge, where I was taken back to Nairobi with another group. Same bumpy ride back, same terrible food on the way back, and finally to my hotel again just after 1500 on day 2. So, I basically paid $400 for a bumpy, uncomfortable ride to nowhere. DO NOT DO THIS TRIP. You need at least 3 days for this trip.

Response from the operator: Hello Angella, thanks for taking your time to leave a comment though a bit negative however I will respond to your concerns one by one, first I would like to apologize for not meeting your expectations about the bumpy roads to Masai mara, I also would like to mention that this trip is worth taking and we have done so many trips (2 days) for long enough, only that your group opted to return early. I also would wish to thank you for positively mentioning our eco-lodge which exceeded your expectations in terms of cleanliness and comfortability. we really apologized kindly find a place in your heart to forgive our team.

Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi cost?

+

Prices start at $660 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 Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi take?

+

Plan for about 48 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 Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 15 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 Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi?

+

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 Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi?

+

Around 5 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi 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 Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi?

+

Included: Professional English specking guide; Bottled water; Entrance fees; Binoculars; and Lunch. Not included: Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

Does Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi include hotel pickup?

+

Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 630 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

What languages is Maasai Mara 2-Day Private Safari from Nairobi offered in?

+

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

+
