Live in Love Tours is a top notch agency
I did an internet search for a safari trip to the Masai Mara reserve. Peter reached back to me in a timely manner with suggestions on how to make the trip even better. I explained what I wanted to see and he put an itinerary together. Peter picked my husband and I up from the airport. We then headed to Oldarpoi Mara Camp. After a four hour drive we arrived. Peter made sure we were checked in and joined us for lunch. After lunch, we picked up a local guide and drove to Masai Mara. Peter and the guide did an excellent job of finding all different types of animals. That evening, we ate at the lodge and sat around the campfire, talking with Peter. The next morning Peter suggested going somewhere new besides the reserve, since we had observed all the animals. We then went to the location where Out of Africa was filmed on, at Crescent Island located on Lake Naivasha. Peter was very attentive and took many pictures for us. That evening we headed back to Nairobi. He listened to our likes about food and took us to a restaurant, that was delicious and safe. Then Peter took us to our hotel, which he had reserved, near Nairobi National Park. Peter left us for the night. We had a authentic Bush Dinner, outide, overlooking Nairobi National Park. The next day, Peter picked us up at 9 am. He knew exactly what time to be at the Giraffe Center to feed the giraffes from our hands. Then Peter took us to the Elephant Orphanage. Again, Peter knew when to arrive and where to stand for the best view. Once we finished watching the baby elephants, Peter took us to Nairobi National Park. Again, he did an amazing job finding animals. He was even able to spot a black and white rhinoceros. Peter took us to an trendy restaurant for lunch which bordered the Park. After lunch, we went back into the park. Finally, Peter took us to a hotel near the airport for a very early flight. Peter walked us into the hotel and made sure the shuttle would pick us up very early and that we could pay with credit card. Peter was an invaluable tour guide. He made a trip in a foreign country, flawless, exciting, and interesting. Live in Love Kenya Tours is a top notch operation.

Wonderful Masai Mara safari with Peter
We had a brilliant experience on our safari with Peter. He took great care to make sure we were having a good time. Yes the vehicle was a bit old and tatty but we paid for a budget safari so we weren’t expecting luxury. We had some great adventures with Peter and saw so much more than just the animals (and we saw soooo many), it was a real cultural experience. Would definitely recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🌟 We’re delighted to hear that you had a brilliant safari with Peter and enjoyed not only the amazing wildlife but also the cultural side of the journey. Peter truly loves making every safari memorable, and we’re glad you felt well taken care of. We appreciate your understanding about the vehicle since this was a budget safari, and we’re happy it didn’t take away from the adventure. It means a lot that you would recommend us — we look forward to welcoming you again for more unforgettable experiences!

Breathtaking experience!
Our safari tour in the Maasai Mara National Park was incredibly beautiful. Our driver, Sugow, drove very well despite the poor road conditions. He adjusted to our wishes and was very patient with how long we wanted to observe the animals. We really enjoyed seeing all the different animals up close, like elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, crocodiles, hippos, and many more. The tour guide also told us a lot about the animals and answered all our questions. A special experience was having lunch under a beautiful tree. We were surrounded by antelopes in the distance, which we could observe well. Although the planned tour time had already passed, Sugow took us to the cheetah and other animals. We had a really nice and breathtaking time together.
Response from the operator: Thanks very much for the positive comments and reviews about the service . We are happy to you enjoyed and shared your experience and great moments at Masai Mara we are always Looking forward to give you the best and thanks for sharing your positive feedback.

Unforgettable Kenyan Adventures: Exploring the Wild with Peter Leweika
About two weeks ago, I went to Kenya and met Peter Leweika when he showed me around Nairobi National Park in his Land Cruiser. The experience was fantastic. You can tell he knows the park like the back of his hand because he took us on the exact route to see giraffes, zebras, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and more, multiple times. He also offers very complete city tours in Nairobi (which include the Giraffe Centre and the Elephant Orphanage) for those who prefer to stay in the city. His knowledge of wildlife, his friendliness, experience, and professionalism led me to go on a second adventure with him, this time to Maasai Mara National Park for two days. I must say, he knows someone from the Maasai Mara community, and with that perspective from a local villager, the two-day tour through the park was the most incredible experience I’ve ever had. Seeing animals roam free, behaving naturally—raw and wild. Exploring the park with Peter was a pleasure. He’s a great person. I highly recommend traveling through Kenya with him, under his leadership, to discover the most authentic and honest version of the country. Thank you, Peter!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed and glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you had such a fantastic experience with our driver and guide at Nairobi National Park and Maasai Mara National Park. It's wonderful to know that Peter's extensive knowledge of the parks, his friendliness, and professionalism made your adventures memorable. We're glad you enjoyed the city tours and the unique perspective from the Maasai Mara community. We appreciate your high recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for more incredible experiences in Kenya. Thank you!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Masai Mara Daily Game drives: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Masai Mara Daily Game drives cost?
+
Prices start at $460 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 Masai Mara Daily Game drives take?
+
Plan for about 40 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 Masai Mara Daily Game drives worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Masai Mara Daily Game drives?
+
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 Masai Mara Daily Game drives suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 40-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Masai Mara Daily Game drives?
+
Around 2 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 40-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Masai Mara Daily Game drives 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.
