The Perfect Masai Mara & Naivasha Adventure

We had an outstanding experience with this travel agency from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized, from our safari in the Masai Mara to our stay in Naivasha. The travel agent was incredibly helpful while planning our itinerary, offering excellent advice and responding to every question with remarkable speed and efficiency. Throughout our trip, they regularly checked in to make sure everything was going smoothly, which gave us great peace of mind. Our guide was exceptional. He spoke both English and French fluently, was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife of the Masai Mara, and shared fascinating insights that made every game drive even more enjoyable. He was also a pleasure to spend time with and drove very safely throughout the trip. The safari van was comfortable and well suited for long game drives. The accommodations selected for us were of a high standard. The entire experience was simply excellent. My family and I are absolutely delighted with our trip, and we highly recommend this travel agency to anyone looking for a professionally organized, stress-free, and unforgettable safari experience.

Everything was taken care of. Amazing and easy.

I can't say enough positive things about working with Lillian. My first call with her was at 8:00AM on a Sunday, and I had a 10:00 AM flight to Masai Mara. I was traveling alone, had no Safari set up, no transport from the airport, AND, my plans for lodging also fell through. Lillian took care of everything! She found me a guide to met me at the airstrip, a wonderful place to stay, and entry to the park, all for a reasonable price. She was always available and checked in to see how things were going. I am so grateful. I would have been absolutely lost without her. And my safari was a dream come true!! My guide was wonderful. I am so lucky he was available for me. You are in good hands with Lillian.

Incredible experience and wonderful people!

It was truly amazing! The drive in the park, the nature walk, the visit to the Maasai village—my friends and I enjoyed it a lot! Wonderful people, good food and nice accommodation!

An expertly organised trip

From Day 1, Lilian has helped building out my entire itinerary, not just for the Mara, but for Kenya as a whole. She has been extremely helpful and I would wholeheartedly commend her on her responsiveness, her detail oriented ness and her penchant for helping out (even when not asked for help explicitly). This makes her a quality employee in the hospitality industry! The trip in itself was superb. All pick ups, drops expertly organised. The accommodation at Enkorok was great too. Lilian helped out every moment when we needed something here too. The Masai Mara experience was splendid, our driver and guide was knowledgable and well connected to know where the action was at. All in all, would really recommend Poa Safaris, and Lilian, for your trip to any national park in East Africa!

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a seamless and memorable experience, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Lilian—she truly embodies the care we strive to give. We’d love to welcome you back to East Africa again with Poa Safaris!

Masai Mara Interactive Safaris: questions travelers ask

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

How does Masai Mara Interactive Safaris compare to similar tours in Nairobi?

+

It ranks #4 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 84. At $560 it sits above the typical similar option ($238), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans.

Who is Masai Mara Interactive Safaris best for?

+

It suits travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 72-hour length, minimum age of 1 and free cancellation up to 144 hours before.

Is Masai Mara Interactive Safaris good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at $560, above the $238 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.

How much does Masai Mara Interactive Safaris cost?

+

Prices start at $560 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 Interactive Safaris 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 Masai Mara Interactive Safaris worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Masai Mara Interactive Safaris?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 144 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 Interactive Safaris 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 72-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Masai Mara Interactive Safaris?

+

Around 16 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 Masai Mara Interactive Safaris 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 Masai Mara Interactive Safaris?

+

Included: Service of a professional English speaking driver guide; Transport based on a specially equipped safari vehicle with a pop-up roof; Mineral water; Full board accommodation on safari; and Game drives as per the Itinerary. Not included: Extras at the lodges i.e. drinks, telephone, laundry etc; International flight and departure tax; Balloon safari that can be organized at an extra cost; and Visas, Travel and personal accident insurance.
