This touring company shaped my experience in Kenya and made it perfect
As an avid traveler, Perfect Wilderness is the best touring company I’ve experienced. Once I booked the tour for the national park, elephant orphanage, giraffe center and kazuri beads, I contacted the owner, George, to see if the orphanage was still closed. Firstly, he was very responsive and so nice. He asked me what other plans I had and told me that Maasai Mara was a must see. I told him my itinerary for my trip to Kenya and he managed to create the perfect itinerary for my whole trip that would allow me and my friend to go to Maasai Mara for at least one night. He also organized a pick up for me at the airport with the guide that would take us to Maasi Mara so that we can get to know him before our trip and he could give us a rundown of how our tour will go. Our tour guide, Sammy, will forever be family to us after this trip. We had such a great time with him! He was funny, patient, flexible, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt comfortable at all times. Words cannot adequately express how much we appreciate Sammy’s hospitality on this trip. Our experience with Sammy will always be a memorable one and we already miss him dearly. Our game drive was also a perfect one. We managed to see 3 out of the big 5 on just our first day. We were so lucky to see a pride of lions up close, as well as buffalos and elephants. On the second day, Sammy made it his mission for us to see a leopard and we did! We were so happy! The lodging we stayed at, Jambo Mara, was also great and well organized. George gave us 3 options for lodges that were budget, comfort, or luxury. If you are looking for tours while in Kenya, please choose this company. They have an array of tours and they are dedicated to ensuring that your trip is a great one.
Response from the operator: Hello Dee, Thank you for the great and detailed feedback about your trip with us. We are delighted to read that you had a great experiences and George and Sammy contributed to this. They create memorable experiences to our clients. We are also happy to read that the selection of hotels offered comfort. Our back office team help in making trip planning seamless and so easy. We hope to have you again in future as we plan another trip for you.

Perfect Safari Experience :)
Sorry for the long review but I want to explain this extraordinary experience a bit in detail. I am an airline pilot and flew to Nairobi. I had 2 days before I fly back to my base, so I had to act quickly and find the best option to have a safari in Masai Mara and visit Masai tribe. This option was the best one considering my limited time. After reading the reviews of Perfect Wilderness Safari, I gave them a call and we organized the trip. They took us from the hotel at 7:00am. We were at the Masai Mara gate at 1:30pm and started safari directly. We headed to the lodge near the park at 6:30pm. We covered a big area in the park and could see the 3 out of big 5 although it was January, the grass was tall and most of the animals migrated to Serengeti. Next morning we had another game drive in the park from 6:30 am to 9:00am. We again saw many types of animals including a female lion searching for a hunt, a very big pack of hyenas and some big vultures. Then we visited Masai tribe, spent an hour there and headed back to Nairobi. We arrived at Nairobi around 4:30pm. It was really a great experience and our guide was perfect. The lodge we stayed in was very nice. We mainly had the same experience with 3-day-tours because I think the third day is only for return trip to Nairobi for those tours. If you have limited time, this tour is perfect. I would prefer this tour even if I had time and I would visit Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha on the third day to see flamingos and hippos. Thank you for everything Sammy and George :)
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for taking time to write us a wonderful review. We are delighted to read that you had an amazing tour to Masai Mara with us. Indeed Masai Mara is a must visit. Our clients experiences are of prime importance to us and we work hard to turn moments into lifetime memories. We appreciate your great sentiments on Sammy and George, they are indeed the company's true gem. We invite you to travel with us again in future as we explore other destinations.

Amazing Trip with Perfect Wilderness
The adventure started from Nairobi within 6 hours travel to Masai. We gave two breaks for smoke and lunch. The places where we gave breaks were so fantastic. When we arrived to Masai Mara directly started to game driving in National reserve with friendly driver Nathan. Thanks to him for explanations and support and his organization. The hotel was so fancy, dinner and breakfast were perfect. The most beautiful thing for the hotel was view. You can see and hear the animals through this view:) In the second day, We completed finding BIG FIVE. On my return way to Nairobi, the driver Tony also so helpful, we saw cheetahs who were eating which was incredible. I can advise the people that they have to go to Masai Mara and through Perfect Wilderness.
Response from the operator: Hello Seyma, Thank you for leaving us a wonderful review ,the bubble rating and recommending us to the trip advisor readers. We are delighted to read that you had an amazing safari with us and our driver guides, Tony and Nathan played a role in this. They are indeed the company's true gem. They go above and beyond to ensure our clients have the best stay in Kenya. Safari in Masai Mara is simply magical, lending one the opportunity to spot variety of wild animals including the big five and this is enhanced by the five-star experience at Mara Serena Safari Lodge. We take great care in selecting accommodations for our clients and always recommend places that will turn moments into wonderful memories. We would like to have you again in future and explore other destinations in Kenya!

Overnight Maasai Mara Private Safari From Nairobi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Overnight Maasai Mara Private Safari From Nairobi cost?
+
Prices start at $200 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 Overnight Maasai Mara 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 Overnight Maasai Mara Private Safari From Nairobi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 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 Overnight Maasai Mara 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 Overnight Maasai Mara Private Safari From Nairobi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Overnight Maasai Mara Private Safari From Nairobi?
+
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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Overnight Maasai Mara 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.
