Amazing 2 day safari experience! Thanks Joy & Jimmy!
We had a wonderful visit to the Masai Mara with Kenya safari bookings. Joy at the office helped me set up a perfect itinerary and made sure to answer all my questions. We got picked up from our AirBnb at 6:30 and boarded a Toyota Land cruiser to start the trip around 8 am. It was a comfortable vehicle and Jimmy was a great driver & guide. We visited the Masai village first day evening. Bit of a tourist trap, but we figured it helps them run the school so why not. The Mara Ntulele camp was awesome. Food was great, including many vegetarian options. We started the game drive at 6 am on Day 2. Jimmy made sure to get us close to many animals. Just driving on the African savannah is amazing! We saw lions, cheetah, elephants, Buffalo, giraffe and wild beast. Reached Nairobi around 5pm. It was a great experience - highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank You so much for the great review, We will surely pass your regards to Joy & Jimmy for the awesome work they did. We are looking forward to referrals to friends and family

Magical trip to Maasai Mara
Worked with Allan over email to book trip. He was great to work with - very responsive, informative and flexible. Ultimately chose KSB for 2-day/1 night group safari to Maasai Mara. Included pick-up and drop off at Nairobi hotel, lodging and meals at new mid-level tent camp Mara Ntulele Camp, one game drive and visit to local Maasai village. I opted to forego that visit for a second game drive with extra cost of park entry fees. Luckily our group only included another solo traveler and a father/daughter couple. James was our guide and couldn’t have been better. Friendly demeanor, very informative, and a great guide. Spotted so many amazing creatures and James always had us well positioned for best sights and pictures. I joined another KSB group for the extra game drive. The guide for that group was Jeff and he was equally great. Even managed to spot the elusive leopard.
Response from the operator: Thank You so Much Mark for this Great review, we appreciate it much, and we believe you will refer us to friends and family to safari with us, Thank You so much!

Overnight Safari To Maasai Mara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Overnight Safari To Maasai Mara cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Safari To Maasai Mara 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 Safari To Maasai Mara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 17 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 Safari To Maasai Mara?
+
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 Safari To Maasai Mara 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 Safari To Maasai Mara?
+
Around 6 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 Safari To Maasai Mara 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.

Not included: Gratuities; Masai Mara park fees(JAN-JUNE 30TH 100USD/person per day,JULY-DEC 200USD/person per day); and Alcoholic Beverages.

+

What languages is Overnight Safari To Maasai Mara offered in?
+
