This is a private Transfer for your party only. This transfer is for clients who have booked Lodges in Maasai mara and they just want to be dropped to Maasai mara. The lodges have their own open Jeeps for game drives but they dont pick in Nairobi due to regulations restricting open sided cars on highways. They only pick at the gate.

Disgraceful
Pick up was great… friendly engaging educational. Return to airport was another story . We have an 11:30/23:30 flight and we were told 10am pickup from JW Marriott… insane ! Argued for hours of our expensive vacation. We requested 3 or 4pm and were denied over and over . Insisted 1pm.. well we arrived at 5:15 and we can not even check in until 7:30. I’m fuming that you dumped 2 women off … this is your business - you are well aware of procedures. Disgraceful. We have to stand here for 2 hours ! Hot as hell and we can not even get a water
Response from the operator: Dear Shannah, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy that the Pick up was great and very educative. We are also truly sorry to hear about the frustration you experienced at the airport and understand how upsetting this must have felt at the end of your vacation. Please allow us to clarify the reasoning behind the early Pick up and drop off at the Airport. For all airport transfers, particularly from the Maasai Mara to Nairobi, we plan drop-offs well in advance of flight time. We always encourage to drop off clients at least 2 hours before the Flight. This is because route is highly unpredictable due to the long distance, weather, and frequent traffic congestion when approaching Nairobi along Mai Mahiu and Summit where in case of traffic it takes a very long time to clear up. These factors are entirely beyond our control and can cause significant delays. In that regard our recommendation is always made as a precaution to ensure guests arrive at the airport safely and with sufficient time for check-in and security procedures. Unfortunately, when flights are missed due to road delays, tour operators are often held responsible. The earlier departure time was therefore chosen solely to protect you from the risk of traffic and avoid any chance of missing your international flight. While we understand the waiting time at the airport was uncomfortable, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport has multiple terminals and facilities, including cafés and seating areas where passengers may wait prior to check-in opening. Regarding refreshments, once guests are dropped at the airport, services such as food and beverages fall outside our scope of responsibility, as airport facilities independently manage these amenities. We genuinely regret that this experience caused distress and assure you that the intention was never to inconvenience you, but to prioritize your safety, punctuality, and travel security. Your feedback is valuable to us and will be reviewed carefully as we continue to improve our guest communication around transfer timings. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. Warm regards, Clara

A wonderful transfer
We went from the Masai Mara to Nairobi on a nice and relaxed transfer. Phillip was super friendly and a great conversation. Wanted to stop at the rift valley but it was too hazy for us to see. Got to Nairobi in a very reasonable amount of time. Would absolutely book again.
Response from the operator: Hello Eli, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are thrilled that your drive from Masai Mara to Nairobi with Phillip was wonderful. We are thrilled that Phillip was super friendly and great at conversations and that you got in Nairobi in a reasonable time. We look forward to serving you again on your next Safari maybe this time you will have a stopover to view the Great Rift Valley. Thank you and see you soon. Thank you. Warm regards, Clara

Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road cost?
+
Prices start at $63 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 Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road?
+
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 Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road?
+
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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transfer from Nairobi Airport or city To Maasai Mara By Road 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.
