A magical and adventurous experience.
A truly fantastic, magical, and exciting experience. I travelled to this safari with my wife and twins aged 6 years old. Our driver, Hasimi, was fantastic. He was kind, he was generous, he had so much knowledge about the wilderness and the landscape. He drove us around for hours and hours to find incredible, beautiful, and majestic animals in the Galana Conservancy. We found giraffes, elephants, water buffaloes, oryx and gazelles, hippos, crocodiles, and even a family of lions, including cubs. The highlight was watching a male lion walk across the water, which was incredible. We highly recommend the experience; the operator took care of us and communicated well as we were travelling in from London. The vehicle we were in was brilliant. The Land Cruiser is spacious, and when you can put your head out the top of the car, it's incredible to see the scenery all around you.

An Unforgettable Kenya Experience – Exceptional Service from Start to Finish
We had an amazing family trip to Kenya in May 2026, and the agency made the entire experience exceptional. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making our journey smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. The staff were professional, friendly, and always ready to help. Their recommendations, attention to detail, and outstanding service truly exceeded our expectations. The food, accommodations, and overall arrangements were excellent, and most importantly, our whole family was happy throughout the trip. Highly recommended for anyone planning a memorable and well-organized trip to Kenya. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Highly Recommended.
It was an amazing well curated experience in Kenya. Our trip was extremely customized. Aslan made sure that we didnot waste a minute. We were directly picked up from the airport and taken to Masai Mara. Shaddy is your guide if you are looking for one. On the first day of arrival he made sure that we had already spotted the big 5. After a few days of Mara and Nairobi, Ol Pejeta was icing on the cake.
Response from the operator: Hello! It is a pleasure to know that your customized journey from the Maasai Mara to Ol Pejeta was such a success We take great pride in our logistics and are glad that our team's planning allowed you to maximize every moment of your time in Kenya. Shaddy is a valued expert, and hearing that he helped you spot the Big 5 on your first day is exactly the kind of experience we strive to provide. It was a privilege to help you tick this experience off your list, and we hope to welcome you back for another spectacular safari in the future!

Aslan Adventure Tours - the Best of the Best!
What an absolutely AMAZING experience! We are so grateful to the knowledgeable and caring team at Aslan Adventure Tours led by our trip advisor Grace. Attention to detail, excellent communication, and flawless execution are the words that best describe the service we received. I can also highly recommend Sarova Mara Game Camp as you place to make home while on the Mara. Our guide Nick knew where to go and at what time of day to see an abundance of game. Do not hesitate to contact Aslan for your safari. You will be glad you did.
Response from the operator: Asante sana! It is truly rewarding to know that your time in the Mara was such an amazing experience. We take great pride in our attention to detail and are glad that our team's communication and planning helped make your journey so special. We are also pleased that Grace’s dedicated support and Nick’s expertise in the field came together to ensure your adventure was a success. Thank you again for trusting Aslan with your safari. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again

An unforgettable Safari.
Thanks to the high professionalism of Aslan, who fixed for direct knowledge the Lodges and the driver, Joseph, who accompanied us with a comfortable Toyota jeep with a sunroof, we not only visited the Masai Mara, full of animals migrated there from Tanzania, but also saw the lakes Nakuru and Neivasha and the magnificent Amboseli park with elephants and giraffes, cheetahs, crocodiles and hippos, and other countless animals, on hand! All with extreme ease, pleasantness and sympathy of our Joseph, who was also an expert guide in giving all the information about parks, animals and more generally about Kenya, even with a small tour of the capital Nairobi on our return from Safari.
Response from the operator: La ringraziamo sinceramente per aver condiviso la sua esperienza. È un piacere sapere che i nostri accordi e la dedizione del nostro team abbiano reso il suo viaggio così speciale. Siamo lieti che la competenza e la professionalità della nostra guida abbiano contribuito a rendere il soggiorno confortevole e informativo. La ringraziamo per la fiducia e speriamo di accoglierla di nuovo in futuro!

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.
How much does Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara cost?
+
Prices start at $395 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 Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara 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 Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara?
+
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 Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai Mara?
+
Around 3 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 Thrilling 3-Day Private Safari in Masai 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.
