Great value and expereince

That this is a very nice pachage especialy for the price. The 'tents' for camping are actually hard structures on a soilid foundation, very nice and so nice to sleep in at night with the birdsongs.

Great safari with incredible value for money

This was a great package. My son and I had a wonderful time, saw everything we hoped for except leopards but that is a great incentive to do it again. I’ve been on many safaris but this was the most varied and budget friendly. Our guide, Jared, really took pride in his work and was very knowledgeable and friendly. We did the boat option on Lame Naivasha which was terrific. Also the tents were so nice with showers, bathroom in each so I thought much better than a lodge or hotel.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to review your safari experience. Leopards are usually quite elusive since they are solitary animals that live on trees and are predominantly nocturnal. No need to despair though, there is always another chance to track them down. Feel free to visit with us again for the opportunity to see even more wonders found in our parks. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your time with Jared. He indeed takes pride in his work, since he is very sociable and knowledgeable. Many thanks for choosing us to give you this safari experience. We are looking forward to be of even better service to you again soon. Cheers.

Enjoyable experience!

My family and I had an incredible experience on this 6 day safari. The team worked with us to tailor the itinerary and accommodation to our liking. Our guide Jared was excellent! We were very happy with his knowledge of the parks and he was very accommodating and friendly.

Response from the operator: This safari was successful by large because of your commendable spirit of adventure. You gave our team a really easy time to assist you in tailoring a great 6-day family adventure safari. Many thanks for your patience and attitude during the whole process. Feel very free to visit with us again. Cheers. Bryan.

Absolutely incredible!

Our guide was Jared. He was excellent. We saw so much wildlife it was crazy. We always felt safe which was important to us. We had 4 sightings of lions alone. We saw a leopard. Endless elephants, giraffes, buffalo, ostriches, wildebeests, etc. best if all we witnessed the wildebeest migration oner the Mora river....unbelievable. It seems Jared always knew where to be or where to get to be to have an incredible safari experience.

Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and glad that Jared did a good job. We thank you and appreciate you so very much for choosing a service with us and welcome you next time./ Many thanks

Great family trip

The standard of food and accommodation were really high at the Sopa lodges. Our tour guide and driver was brilliant and we saw the "big five" thanks to his persistence and patience. My kids loved him and he was very kind and funny with him. All in all - a great experience and everything was actually better than expected.

Response from the operator: It’s wonderful to hear that your family had such a memorable safari experience! We’re especially glad that the Sopa lodges exceeded your expectations and that you were able to see the Big Five. It sounds like the safari was a real hit with the whole family, especially the kids! We’re delighted that the experience turned out even better than expected, and we hope to welcome you and your family back to Kenya for another adventure in the future.

Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari: questions travelers ask

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

How does Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari compare to similar tours in Nairobi?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Nairobi, with an Outty Ranking of 76. At $1,265 it sits above the typical similar option ($58), 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 Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari best for?

+

It suits travelers who want a full-day outing and anyone who wants flexible plans best, based on its 144-hour length, minimum age of 3 and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

Is Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at $1,265, above the $58 typical for similar experiences in Nairobi.

How much does Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari cost?

+

Prices start at $1,265 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 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari take?

+

Plan for about 144 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 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari?

+

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 Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 144-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari?

+

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 144-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Thrilling 6 Days Amboseli-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara Budget Safari 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.
