- 3 Days Kenya Budget 4X4 Jeep Safari to Masai Mara
It's a really good tour, for just three days you get to experience the best of Masai Mara. It's affordable and can be done at any day of the year.
- 3 Days, 2 Nights Masai Mara Group Joining Safari from Nairobi
Sammi the driver and guide shepherded us superbly. He was caring, informative and was earnest in locating best views of the animals. Meals and accommodation were spot on although the picnic ended a little dry after being in the van for 24 hours.
Great experience in Masai Mara! Thanks to our guide we succeed to meet all the animals from The Big Five! Accommodation at Keekorok Lodge was nice with cosy room and good friendly service.
