Masai Mara Safari Reviews
- 3 Days, 2 Nights Masai Mara Group Joining Safari from Nairobi
This was a basic safari experience but the effort our guide Sammy put in to make it the best possible adventure he could for our small group made the trip very worthwhile. The visit to the Masai village was a highlight which I am pleased I took the chance to see. Our accommodation was not quite at the standard I had hoped for and the food on offer was sometimes inedible, but those are minor issues because the overall experience was very memorable.
- 3 Days Kenya Budget 4X4 Jeep Safari to Masai Mara
It was an all rounded experience
- 4 Day Great Wildebeest Migration Safari in Maasai Mara- Budget
The trip was fantastic. Lots of animals and vast Savana country. Our guide Simon was exceptional. He has a great knowledge of the park and the animals, is a very good driver and very friendly and humble. We stayed at Rhino Tourist camp which has everything you need.
