Tour Features

Experience the magic of the Maasai Mara National Reserve without breaking the bank on this thrilling three-day budget safari from Nairobi. The Maasai Mara is Kenya's most celebrated wildlife destination — a vast, golden wilderness where lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, and buffalo roam freely across the open plains. Home to the world-famous Great Wildebeest Migration and consistently delivering some of Africa's finest Big Five game viewing, the Mara is a bucket-list destination for every wildlife lover. Staying at a comfortable budget camp inside or on the edge of the reserve, this itinerary delivers the full Maasai Mara experience at an affordable price — proof that an extraordinary African safari does not have to come with an extraordinary price tag.

In season (July–October), head to the Mara River to witness the legendary wildebeest river crossings — one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. Afternoon drive through the reserve's diverse habitats including the Mara Triangle and sand river circuits. Packed lunch in the bush. Return to camp for dinner. Overnight Maasai Mara camp.

  • Day 3 - Maasai Mara → Nairobi

    Final sunrise game drive before breakfast — predators are most active at dawn and the early morning golden light makes for outstanding photography. Return to camp for breakfast and check-out.

Getting There

Kenya's second international Airport is Moi International Airport (MBA), located 9km/6mi west of Mombasa, but aside from flights to Zanzibar, this is primarily used for domestic and charter flights.From Nairobi or Mombasa, one can fly or drive between reserves, or opt to do a bit of both.
