Private safari from Nairobi · up to 8 guests per vehicle

  • Duration3 days / 2 nights
  • DestinationsMasai Mara
  • Group sizeUp to 8 guests
  • Best timeJuly – October for the migration; year-round for big cats

Three days gives the Mara the time it deserves. With a full day on safari you can follow the action — lions on a kill, cheetah scanning from a termite mound, elephants at the river — and, in season, search for the wildebeest crossing the Mara River.

All safaris are private departures in a pop-up-roof safari vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide. Choose luxury, standard or mid-level lodges and camps — we'll match your comfort level and dates.

Trip highlights

  • Full day of game viewing in the Masai Mara
  • Best chance for lion, cheetah and leopard sightings
