Masai Mara safari packages from Nairobi: 3 and 4 day group joining, camping and Land Cruiser safaris with daily departures. Prices from USD 308 per person.
Masai Mara safari packages from Nairobi run 2 to 4 days by road, or 2 to 3 days fly-in. A 3-day group joining safari is the most popular option. Budget packages share a pop-up roof vehicle and stay in tented camps, and the Great Migration river crossings happen from July to October.
The 3-day Masai Mara group joining safari is the most affordable way to see the Mara: you share a pop-up roof vehicle with up to 6 other travellers, leave Nairobi daily, stay two nights in a budget tented camp and get a full day of game driving in search of the Big Five.
The 3-day Masai Mara camping safari by 4x4 Land Cruiser includes two Masai Mara park entries, two nights in an en-suite tented camp, all meals and game drives.
The 4-day Masai Mara budget safari gives you two full days in the reserve instead of one, which doubles your chances of seeing leopard, cheetah and a Mara River crossing in migration season.
A Masai Mara hot air balloon safari is a 1-hour sunrise flight over the reserve, followed by a bush breakfast with sparkling wine and a game drive back to camp.

Three days and two nights is the minimum by road, because the drive from Nairobi takes 5–6 hours each way. Four days gives you two full days in the reserve and better odds of river crossings and leopard sightings.
A group joining safari by road, sharing a vehicle with other travellers and staying in a budget tented camp outside the reserve gate. Travelling January–June also halves the non-resident park fee.
