Breakfast and return drive to Nairobi.
July–October for the migration; November–June for green season and lower fees.

Yes, mostly in the rainy season. A 4x4 Land Cruiser copes with black-cotton mud and river tracks, so your guide can follow sightings that a 2-wheel-drive van has to skip.

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 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.
The 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru classic safari combines Kenya's most famous reserve for big cats and the migration with Lake Nakuru's rhino sanctuary, so you can complete the Big Five in a short trip from Nairobi.
