Maasai Mara Safari

Our sample Maasai Mara itineraries are just the beginning of your journey. Use them as inspiration, knowing every trip is tailored exclusively for you. With countless options available, we’ll craft an adventure as unique as you are.

A safari in Maasai Mara is probably the greatest wildlife adventure experience on earth, and this is certainly no overstatement. The reserve hosts several animals, some of the most diverse collections, including the ‘Big Five’ and the ‘Big Nine’, most of which can be spotted while on safari in Maasai Mara. Though the wildebeest migration season, which runs from July to September, is the year’s highlight, a Masai Mara safari is rewarding all year round. Below are a few of our Masai Mara tour packages, ranging from budget road tours to luxury Fly-In Safaris:

Fly ~ In Safari Tours

Fly~in or “Flying Safaris” save the hassle of getting to Masai Mara in an hour from Nairobi and are the norm for certain Safari Camps in Maasai Mara which are more remote or those offering only packaged stays with safari drives. Flights depart Wilson airport in Nairobi twice a day and on arrival at the airstrip in the Mara, guests are met and transferred to their respective Camp in 4 x 4 Safari Tour Vehicles that are provided by the property.

Road Safari Tours

The most common way of getting to Masai Mara is by road, in a 4×4 Landcruiser, or the less expensive Safari Minibus (Tour Van). Depending on which camp or lodge has been featured in your itinerary, most drive to Masai Mara from Nairobi takes approximately 5 to 6 hours. The benefit of a road safari is the generally lower tour cost as well as having the privilege to experience more of the real Kenyan countryside. The downside is that stretches of road en- route to Mara are of below average condition.

You can't go wrong with Kenya Wild Parks The internet gods smiled on us when we happened to stumble across Kenya Wild Parks. Understandably we were a bit skeptical to book through a random company we found on the internet, but we got so lucky! Erick was so patient in answering all our queries to put our minds at ease, his communication from the start was exceptional and he organized an unforgettable trip. We also got lucky with our guide Kevin. We couldn't have asked for a more passionate and knowledgeable guide. He had a big, positive impact on the overall value of our safari. I can't recommend Kenya Wild Parks enough - book the trip!

Will recommend Kenya Wild Parks This was by far the best travel experience! Thank you, Kenya Wild Parks and Erick, for curating such a fantastic itinerary for us. Prior to our first payment, we received a very detailed email outlining what to expect on our safari days, as well as the necessities and recommendations for our overall trip to Kenya. Erick was always very responsive and answered any questions we had in a timely manner. He also reached out before, during, and after our trip, which made the entire experience feel even more personal. Our guides, Fred and Peter, were absolutely fantastic. Not only did we see 4 of the Big Five on our very first day, but we also learned so much about the animals and the surrounding environment. Their knowledge and passion truly made the experience unforgettable!

30th Anniversary Trip My wife and I are travel agents ourselves, but for this trip we intentionally chose to work with a local agency to ensure everything went smoothly—and it was one of the best decisions we made. Eric met us on our first day and took the time to walk us through the itinerary, explain the schedule, and point out where we had flexibility. From the beginning, he was incredibly responsive and continued checking in with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well. His communication, expertise, and personal attention really stood out. Now for the fun part—we saw the Big Five and were absolutely blown away by the accommodations, service, and experiences at every stop along the way. Everything was exceptionally well organized without ever feeling rushed. One experience I highly recommend adding to your itinerary is the hot-air balloon ride with the champagne breakfast. It was truly one of a kind and became one of the highlights of our trip. I used to think my wife’s spirit animal was a lion, but after this trip, I’m convinced it’s now an elephant. They completely stole her heart\. 🐘 Our driver/guide/spotter, Jeremy, was also excellent. His knowledge, patience, and ability to spot wildlife made our safari experience even more special. We enjoyed having him so much that we hope to have him guide our group when we return next year. We are already planning to use Kenya Wild Parks again and trust them with a group trip we are putting together for 2027. As travel professionals, we know how important communication, local expertise, organization, and friendly service are—and Kenya Wild Parks delivered on all of them. If you’re looking for a local safari company that combines great communication, expertise, flexibility, and genuinely friendly service, we highly recommend Eric and the team at Kenya Wild Parks. We would absolutely use them again.

Kenya Wild Parks is incredible, highly recommend My group and I are so happy that we booked with Kenya Wild Parks. Erick was extremely helpful in the planning process, not only for our safari but in answering questions we had about Kenya/Nairobi trips in general. Our guides, Fred and Kim, were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Kenya Wild Parks goes the extra mile to ensure that your trip goes smoothly, and while specific animal spotting can’t be guaranteed they do their best to give you a good chance at it. We saw 4 of the big 5 in a single day!

Memories for a Lifetime in Kenya! From the start, our safari planner Erick was super responsive. He answered every single question quickly and put together an incredible itinerary for us. The accommodations were top-notch, I was really impressed by the service, food, and overall comfort at every lodge. Our safari guide Julius was professional, super friendly, and took great care of us throughout the journey. The timing felt spot on because traveling between the parks was smooth, giving us plenty of full days to explore each location. The memories my wife and I made on this trip will genuinely stay with us forever. I’d definitely book through Kenya Wild Parks again and highly recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

A truly unforgettable experience visiting beautiful Kenya! We had such a wonderful trip to Kenya and honestly enjoyed every moment of it. The entire safari experience was amazing. The sights, sounds and even the smells of the African wilderness made it really special. I am truly grateful to Erick and his team for putting together such a wonderful itinerary for us. Everything went so smoothly and we got to experience so much during our time there. Our guide, Julius, was really sweet and patient with us too. He answered all our questions throughout the trip and we had such a great time chatting with him and exchanging stories and experiences from our different countries. He definitely made the journey even more enjoyable.

Best Safari Experience of Our Lives!* *5/5 stars — Unforgettable Safari with Kenya Wild Parks!* We just got back from our trip to *Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru* with Kenya Wild Parks and it was absolutely incredible. From the first message to the last day, everything was flawless. The planning was smooth, communication was clear, and there were zero hidden costs or surprises. Our guide made the whole experience — so knowledgeable about the animals, great at finding the best spots, and made sure we were comfortable and safe the entire time. The itinerary was perfect. In Masai Mara we got up close to the wildlife and saw so much more than we expected. Lake Nakuru was stunning — the views, the flamingos, everything just took our breath away. Kenya Wild Parks took care of all the logistics so we could actually relax and enjoy it instead of worrying. Honestly, we loved _everything_ about this trip. The organization, the destinations, the care from the team. If you want a tour operator that truly cares and delivers a stress-free, once-in-a-lifetime experience, book with Kenya Wild Parks. We can’t wait to travel with them again!

First-class travel company. When planning our safari, my friends and I contacted three Kenya-based tour operators and gave them a rough idea of what we wanted for our trip. From the beginning, Erick from Kenya Wild Parks stood out clearly from the others. His response was by far the most detailed and helpful, so the decision to travel with Kenya Wild Parks was very easy for us. He took the time to help us find the right accommodation for the authentic safari experience we had envisioned. The itinerary he proposed was also exactly what we were looking for – the right places, exciting activities, enough time to really enjoy each destination, and all within our budget. Of course, we had very, very many questions during the planning process. Erick always answered them quickly, in detail, and with a lot of patience – even though I am sure there were moments when he probably wished I would finally stop asking questions! He was not just our travel planner, but truly felt like a teammate throughout the entire planning process. Our ten-day safari took us to three different destinations and three beautiful bush camps. Kenya Wild Parks organized everything perfectly and coordinated it all. From start to finish, everything just worked wonderfully. We had a truly great trip to Africa and will remember this experience for a long time. A heartfelt thank you to Erick and the entire team at Kenya Wild Parks, who made our safari something very special. It was truly a trip of a lifetime!

Wonderful first trip to Kenya. We had an incredible honeymoon and first trip to Africa, and we’re so grateful to Erick and the Kenya Wild Parks team for making the whole experience so seamless. From start to finish we felt well informed, comfortable, and completely taken care of, and our expectations were exceeded throughout. We especially loved our stay at Zebra Plains (Masai Mara) and Praro Camp (Amboseli). We’re already talking about our next safari and will absolutely use Kenya Wild Parks again when we return.

Couple Safari. Our experience was so amazing, we had good planning for the safari with the help of Eric and Collins. We really appreciate the efforts of Collins helping us out with our tickets. Not forgetting to mention our guide, Simon, he is really a good guy and he did his work with passion, and perfection. They made everything so wonderful and spectacular for us. We really appreciated it.
