Package Overview
5 Day Masai Mara Safari | Price, Itinerary & Unmatched Adventure
Fuel your wild side with the 5 Day Masai Mara Safari — a bucket-list journey into Kenya’s most iconic game reserve. From golden savannahs and roaring lions to the thundering herds of the Great Migration (seasonal), this tour delivers an unforgettable wildlife spectacle at the best price for value.
Whether you’re looking for a budget safari, mid-range comfort, or luxury bush lodges, this safari lets you experience the Masai Mara in its rawest, most exhilarating form.
Day 1: Nairobi – Masai Mara National Reserve
Leave Nairobi early and drive via the Great Rift Valley viewpoint toward the Masai Mara. Arrive in time for lunch and your first afternoon game drive in this world-famous reserve.
For more trip options, explore our Kenya Safari Holiday Packages.
Day 2: Full Day in the Mara – Big Five Tracking
Today is all about wildlife. Embark on a full-day safari with picnic lunch inside the reserve. Expect close encounters with lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, rhinos, and more. If you’re lucky, you’ll witness a kill or dramatic predator-prey chase.
If you’re after savings without sacrificing experience, check our Kenya Budget Safaris.
Day 3: Sunrise Safari & Optional Balloon Ride
Catch the sunrise on an early game drive — the Mara wakes up in gold. Optionally, float above the savannah in a hot air balloon safari (extra cost), then toast with a champagne breakfast in the bush.
Want to skip the drive from Nairobi? See our fast-track Kenya Air Safaris for fly-in packages to the Mara.
Day 4: Visit to Maasai Village & Leisure Drive
Explore culture with a visit to a traditional Maasai village — an authentic, respectful encounter that supports local communities. In the afternoon, enjoy a slower-paced game drive or relax at your lodge/camp.
Prefer a rugged feel? Our Kenya Camping Safaris offer real bush immersion under the stars.
Day 5: Final Morning Drive – Return to Nairobi
Take one last morning drive through the reserve before heading back to Nairobi, arriving late afternoon. Optional stopovers at viewpoints or craft markets on the way.
Going coastal next? You can combine this safari with Safaris from Watamu or a conservation stop at Haller Park in Mombasa.
