6 Day Masai Mara Budget Safari – An Affordable Adventure

Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you'll be met and transferred to Eka Hotel Nairobi, a modern hotel conveniently located between Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson airports. Enjoy comfortable amenities, a pool, and easy access to Nairobi's top attractions, including Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, and the Karen Blixen Museum.

If you'd like to spend more than one night in Nairobi to explore its vibrant culture and wildlife experiences, we can arrange that. Visit the David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage to see rescued baby elephants, explore the bustling Maasai Market for authentic crafts, or take a guided tour of the Bomas of Kenya to experience traditional Kenyan music and dance performances.

After breakfast, we drive to Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya's most famous wildlife destination. Our budget-friendly Masai Mara safari base is Basecamp Masai Mara, an eco-friendly tented camp along the Talek River. After check-in and lunch, we embark on our first afternoon game drive.

Expect to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, and top predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs. As the sun sets, we return to camp for dinner under the African sky.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa's best year-round safari destinations. While it is most famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration (July to September), when massive herds cross from Tanzania into Kenya, the Mara offers exceptional game viewing throughout the year.

• Abundant resident wildlife: Even outside of migration season, you'll see plenty of game, including the Big Five, resident herds of wildebeest and zebra, giraffe, cheetah, and hyenas.
• Dramatic seasons: The long rains (March–May) and the short rains (October–December) bring lush landscapes, stunning cloud formations, and dramatic thunderstorms, making for spectacular photography opportunities.
• Prime predator territory: The Mara's open plains provide excellent opportunities to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs in action, with frequent predator-prey interactions.

No matter when you visit, a Masai Mara safari offers unforgettable wildlife encounters and breathtaking landscapes.

After a final morning game drive, we drive back to Nairobi, arriving in the afternoon. If your flight departs before 21h00, we can arrange an extra night in Nairobi.
