Discover the legendary Masai Mara National Reserve on an accessible 3-day overland safari designed for budget-conscious travellers seeking authentic wildlife experiences. Leaving Nairobi, your journey descends the scenic Rift Valley escarpment with a panoramic viewpoint stop before heading across rural plains to the Masai Mara. Arrive at your riverside lodge in time for lunch before heading out on an afternoon game drive. Scan the acacia savannah for prides of lions, grazing buffaloes, towers of giraffes, and warthogs. Spend the following day immersed in the reserve’s diverse ecosystems, tracking predators, searching for leopards in riverine woodlands, and witnessing seasonal wildebeest crossings. In the evenings, unwind by the river, listen to the calls of hippos, and enjoy full-board dining. With dedicated 4x4 transport and local driver-guides, this package combines maximum wilderness time with exceptional value.

Tipping Guidelines

Tipping is a customary gesture of appreciation for exceptional service throughout your journey. We recommend budgeting US $15.00 per person, per day for your main safari driver-guide. For lodge and camp staff, general tip boxes are available at reception, where US $5.00 to $10.00 is standard to cover back-of-house teams. For specialized local guides or boat captains, US $5.00 to $10.00 per activity is appreciated. Tips are best paid in cash using crisp US Dollar bills or local

Child Policy

Children aged 2 to 11 sharing a room with two full-paying adults receive discounted rates, typically 50% to 75% of the adult price depending on the property. Children occupying their own room are charged standard adult or single rates. Minimum age limits apply for specific activities, including gorilla trekking (minimum 15 years) and walking safaris (typically minimum 12 to 16 years). Children under 2 years generally travel free, though nominal transport or sanctuary fees may apply.

Single Supplement Policy

Safari package pricing is based on double occupancy. Single travelers occupying a private room or tent incur a single supplement charge to cover fixed accommodation and transfer costs. During low or green seasons, select partner lodges may waive this fee. For group bookings requesting individual rooms, the supplement applies strictly to those single units. Exact rates vary by property and season, typically ranging between 20% and 50% above the per-person sharing rate.

Terms & Booking Conditions

Availability: Quotations remain subject to hotel, lodge, and flight availability at confirmation unless "Booking Confirmed" appears in the programme header. Check-In / Check-Out: Standard check-in is from 14:00; check-out is before 11:00. Game Reserves: Fully inclusive packages cover check-in before lunch, check-out after breakfast, three daily meals (Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast), and two game activities per day.
