3 Days Maasai Mara Guided Safari from Nairobi

This was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our guide Robert picked us up from the hotel in Nairobi’s CBD and drove us that morning to the Mara. He was informative and had a great sense of humor. We had 2 game drives - a brief one the evening of the first day and a longer full day one the second day. We saw way more than we’d imagined - lion brothers sleeping and purring, an elephant scratching itself on a huge solitary tree, a hyena gnawing on a bone, impalas using their horns to fight each other and gain dominance, a cheetah finishing its dinner, crocodiles with their mouths open hoping for insects, hippos communicating each other with deep and loud growls. If you are lucky enough to get Robert as a driver you’ll also learn the differences between the animals, plenty of history about the park, and the catchphrases “in the box” and “the champion vehicle”. He was consistently prompt and always very safe. The Masai lodge we stayed was also excellent - a common dining area where we could relax before and after the drives and tents that truly had everything. At the end of the experience, we spent some time with the Masai village and got some priceless stories and history.
