4 Days Masai Mara Lake Nakuru Jeep Safari

Posted By : Culture603854
The 6-day safari with James in the Masai Mara, Nakuru national park and lake Naivasha were incredible! James is an experienced guide and really passionate about his job. We were travelling with two young children (4 and 6) and my 70-year old mother in law and we all had a fantastic time. Our boys did not want to leave James :)
We obviously got to see the big 5 and much more, had incredible pick-nicks in the Mara and just enjoyed spending time with James.
I would recommend him to anyone interested in a safari in Kenya! James is your guy!

I was on a 4 day/3 night trip to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru at the end of May. The time was great because we were able to see all big 5 animals and the parks weren’t overcrowded. Boniface, our guide was very knowledgeable and knew where to spot the animals.
The major downside of the trip and which unfortunately put a big dent in the experience was the organization. First off we were picked up 45min later than told and no one was really able to be reached under the phone number provided for the most part. Further, the van broke down twice and we had to switch to other vans to continue game drives.
Also don’t be fooled by the itinerary on TripAdvisor as they don’t represent the amount of time you’re on game drives. I specifically chose this company for the time of game drive which didn’t end up being the case. Especially, on our 3rd day we didn’t do any drives because a couple in the group had to go back to Nairobi. Overall, on day 1 we did about 2h of game drive, day 2 a full day of drive (both in Masai Mara), none on day 3 and 4h of game drive at Lake Nakuru on day 4.
Since we were on different vans throughout the trip we came to find out that there are many companies that offer the same/similar trip for the same price or even cheaper. I recommend doing some research.

Thanks a lot to all the team, they are very reactive, answer all my questions before the trip and upon our arrival in the airport they were so professional.

The trip went really well, our guide/driver Charles in Masai was an amazing one !
Isaac was also a great one in Nakuru lake.

Do not hesitate to book your trip with them, they are really reliable.

Ahsante sana

I ve had such a great time. Ben and Tito are amazing so is Celestine. Ben had a great knowledge of animals and he made sure we ve seen big five. Ivve even seen leopard on the tree. Tito is a great chef and lodges we were staying were great. In lake Nakuru we've stayed in cosy cottage surrounded by buffalo's and rhino. Seen 3 lions there. Masai mara and visit to Maasai village were in redible. They are good company, safe and in the budget. Go for it. Celestine became my friend, she even took me to the barber and was really caring shoeing me around. My experiance was amazing. I will remember my forthith birthday in Kenya whole my life. I will be back Nelson, thank u for a great trip. All who read book through them, seriously.

The tour was stunning!! I loved it!! Francis was a good driver and guide!

Some experience comments for those who don't know what to expect, BUT consider it is valid for ALL THE TOURS you can find at this range of price.
- you are joining a group in a van, which might wait in the first morning for all the participants so keep patience! All participants can be from different agencies. (totally random)
- the journey is not direct at all : first stop to watch the crazy point of view. Then 1h stop at a touristic lunch spot, then you arrive quite late but still early for a game. You can think to leave ealier from Nairobi and arrive earlier in Masai Mara (it is possible, really), but the organisation have to make you stop at the lunch spot. Go for an upgrade safari if you want something more efficient.
- hotels will make their possible to save a room by make you share with other travellers, epecially if you are alone. Keep strong or call the agency. One waiter also ask me 5$ for a beer...mouahaha!!
- The driver proposed us to make a longer 2nd day and not go to Masai Mara on the 3rd day. We think he proposed that to save (and keep for him) the second 24hrs entrance fee for the park (80$/pax) but not sure...
- the 3rd day was very poor... just driving, and this bloody stop in the lunch spot to exchange people in the van. This system is very flexible, which is good as the car is all the time full, but quite annoying to wait and extend the journey and not go straight, but again you have what you pay for.
- Naivasha is very different, and very peaceful, I loved it! definitely too short. At 10am we left the park and drove back to Narobi, with a stop in the lunch spot....

Generally, the parks and the animal are very crazy and amazing!! Hotel are correct and food is good! Organisation could be different, but you might pay a little bit more!
Even if, once the driver takes you, you belong to him, Celestine is very responsive on Whatsapp. Do not hesitate to tell her if you have any issues.

Nelson had the itinerary planned perfectly. The trip was absolutely amazing and unexpected. Request Ben as a driver, he is awesome. He knows the land well and knows everybody too. He has such a personality. You must request him.

We stayed in nice clean hotel After40 that Nelson arranged for us when we arrived, the next day we left for Masai Mara, later Lake Nakuru, lake Naivasha and Karen Blixen museum. Drivers are all very kind and correct, always in time, and making a constant effort to find the animals in the parc. We have enjoyed the beauty of the park as well as the animals. Accommodations were neat and everything was well arranged. Nelson is very client friendly, tries to cater for your wishes.
