TOUR OVERVIEW

Budget Tour Adventure to Kenya’s Most Popular Game Reserve – Maasai Mara National Reserve Embark on an unforgettable safari adventure deep into the heart of Africa’s iconic wilderness — the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, affectionately called “The Mara.” Journey across the golden savannahs, home to all the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) and an incredible variety of plains game and bird species. Watch as predators stir at dusk, hippos wallow lazily along the Mara River, and crocodiles lurk beneath the surface.

Your safari departs daily from Nairobi City with accommodation in comfortable budget tented camps such as Lenchada Tourist Camp.
