This tour was brilliant. Our guide, Peter, was incredible at finding the animals and we saw everything we wanted to up close and personal. The communication was clear, the accommodation was perfect for the budget price and we would 100% recommend it!

gorillas, chimps, nasai Mari game reserve unforgettable experiences. inc. permits cost 1500 USD , so this excellent value. however there is a lot of travelling on the bus as they do a loop.. I would say consider flying into Rwanda go into Uganda to see gorill (800 in Uganda vrs 1509 usd in rwanda) then join a tour that includes 2 days in masai mari.

Best time to visit Masai Mara National Reserve
- Winter 2025 / 2026
Winter in the Masai Mara offers a more intimate safari experience when the plains are less crowded. The 3-day tours hit all the right spots - heading out at dawn when predators are most active, full days exploring the western escarpment and also relaxed picnic lunches by the Mara River where hippos and crocodiles gather. You can choose between comfortable lodges like Keekorok or well-equipped tented camps that put you right in the action. The game drives deliver consistently, with our guides regularly tracking down lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo and also rhinos.

- Spring 2026
Spring brings excellent value with tours that blend wildlife and cultural experiences nicely. The 4-day itineraries make good use of those clear mornings - you'll explore in custom 4x4s and spend time in authentic Maasai villages connecting with local communities. Some guests opt for touches of luxury at places like Saruni Mara, where giraffes wander past private balconies. Others prefer the intimacy of smaller camps, with dinners under the stars and early game drives to catch big cats on the hunt. The spring light creates perfect conditions for photography, especially around the hippo pools and river crossings.

- Summer 2026
Summer is migration season, and our tours are set up to give you the best chance of catching this natural spectacle. The multi-destination routes let you pair the migration with gorilla tracking in Uganda or chimpanzee visits in Kalinzu Forest. Longer tours take in Lake Nakuru's rhinos, Queen Elizabeth National Park's wildlife and also cultural visits to places like Tepesua Village. You can mix camping in premium locations with stays at riverside lodges, plus options for dawn balloon flights over the plains. The cultural side runs deep - from cooking in local villages to evening chats with conservation experts.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall tours balance wildlife viewing with cultural immersion, offering various accommodation styles and trip lengths. Multi-country options combine Masai Mara's big cats with Uganda's gorillas and also Rwanda's cultural sites. The shorter 3-4 day tours focus on quality game viewing with guides who know just where to find those elusive leopards and black rhinos. The smaller group sizes this season are perfect, whether you're at luxury lodges with infinity pools overlooking waterholes or in well-appointed tented camps that blend comfort with authentic safari atmosphere. Many tours include genuine exchanges with Maasai communities and visits to local conservation projects. Perfect Africa Safari is currently the top choice for Masai Mara tours according to our travelers, with guide George consistently going above and beyond to personalize each trip. His local knowledge helps spot the Big 5, and he takes time to explain wildlife behavior, tracking techniques and also ecosystem dynamics. The company includes meaningful visits to Maasai villages where guests can learn about traditions, daily life and cultural practices without feeling rushed or touristy. For travelers on a tighter schedule or budget, the 3 Days, 2 Nights group safari from Nairobi offers a solid introduction to the Mara. Guide Sammy works hard to create good experiences despite the more basic setup. The accommodations and meals vary in quality, but the wildlife viewing opportunities remain strong. Our travelers note that while this shorter option doesn't allow for deeper cultural immersion or extended game drives, it still provides real safari experiences with skilled spotting of animals in their natural habitat. The key difference comes down to the level of personalization and time available. Perfect Africa Safari builds in flexibility to linger at special sightings, adjust schedules based on wildlife patterns and also explore cultural aspects in depth. The shorter group option follows a more fixed timeline but still delivers core safari elements at a lower price point.
