Masai Mara Tours & Trips
Have you pictured spotting buffalos, lions and hippos in the African bush, feeling awe watching gorillas in their natural habitat, or camping wild and listening to chimps chatter? Ever dreamed of a sunrise balloon ride over Mara, hitting Nairobi markets and museums, and witnessing great wildebeest migration? The Masai Mara is something else, and it will never leave you.

My review will not give justice to the amazing job done by George at Perfect Africa Safari. From the time we contacted George he has made this experience nothing less than perfect. George at Perfect Africa Safaris was not just a tour guide he was a host, travel agent and has become a life long friend. He first connected us with previous visitors who went on the Safari to give us an idea and it truly made the difference. Due to COVID our flights were changed and he was very flexible to provide the best experience possible. He also stayed in touched leading up to our flights to Kenya. He scheduled all of our accommodations while in Africa as well as arranged our pick ups and drop offs to the airport. From the time we landed in Kenya George made us feel at home. George was very prompt and extremely knowledgeable. He gave us an amazing experience while educating us on the culture, the people and way of life. He said ask any question and he always had an answer. On the Safari tours we were able to see all of the Big 5 some animals were so close that at arms length it felt as though we could pet them. (not allowed to pet them because they are wild) One of the greatest highlights was visiting the Maasai Village and learning first hand from the villagers about the culture. I can write paragraphs about this life changing trip but I’ll some it up with book with George at Perfect African Safari this has been one of the best experiences of my life so far .

Incredible trip in many ways. Very safe traveling with knowledgeable guides. David Mutiso, Issa Kegode (cook), and Kago David (driver) took great care of us. They're professional at what they do, and they're awesome guys. I definitely recommend this way of travel, and it was my first time taking a guided tour. Hotel in Nairobi isn't a great value, but everything else is.

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.
