3 Days Masai Mara Safari From Nairobi

I cannot recommend Simba Park Safaris enough! The entire experience was beyond anything I could have imagined. The staff were incredible, so knowledgeable and going above and beyond for everything. Pick ups and drop offs were seamless, and our group of 8 learned so much while having the very best time. Again I cannot recommend them enough and I’m so grateful for my favourite trip ever!

I could not recommend a Maasai mara safari trip with Simba Paka Safaris more highly. I have been on two safaris over the last 3 years with Paul and his team and they were both incredible experiences. We travelled from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara with large groups on both trips and everyone was looked after and catered to excellently. Whilst on safari the drivers worked their hardest to ensure that we saw everything we could and had the best views and most positive experience possible. It was so lovely to have the same drivers which is also a testament to the company itself. On one of the tours when a member of our group was having some difficulties Paul could don't have done more to assist us in every way he could to get medical treatment and make the experience as seamless and easy as possible, he really went above and beyond and that really made such a big impact on the whole experience. There is no-one else I would choose to go back to the Maasai Mara with, always an incredible experience and I couldn't recommend highly enough.

To book a tour was super easy. All questions answered super fast and almost any time. Safari was exceptionally nice- driver skilled and attentive to details, had a sixt sense to spot animals, patient and informative. Village was exceptionally nice, staff friendly, food was amazing, I did enjoyed it wery much. All the boxes were checked for this adventure. Those three days is the best short escape from the city to refresh and to feel the wild Africa. Recommend.

Best ever experience with private driver. We saw it ALL.. Paul the owner was the best and consciousness making sure we were always on time where we were heading. Had the best service and food. Could not have dreamed of the best ever safari and beach stay for our anniversary! A must to go with Simba Pakka Safari

Our guide Moses was very experienced, clearly the king Maasai Mara! He made sure we always had VIP seats in the park. We were very impressed, being able seeing the all the animals so close. Everything went very smooth with them, being reliable, communicative and well organized. That not always being the case in Kenya in our experience. Also great value for money! We had a great safari, we highly recommend! Thank you!

We had a great trip at Masai Mara , It was our first safari and we had an amazing experience with simba Paka safaris as it was well planned and we had a knowledgeable driver cum forest guide mr David . He has a lot of experience of taking tourists on an incredible journey through the Masai park. Mr David guided us excellently , showing us all the landmarks Enroute . He is excellent in spotting the animals at the Masai Mara while driving the safari vehicle. We could see the cheetah at close range apart from other animals because of his excellent skills . We truly appreciate Mr David . He is very friendly and made our trip perfect If we ever return to Nairobi Mr David would be our choice for the trip If you want the absolute best experience, book with Simba Paka Safaris and I am sure you will not regret it!

Our Masai Mara trip was perfect from the start! Communication and booking were quick, easy and very reliable. Compared to other providers, it was by far the best offer! The trip itself was simply perfect in every way, and we were well looked after during the car journeys. At the lodge where we stayed, all the staff were more than attentive, courteous and friendly. It had been recently renovated and everything was clean and in working order. Our driver gave us lots of interesting information about Kenya and the Masai Mara. This was the second time I had travelled to the Masai Mara with Simba Paka and I will definitely book with them again.

Paul was very helpful and organized a perfect safari for us. Our guide, Felix, was very professional and respectful and gave us the possibility to see 4 of the big five.

We had an amazing time on our safari with our guide Wyckliffe. He made the trip so enjoyable for us and has a vault of knowledge about Masai Mara, the animals and Kenya in general. The safari drives were amazing and we got to see loads of animals. The sunrise hot air balloon experience was 10/10, definitely worth the early start. One of the most beautiful places in the world and we are so grateful we had a great guide and lovely group to experience it with. Cáit & Jenny

Amazing trip and a very clean 4x4 with a very informative and sweet tour guide. We chose the mid-luxury package and stayed at Enkorok Mara camp it was very spacious and great

We went on a 4 day/3 night safari, 2 nights in Maasai Mara in Enkorok Mara Camp and 1 night in Lake Nakuru in Lake Nakuru Lodge. The safari was amazing, accommodation was perfect for what we needed, our guide Charles was lovely and overall what you get in the package is very good value! Almost everything was included bar a couple of add on that you can choose to partake or not in eg Boat tour in Lake Naivasha. Overall, Would recommend!

We did a 3 day 2 night safari in Masai Mara with Simba Paka Safaris. It was absolutely amazing. We stayed at the Ashnil Mara Camp which was a beautiful camp. Paul was very helpful prior to arriving in Kenya with great communication. Francis was our tour guide and he was brilliant. We saw so much! Also great value for money. I priced the same tour with the same accommodation with other companies and Simba Paka was by far the best value. Would high recommend 😊

I booked this group safari as I had a limited budget and limited time. Company did not disappoint, excellent interaction before the trip and easy payment methods. On arrival pick up from hotel and transfer to Massai Mara and back went smoothly and accomodation was very comfortable. Safari itself was amazing - guides went all out to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible. This is a great company if looking for an affordable option to go on safari

Excelent safari with these guys! Drivers with great experience who love their jobs, very friendly and they answered gladly to all our questions. We saw so many animals that hard to remember all of them. For example highlights in our safary where male and female lions with cups, chirafes, cheetah, leopard with a cup, leopard on a tree, elephants, hippos, zebras, buffalos, hyenas etc.

Amazing! Highly recommended from beginning to end. Was picked up from the airport, did the excursion and dropped off at a hotel in Nairobi. Francis, the guide was great! Got us safely to the camp, took us around the Masai Mara and back. Stayed at the Enchoro camp. The camp was nice and the staff was excellent. The food was just ok but we were there for the safari. Visited a Masai village as well which was worth the experience. I would choose Simba Packa again!

One of the best experiences of my life, if you like nature, what you experience here is priceless. SIMBA PAKA SAFARIS, was our best choice, PAUL our organizer took care of everything from start to finish. He supported us with hotel suggestions in Nairobi, and with a specific situation due to a flight change, he contacted the hotel to try to help us despite not having booked that stay with him, he sent us a trusted private transportation to the airport at midnight and he was aware of our arrival, we were 2 girls alone and he was responsible for always making us feel safe. The next morning, he was on time to start our tour, we did Masai Mara, Naivasha and Nukuru. Everything was wonderful. We saw the 5 big ones, the driver Charles was very attentive but more driver than guide, however he searched until late so that we could see 4 of the 5 big ones, and then Dixon, very pro, was in charge of finding the 5th to return happily... Paul also on 2 occasions when we forgot things in the car he was pending and we recovered them and the best of all is that unlike other agencies that necessarily asked for a lot of money in advance, he was very flexible and accommodated everything to give us confidence... In summary THANK YOU PAUL and team because our trip was wonderful thanks to you.

Fantastic experience. Paul and Raheem were so good to us. Would love to do it all over again. Could not recommend these guys enough. 10/10

The most amazing thing, i have done in my life so far. From start to finish Paul & Raheem were great. Full of information. Raheem was an expert driver considering the terrain. I highly recommend using Simba Parka Safari for your trip. You won't be disappointed.

A lovely time touring the Masai Mara with Simba Paka. Our guide Kush was knowledgeable and managed to find 6 of the super 7! The only thing I would change is more communication around the travel to/from Nairobi so we could better anticipate snack & lunch breaks for the kids. Thanks Paul - it was an awesome trip!

Paul the operator of the trip gave us a good trip at Masai Mara with Moses driving the vehicle. Reliable on time and accommodation, knowledge and vehicle handling capability of Moses is superb

Drivers/ guides are professional. They are so good to search the hiding animals. We had a great time in Masai Mara. Highly recommend :)

Professional team. Everybody is nice. We found all the animal. Good place to be with friends and family, I will come again.

The perfect solution for you who want it easy to book and communicate, "door to door" solution. We were extremely impressed about the superb service, friendliness, and above all professional grip our Guide Paul had over the 3 days. Superb driving , great knowledge of the environment and wildlife and a good sense of humour. Thank You for offering us this unforgetable experinece in such a eloquent way. We can warmly recommend Simba Paka Safaris!

Paul has a great team and the Safari was perfect, safe and respectful with the nature and the animals, I hope to be able to go again soon and repeat this such wonderful experience

The tour was amazing! Richard, our guide, was great. easy going and knowledgeable. The tour company was super accommodating also! The national park is beautiful and we saw a lot, Richard really took his time to show us a wide variety of animals!

The safari was excellent - we saw so much! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We booked the most basic accommodation and on reflection wish we had upgraded. Whilst the camp was clean, with friendly staff and our tent was comfortable it wasn’t very scenic, there was no wifi and limited food options. The safari itself was only 1.5 days. On the 3rd day you have an option of going to a Masai Village or a balloon trip for an extra cost.

We went on a 3 day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi with Pullman's Tours and Safaris en route to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Our driver / guide Bryson was with us all the time from picking us up at the hotel in Nairobi to delivering us (and seeing us on the plane) at the airship in the Masai Mara. Bryson was a very safe driver, friendly, spoke English very well and was extremely helpful and considerate particularly when driving slowly over the dirt bumpy roads in the Masai Mara. We had a great time and Bryson knew where to go to see the wildlife close up. I would recommend that you have a vehicle of your own (though more expensive) as you get a better experience without having to share

Pro - The driver I had was amazing. He knows all the spots and makes the journey smooth - Their written communication via email is good. They always reply within a few hours - You can basically join any time, no need to reserve a week in advance Con - I’ve found the in-person communication to be not sincere, as I got overcharged in person and it feels like they’d take any opportunity to earn extra money from me - The agenda includes fixed time at shopping area, and people can easily feel forced to buy things - Food may not be included in the package

Paul did such an amazing job organizing our trip. Our driver Charles also did an amazing job taking us to the best spots to see lions, hyenas, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and more. We got to see 17 lions close up beside our jeep which was extremely crazy! I could not be more pleased with our accommodations as well. I highly recommend anyone to do this!

Paul, the organizer for this trip has been amazing. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the months before we arrived in Nairobi. He set us up in a beautiful camp, where the service was excellent and food was delicious. Our main driver and guide, Charles, was awesome - punctual and knowledgeable on where to go in the park. We saw some amazing wildlife, something out of a movie!! I cannot thank Simba Para Safaris enough!

Simba Paka Tours was simply amazing!! Throughout the planning process, Paul, the owner was on point. He answered all questions and in a timely manner. He even answered when I mistakenly didn’t consider the time difference. He also assisted us with picking out a package that worked well for us. Our guide, Daniel, made sure we saw every animal and was informative, and personable. He drove safely and was prompt when picking us up for the day. He was wonderful!!

Outstanding experience. Paul went above and beyond to help and accommodate as well as answer all the questions I had and made me feel very welcome and cared for. Our driver and tour guide was Fred. He really took great care of us during our time in the Mara and did his best to make sure we had a great experience. We saw all the animals our heart desired. Many many many elephants and about nine or so lions among other wild life. Our stay was at a mid range lodge Enkorak. The food was really great and the service so wonderful. Staff were extra caring towards my son. I highly recommend this service.

Fabulous, saw big 5 . Experience was worthwhile. Went to Mara River, enjoyed time with Maasais at the Boma. Had lunch with them as well

I was planing to go to Masai Mara which was on my Bucket list for long. We planned on our own and started contacting Kenyan travel advisor and selected Sama Paka Safaris and contacted Mr Paul Kariuki from Mumbai who planned our itinerary and it was a great help . We stayed in Mara Chui Camp in Masai Mara for 3 days and really enjoyed the hospitality. The cottage was good and our stay was very comfortable. The food was excellent and the breakfast spread was not limited .

My family and I (including two daughters aged 12 and 8) have recently returned from an excellent Maasai Mara safari experience with Simba Paka. We stayed at Enkorok Camp which was perfect as a mid-range tented camp, with very good food, attentive service and a reassuring security presence round the clock. Our guide and driver was Francis, who took excellent care of us and made sure we had close sightings of a very wide range of animals. We saw all of the “big five” apart from rhino…but this was made up for by a sighting of a serval cat which is extremely rare. Paul, the owner of Simba Paka, was also responsive and reliable throughout. All in all an experience to be recommended. We plan to come back!

This tour is a must if you are visiting Kenya! Paul, Sarah and the team at Simba Paka Safaris were exceptional! Responses to questions were answered via email prior to our trip in a very timely and professional manner. We were picked up from our hotel, transported by Paul to meet the guide, Andrew, (who is First Class also) and his vehicle in Nairobi. Then our incredible experience to the Masai Mara began!! Truly do not have the right words to articulate just how fantastic our time was!! We were fortunate to be visiting at the start of the Wilderbeast migration, there was so much activity we were mind blown!! We saw pretty much every animal and bird that spends time in the Masai Mara mainly due to Andrew and his exceptional knowledge of the reserve!! The vehicle we travelled in was perfect for the terrain and was very comfortable! Our accommodation at Mara Nvodu was pleasant, clean and functional. The staff were wonderful. On the morning of the last day we visited the local Masai village where we were fortunate to meet members of the village tribe who opened their homes to us and shared some of their culture. We were transported back to our hotel after a truly memorable tour! Thank you Andrew, Paul and Sarah for helping us to make a dream come true!! We are hoping to be back again some day!!

I am overdue writing this review (my trip was in February 2023). The safari was incredible. I communicated with Paul via email to get it all set up, and then Ronnie (sp?) was my safari guide on the actual trip. Paul picked me up at my hotel in Nairobi and took me to meet the guide + rest of those on my group, and then Ronnie drove us all out to Masai Mara, was our guide for the duration of the trip, and drove us back to the city. I was a woman traveling alone (I'm 32, American) and I felt safe on the trip and well looked after by Ronnie, and it was fun to go with a group also to meet people. (With accommodations, I was very glad I opted for the mid-range option, could've probably even splurged on a luxury option! Budget would've been camping like in a tent-tent with detached shared bathroom. A couple men traveling solo in our group did this. Their campsite staff seemed very nice, but I was glad to have a bathroom/shower in my larger safari-style tent, and also a regular bed! In the mid-range which I did, I had the en-suite bath, a hot water shower, very comfortable bed, and meals included. I sat on the porch of my tent and watched the sunrise over the mountains drinking coffee, and then went and saw amazing animals in the most beautiful park I've ever been to. The safari itself was incredible. It's a bit of a drive out there (and the roads are unpaved the last ~80min or so, just to be aware of), but when you get to the park, you can't help but agree it's worth the trip. We were probably in the park for 10 minutes before I was looking right at a giraffe outside of our jeep. We saw like 20 lions. Leopards. Zebras. Wildebeests. Elephants. Baby elephants. More giraffes! (my favorite). Ronnie, our safari guide was SO knowledgeable about how to find all of the animals in the MASSIVE park. We'd just drive for miles over these unmarked small unpaved roads, and then arrive at a cheetah taking a nap under a tree. It was so cool. (Also a note - if you're debating between Masai Mara and Amboseli, I may have only been to the Mara, but I would choose it every time. From what I'd read before, and what I definitely saw for myself, Masai Mara itself even outside the animals is so stunning. The scenery is beautiful. I loved just driving through the park between animal sightings and looking at the nature all around. It was WELL worth the cost, an amazing experience, quite safe, and I would 100% recommend it and book again with this company.

I want to thank you Paul for all the organization: the experience was amazing! Thanks also to our guide Dikson, he was very kind and funny! I loved everything, from the camp to the food and, of course, the stunning Masai Mara. We were lucky because we saw so many animals, also a leopard which was very close to our car. Asante sana 🙏

From my arrival at the Nairobi airport they made me feel at home the treatment they provided me was great and fantastic they picked me up at the airport at dawn and took me to breakfast by the way Paul who is a great host I paid my bill from there we transported to Maasai With a driver of the best Anthony, the trip was pleasant and full of many adventures. Everything that was promised to me in the package was fulfilled from where I slept, meals, transportation and especially the safari, which has been one of the best experiences of my life. life. If you are looking for a safari in Kenya, Simba Paka Safari is your best choice. I have verified it myself and the experience has been wonderful. Without a doubt, I would do it again, so thank you very much for your attention and I hope to see you again soon, you are the best. Greetings from Chihuahua, Mexico. Diego Mejia

I decided on a 3-day solo, mid-range group joining tour and Paul, the owner, exceeded my expectations! He answered all of my questions promptly and reassured me when I was wary about traveling alone, and coordinated pick up and drop off at the airport, and also arranged a day for a private driver to take me to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Center at the end of the Safari. His attention to detail, ease of communication, and reasonable cost was what made me choose Simba Paka and I couldn’t be happier! I stayed at the Enkorok Mara Lodge and the food and service was excellent, as well as the room cozy and comfortable. During our game drives, Francis, our driver, was knowledgeable and gave us every opportunity to see all of the animals and 4 of the 5 Big 5! He went out of his way to try to spot a rhino, but they were in hiding when we were there. He was always prompt and was a great driver on those dirt roads. Everything about Simba Paka Safaris is excellent, you cannot go wrong!

Fantastic safari break with Simba Paka. Our driver Rahim was excellent and looked after us all from the moment we were picked up in Nairobi until the moment we were dropped off again. Had a great time in the park, it really was an excellent few days. The camp we stayed in was great as well, easily catered for vegans and the accommodation was perfect. Absolutely no complaints and would highly recommend this company.

This tour was the experience of a lifetime and I cannot thank Paul enough for making this possible! He was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions and made all problems disappear. The quality for the mid-range price point exceeded all expectations. The booking, logistics and support were flawless, my accommodation at the Enkorok Mara camp was the perfect location at which to stay, and our driver/guide Joshua gave us the best possible safari experience. Therefore my unreserved recommendation to Simba Paka for their excellent services and choice of equally high quality partners!

Excellent safari tour with Simba Paka safaris. Well priced, well organized, and so much fun! I opted to stay at Jambo Mara lodge. The facilities were superb, and the food was good. Mr. Paul (the owner) managed the logistics seamlessly. The package included pick up from your hotel- this made traveling so much easier. Mr. Paul (our guide) was excellent, shared interesting facts with us along the way, and helped us to capture the most amazing pictures. I can't recommend Simba Paka enough!

Well organized and professional throughout the booking and Safari process. Our driver, Mr Raheem was excellent in the safari. Having been a safari driver for 11 years, he knew all the best spots to find the animals. He also was patient and took care of any needs we had along the journey.

We live in Nairobi and my parents came to visit after Christmas. Simba Paka Safari was the best choice to take them to the Mara - it was well organised, the tents were huge, clean and comfortable, food was nice and it was grear value for money! We even askes our driver Albert to drop ky parents off at Naivasha on the wauly back and he had no issues with it. Very nice experience, recommended :)

We did have a lovely trip and the communication and organization with Paul was fine as well. Both by email/phone and whatsapp. Francis, our driver, picked us up and brought us back to our place in Nairobi. He is very helpful and friendly as well. Would certainly recommend to go with them :)

We throughly enjoyed our visit and our guide Edwin was friendly, knowledgeable and done his utmost for us to see the Big5 and beyond 😊 The Basic Camp we chose was clean but unfortunately we couldn’t stay as it didn’t provide WiFi. We found this disappointing, as most visitors are travelling from far and wide & need to use there devices. We ended up upgrading to the Jambo Mara Lodge which was okay but again the generator was turned off between 1130-0530 which meant no internet within those hours. Annoying as you’re not warned of this. If that can be corrected we would definitely give a 5*. Overall would definitely recommend visiting the beautiful & majestic Masai Mara 😍

We did a 3 days safari experience in Masai Mara and I´d recommend anyone to choose Simba Paka Safar. All was well organized (pick up, meals, nights at the camp, visit to the Masai village) and provided well. Isaac was our driver/guide, he made a fantastic job! we saw many different animals, even a leopard which is very exceptional! Without doubt, I´d repeat the experience with Sima Paka. Marta

Robert was a really amazing guide. The whole group appreciated all his effort. Thanks to him for a great time. The Maasai Mara experience was fantastic and booking with Simba Paka made it easy. Thankyou Simba Paka
