Budget Masai Mara Safari
Kenya's greatest wildlife at an incredible value
Tour Overview
Experience the world-famous Masai Mara without the premium price tag. This budget-friendly safari stays at comfortable camps on the edge of the reserve and spends full days inside the Mara for maximum wildlife viewing. The animals are the same whether you spend $200 or $2,000 a night — lions, cheetahs, elephants, and (seasonally) the Great Migration. Your experienced Maasai-born guide knows every inch of the Mara and will give you game viewing that rivals much more expensive safaris.
