About this activity

Experience Kenya's most iconic wildlife reserve on a 3-day camping safari departing from Nairobi, where you'll pursue lions, leopards, and the full cast of African megafauna across the Maasai Mara. Tent accommodation puts you close to the action at a fraction of lodge prices, letting you fall asleep to the sounds of the savannah.

Discover Maasai Mara National Reserve on a 3-day camping safari from Nairobi that includes accommodations in tents, a budget-friendly alternative to pricey lodges that lets you soak up the sights and sounds of the savannah at night. You’ll search for Maasai Mara’s big cats and other wildlife on daily game drives that go from the banks of the Mara River to the reserve’s vast, sprawling plains.

Highlights

  • ✓Daily game drives across Maasai Mara's plains and riverine corridors
  • ✓Big cat tracking—lions, leopards, and cheetahs in their natural habitat
  • ✓Mara River crossings and diverse wildlife encounters
  • ✓Immersive camping experience under starlit African skies
  • ✓Budget-conscious alternative to traditional safari lodges

Insider tips

  • ★Early morning drives (5–6 AM starts) offer the best lighting for photography and highest predator activity when game congregates at water sources.
  • ★Bring binoculars and a zoom lens; many sightings occur at distance, especially for cats.
  • ★Request a guide who specialises in big-cat tracking if photography is your priority—they know the territories where lions and leopards rest during the day.

Good to know

  • •Pack warm layers for cool dawn and evening temperatures, even in the dry season.
  • •Sunscreen, hat, and insect repellent are essential; the Mara sun is intense and mosquitoes active at dusk.
  • •Tent camps are basic but functional; expect shared or private bell tents depending on booking option.
  • •All meals typically included; confirm dietary requirements when booking.
