About this experience

We pick clients in the Maasai Mara who booked their Masai Mara stay but are interested to have game drives and Safari in the Masai Mara Park.
We offer unlimited game drives - for 8 hours.
Our Tour is unique as it is a private Tour and it is also relatively cheaper price comprared to what hotels/lodges in the Masai Mara offer.
The difference between us and the game drives that are offered by Hotel Jeeps if you book a Ground package, they only offer very short and expensive game drives as they charge per hour. The Game drives are also not private as you have to join a group from the Hotel so its not private;
Ours is on private and lasts 8 hours.
A rare chance to experience a taste of local life and learn about the traditional cultures of Africa, it's certainly not hard to see why visiting a Maasai village is at the top of the Kenya must-see list! A Maasai village tour is the perfect accompaniment to a Kenyan safari or Kenyan vacation.
