Experience the Ultimate Kenyan Adventure: Masai Mara Safari Packages

Dec 03, 2025 0

Kenya, an East African nation, is renowned for its wondrous wildlife, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture. The Masai Mara is a safari classic for a reason: it's temperate climate, fertile soil and wide-open plains support a huge number of animals and make for easy game spotting.

A safari in Masai Mara is arguably the best wildlife adventure experience in the world and this is certainly not an over statement. The reserve is home to some of the most diverse collection of animals, not just the 'Big Five' but also the 'Big Nine' most of which can be seen during a safari tour in Masai Mara. Though the wildbeest migration season from July to September is the highlight of the year, a Masai Mara safari is a rewarding experience all year round.

We are listing several 2025 and 2026 Masai Mara tour packages below which range from budget road tours to luxury Fly-In Safaris staying at boutique Tented Camps.

Safari Type	Highlights
Fly-in Safari	Fly between different camps to experience two very landscapes in Kenya. The Mara promises classic savannah with large herds of elephant and, of course, wildebeest while Samburu is hillier and more arid, a supportive environment for more unusual species.
Walking/Horseback Safari	Some safaris allow you to ditch the game-drive vehicle in favour of walking; this one lets you saddle up a horse to gallop with the herds in a completely enthralling experience!
Multi-Destination Safari	Hit three biggies in one fell swoop. Cape Town will appeal to nature lovers, foodies and wine drinkers while Victoria Falls is a must-do for everyone, especially adrenalin seekers.
Bush-and-Beach Safari	Step up your bush-and-beach itinerary by jetting off to one of the world's most remote archipelagos after a time in both Nairobi National Park and the Mara. Keep it easy by staying in East Africa for your bush-and-beach break. Zanzibar is an island of fun contrasts: a place of old palaces and forts but also the birthplace of inimitable singer Freddie Mercury of Queen.
Camel Safari	For the first part of your safari, it's the camels that'll be doing most of the walking! Hitching a ride on a camel gives you an entirely different perspective of Laikipia's landscape and brings you closer to the pristine nature that surrounds you.

This Kenya fly-in safari is perfect for travellers on time constraints but who want to see as much of this spectacular country as they can - in just over a week. Flying between lodges saves you time on road transfers, giving you more time on safari.

Enjoy the trip of a lifetime as you wake up to the sounds of the wild, while you travel through Kenya and Tanzania. You begin in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and move on to two authentic tented safari camps - one placed in the Serengeti and the other in the Masai Mara, following the herds of the Migration.
