Affordable Getaway Masai Mara Package | 3 Days 2 Nights
Keekorok Lodge or similar
Affordable Romantic Getaway Safaris
Three days out of Nairobi, into open grassland and real wildlife, without the price tag of a full luxury safari.
Sometimes you do not need an occasion, just a genuine break from the city. This getaway package puts you on a shared group joining safari vehicle out to the Masai Mara, based at Keekorok Lodge or similar inside the reserve itself, with two full days of game drives alongside a small group of fellow travellers.
It is built for people who want the real Mara experience, lions, wide open plains, proper game drives, without paying for a private vehicle they do not necessarily need.
And if you do want one evening that feels a little more set apart, we have a private sundowner option built right into the add-ons.

About Package
More information about this package
Shared group joining safari vehicle, typically 6 to 7 guests plus a driver-guide, on a fixed schedule of 1 to 2 game drives a day, the most cost-effective way to see the Mara properly.
Two nights at Keekorok Lodge, or similar, inside the reserve. Keekorok sits on 80 acres directly in the Great Migration's path, with a resident hippo pool, guest pool and game-viewing deck, roughly 3.7 km from Keekorok Airstrip.
A genuine in-reserve base. Keekorok is inside the park boundary, not a gateway town, so your group's game drives start right from the lodge rather than after a long approach drive.
Migration-season relevance (July to October). If your dates fall in this window, the Mara River crossings are one of the most dramatic wildlife spectacles anywhere and worth building your trip around if you can.
Clear, fixed game drive schedule. Morning and late-afternoon drives run on a set shared schedule, communicated before you book so there are no surprises.
Honest road transfer timing. Nairobi to Keekorok Lodge is approximately 270 km, roughly 5 to 6 hours by road via Narok town and Sekenani Gate, tarmac most of the way with a murram stretch inside the reserve.
Flight alternative genuinely available. Safarilink, AirKenya, Fly540 and Jambo Jet fly Wilson Airport to Mara airstrips in about 45 to 60 minutes for anyone who would rather trade the road time for extra hours in the bush.
Private upgrade available for anyone who wants it. The existing Vehicle Upgrade add-on converts you to a private vehicle if the group format does not suit your group, see add-ons below.
