4-Day Nairobi & Maasai Mara Safari

Overall, a great experience! LakeNaivasha was a great way to start the tour seeing hippos and all the wildlife. Maasai Mara was simply unforgettable, a sunrise start to the day and saw so many animals- lions with their cubs, leopards, hippos, and elephants. It couldnot have been better. Our tour guide, Sam, was the best. Made everything fun and was flexible if we wanted to see other sites or other activities.

I was put in touch with Samson's Safaris via a friend and it did not disappoint. I was in touch with Kimani since early March and he made the organization and payment process very smooth. He also gave prompt responses to every inquiry I had prior to the trip. On our second day in Nairobi, the driver (Eric) and guide (Sam) took us to the national musuem, national park, and a delicious lunch at Mama Oliech. The following day we made our journey to the Maasai Mara with Eric and Kimani with a few stops in between. From them on we had three straight days of unbelievable game drives. We spotted every animal imaginable and then some. What an adventure! I also liked how calm Kimani and Eric remained when our tire got stuck for a few minutes while off-road - all part of the adventure. Back at the game camp we played games together (pool, darts, table tennis), had a few beers, and had meals together at each interval. On the final day together, we were taken on a cultural tour of a local Maasai village which is also unforgettable. I can go on and on about the trip, but will not have any words to describe every great moment. It is something that simply must be experienced and Samson's Safaris was the perfect facilator for our family. I hope to do it again soon.
