Top Things to do in Maasai Mara National Reserve
10 Bus Tours in Maasai Mara National Reserve That You Shouldn't Miss
Maybe your local zoo has lions, leopards, zebras or elephants. Maybe they even have wildebeest. But we bet they don't have 1.3 million wildebeest—never mind 1.3 million wildebeest in migration, with predators in hot pursuit. It's one of the most awesome sights in nature, and you can see it at Masai Mara in southwestern Kenya.

Join this 6-night tour to explore Kenya's most famous National Reserve.

We had an absolutely amazing time and it was a breathtaking and wonderful experience. To be honest I think everybody should do a safari once in their lifetime! And if you can, you should definitely do that with Shoor Travel! Right from the start we have been in contact with Jane, who assisted us in organizing everything. As you can imagine we had a ton of questions, especially as my partner and I (36&32) were travelling with my parents (61&77) and wanted to ensure we have a very smooth trip. Jane was super patient, always very professionell and helpful and really a true angel. We cannot thank her enough. Jane is amazing! We were 6 days on the road with our driver guide John. He was an incredibly awesome, kind and knowledgeable guide, we had so much fun with him and the whole family enjoyed every minute of the tour. He is a really great guy and we appreciate him so very much! Furthermore we were soooo happy about the cozy bus with comfortable seats and pop up roof. We got into one of the Jeeps for the Balloon Safari and... Yes they do look nice and kind of super safari fancy but they are incredibly uncomfortable and everybody was happy to get into "our bus" afterwards. So please please keep those busses. We also added a few extra activities like the mentioned Baloon safari in Masai mara, a boat safari at lake Naivasha, a Massai village Visit and everything was perfectly organized. Furthermore the recommended hotels were simply amazing. We absolutely loved Serena Amboseli lodge and also liked the Lake Naivasha Country Club very much. The booked Kekooro Lodge in Masai Mara was not our favorite, but this has to do with the hotels very poor management and policy regarding drivers and guides, but this is a complete other story and has nothing to do with Shoor travel. To keep a long story short and wrap this up. We can only say THANK YOU Jane, THANK YOU John and thank you shoor travel for a once in a lifetime experience. If we ever have the chance to come to do a Safari again we will definitely book with you!

The Safari was absolutely incredible, we loved every minute of it and wish we could have done more. Davido was a great tour guide, and we'd recommend him to anyone - super attentive and catered to the type of adventure we were looking for. John Peter who helped us plan everything was so flexible and had abundant patience (trust me, I changed our Giraffe Manor booking 4 times). Thanks for this incredible experience!!

David was recommended to us by Mara Serena hotel, in which we stayed with a friend while visiting Masai Mara. David picked us up from the airport upon arrival, drove us to Masai Mara and did game drives with us. It was super convenient as we did not have time to plan ahead of our trip. As we were super happy with David, we extended our booking by a few more days, and went with him to Lake Nakuru Park. Overall, we had a great experience with David. He is very knowledgeable about all topics, be it safari animals or Kenya politics. We truly had super interesting conversations. On top of that, David went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience, and always proved flexible, timely, and helpful. Would recommend Native Africa Trails and David to anyone, and would definitely use their help should I come back to Kenya. Thank you again !

To anyone looking for a tour operator for your Kenya safari, look no further. Explorer Kenya, Robert, was a true pleasure to work with. At times I felt sorry for him since I've made many changes to our itinerary, but Robert always promptly made adjustments and recommendations where neccecary. All this at the best price I've seen. Therefore, the bitter taste when I had to cancel due to covid situation was even worse. The flexibility Explorer Kenya is what is needed in these strange times. Once I cancelled our trip, the refund had been on my account in less than 2 days. Absolutely amazing. I am so looking forward to the day when we can travel to Kenya worry free and I will most certainly contact Robert, and no one else. Excellent job Explorer Kenya! Thank you!

We did the 3 day Private Maasai Safari tour. Our tour guy Joel exceeded our expectations and so much more. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the land. I was able to get some amazing pictures that look like post card. He has so much passion and love for the animals. I learn more from him than I did at the zoo. You can tell he really love his job and it shows. Our safety was Joel number one priority. I felt safe at all time. Thank you Joel for being so patience when we was shopping . He never rush us, or told us to hurry up. He let us shop to we drop.

This is an amazing tour!! From the lunch, the guide brought us to a really tasty roadside restaurant for lunch that is clean and super tasty food. And the lodge was superb! It was close to the National Park! We saw all the Big 5 and the driver was amazing and focused on having the guests see all of the animals as his goal! This is a once of a lifetime experience I cannot recommend highly enough!

If you're in Kenya, I advise you to make this apart of your itinerary asap. This experience was one of the most beautiful and amazing tours I've been on in a while. Our safari guide by the name of Joseph was helpful and very knowledgeable throughout the journey. He knew exactly where and when to go to see all the animals of Africa, without him we would've been clueless. From the animals to the views especially of Mt. Kilimanjaro was breathtaking and something i recommend all travelers to do. Thank you
