WE'RE GOING TO MASAI MARA, KENYA (but on a budget 🤑)

Want to encourage this channel directly? www.buymeacoffee.com/backpacksters (thank you! 😊)
In this Kenya Travel Vlog, we went on a 3 day, 2 night safari to Masai Mara, one of the most popular nature reserves on the planet!
We booked our tour with Baboon Budget Safari in Nairobi city centre. The cost of the safari (during the off-season) was:
- USD 100 per person, per day for the entry tickets to Masai Mara (which is USD 200 per person, per day during the tourist season beginning June 2024)
- USD 160 per person for the whole excursion which includes:
- stay at the campsite (we chose a budget tent accommodation)
- breakfast, lunch and dinner during the trip (vegetarian food available)
- unlimited drinking water, tea, coffee and chocolate milk (other drinks extra)
- Game drives in a safari tour van (Toyota Hiace with pop-up roof / viewing balcony)
- Transfers from Nairobi to Masai Mara and back to Nairobi
- Full-time guide throughout the journey who knows a LOT about the animals (definitely ask for Mr. Boniface 🤠)
The prices and discounts change quite often depending on the season and tourist demand - so best to reach out directly to Baboon Budget Safaris and negotiate for a good deal!

    Oh yes we saw them! So many people in the village (at the end of this video) - even our camp we stayed in, was run by the Masai locals 🤩

    Glad that you made it to Masai Mara. It’s good that you are making others know that one can get to visit the Masai Mara on a budget.

    I think if they make it very cheap the animal habitats will be over flooded with visitors which may not be healthy for the entire eco system.

    It was very pleasant weather.. cool at night and a bit hot in the sunny weather 😅 off season is now - when there's more rains and feeder animals (look-up "the great migration" on the internet) 🐘
