Kenya · MASAI MARA SAFARIS
The Mara is five to six hours from Nairobi, which makes the one-day version a lot of driving for very little grass. These 15 are mostly three-day runs in shared or private 4WDs, compared on what the price actually includes: park fees, camp, and how many game drives you get.
