4-Day Kenya Safari Itinerary — Masai Mara

Masai Mara • 4 days • Est. KES 62,100 – 76,600 per person per day

The Masai Mara is Kenya's flagship safari destination, and four days is the sweet spot: enough time for dawn and dusk game drives across different sectors of the reserve without the fatigue of a longer expedition. This itinerary pairs a well-reviewed lodge with the activities that consistently rate highest with travellers — morning drives when the big cats are active, and slower afternoons around the Mara River.

Every stop below is a real, verified place from our directory — not an AI guess. Prices reflect what Kenyan operators actually charge, park fees are included in the budget estimate, and you can rearrange every day in the free planner before you go.
