‍

Experience the unexplainable natural wonders of Kenya by booking a safari getaway at one of the top 10 luxury lodges in the Maasai Mara! From incredible Big 5 encounters to witnessing the famous Great Migration, this destination continues to surprise and delight visitors. 

‍

Africa is a promise in the making, and SAFARI.COM makes it effortless to book your dream safari getaway. With us, you will spend the same as you would by booking direct, with the added benefit of our expertise as we handle everything for you. 

‍

So, how do you choose your perfect safari experience in the Maasai Mara? Our expert team of consultants once again came together to cast their votes, ensuring we feature the best luxury lodges. From opulent tenting suites in the wild to elevated lodges with sweeping savannah views, your heart will beat to the pace of Africa’s untamed wilderness. 

‍

The Maasai Mara is an iconic safari destination, and your experiences should reflect this. Teeming with wildlife, it promises unforgettable viewing opportunities throughout the year. To bear witness to the Great Migration, plan your visit during the dry season (between July and October). When the wildebeest herds cross over the Serengeti into the Mara, predator action is prevalent, and thrilling encounters will take your breath away.

Trip of a lifetime made easy! Nerine put together an absolutely amazing Safari experience for us. She coordinated both of the local air fares we required, the local transports which were perfect, the lodge where we wanted to go and was very attentive and communicated with us throughout the entire process. We started planning 8 months in advance. I would highly recommend Safari.com and Nerine to anyone looking for a first class trip with little to none of the hassle planning it themselves. We would not hesitate to book with this company again! Our trip to South Africa was so special and beyond our expectations! Thank you Nerine!
