About this experience
This is a private Transfer for your party only.
This transfer is for clients who have booked Lodges in Maasai mara and they just want to be dropped to Maasai mara.
The lodges have their own open Jeeps for game drives but they dont pick in Nairobi due to regulations restricting open sided cars on highways. They only pick at the gate.
You have a chance to see the beautiful scenery on the way and we will stop at the great rift valley view point.
We pick up at the airport in Nairobi at NO extra cost.
NOTE;Upon request. We are happy to offer GAME DRIVES in maasai mara too at an extra cost since most of the lodges offer shared expensive game drives and in short Intervals.
