Kenya Masai Mara Safari from Nairobi is one of the best short safaris for travellers with limited time who still want to see most of what a safari has to offer. This short safari departs daily from Nairobi as long as 2 or more people are booked, visiting the famous Masai Mara - the only park where you will see most of the wildlife, including the Big Five, in the shortest time. It is also especially popular during the wildebeest migration from July to October for those who want to witness the migration as the herds cross the Mara River.
