Planned to perfection 👌
Our game drive experience in the Masai Mara was nothing short of extraordinary. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless, thanks to Naiomi and the entire team of Mara Wanderlust for all the arrangements. There were lots of hiccups and challenges before the trip, from date change to flight cancellation. Everything was handled with professionalism and empathy and finally we had the trip of our life.
We were lucky enough to witness a truly rare and unforgettable moment—a cheetah in the middle of a hunt and making a successful kill. It was raw, powerful, and something we will remember for a lifetime. Beyond that, the wildlife sightings were simply phenomenal. We encountered around 30 lions, including prides lounging and interacting, along with numerous elephants moving gracefully across the plains.
The landscape itself was breathtaking—vast, golden savannahs stretching endlessly, creating the perfect backdrop for the stunning giraffes, zebras, and other wildlife we saw throughout the drive. Every turn seemed to reveal something new and spectacular.
What really elevated the experience was our guide/ friend / driver " Gleen ". His knowledge, patience, and sharp eye ensured we didn’t miss a single moment. He knew exactly where to go and shared fascinating insights about the animals and ecosystem, making the drive both exciting and educational. He got the best attitude you need for such long game drives. Happy and excited.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend The Mara Wanderlust and Gleen to anyone visiting the Masai Mara!
Asante !

5 star experience!
So where do I start from?
My husband and I always wanted to do this and finally booked a private safari with The Mara Wanderlust for Masai Mara and Naivasha to celebrate our anniversary. It was the best decision ever.
Everything we wanted to do was perfectly arranged by Naomi starting from the pickup till the drop off back at the airport. These guys will make your experience be the best one ever. The entire experience far exceeded our expectations.
Glenn, our guide+driver, who was with us throughout is very experienced and knows his work very well. He is the guy to go for if you're planning to visit. Highly recommended!
Naomi and Glenn are doing a fab job. This company deserves an excellent rating. It was surely a jaw dropping experience.
Keep up the good work!!

Mara Wanderlust gave us a wonderful safari experience
We had a great experience with Mara Wanderlust! Everything worked out right from the beginning to the end.
We initially contacted many agencies but settled on Mara Wanderlust because their agent, Vincent, was quick to respond to our enquiries and had realistic answers to all our questions. Their itinerary was also easy to understand.
And when we arrived in Kenya, we loved the reception. The safari hats were so nice. And their guide, Glenn, was also patient and knowledgeable. We were able to see all the Big5 in Masai Mara. Amboseli stood out because of the huge number of elephants and scenic views of Mount Kilimanjaro from Ol Tukai. At Naivasha, we were able to do a boat safari and see hippos.
We really enjoyed the safari and recommend booking with Mara Wanderlust!

Amazing 🤩
We had an absolutely amazing 3 days / 2 nights Maasai Mara safari arranged by Mara Wanderlust. A special thank you to Naiomi, who planned everything so smoothly from start to finish. She was extremely helpful, responsive, and made the entire experience stress-free and memorable.
Our driver Felix, did a wonderful job throughout the full day game drive. His knowledge, patience, and sharp eye for spotting wildlife made our safari truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
