3 Days Maasai Mara Group Joining Safari (2023 wildebeest migration)

Our 3 Days, 2 Nights Masai Mara group joining safaris from Nairobi will take you to the world cup of wildlife for the 2023 wildebeest migration experience. Take advantage of our Maasai Mara Group Joining safaris packages and let’s go witness this annual spectacle.

Crowned the 8th wonder of the world in 2012, the Maasai Mara wildebeest migration is a spectacular sight to behold bringing thousands of wildlife from the Serengeti plains to Maasai to Maasai mara every year. Our 3 days, 2 nights Masai mara packages to the Masai Mara are ideal for travelers who don’t mind sharing transport with our other guests or anyone looking to save money on their trip to the Maasai Mara.

For our 3 days, 2 nights as Masai Mara group joining safari packages to Maasai Mara, we have worked with some of the recognized tented camps and lodges and negotiated very special rates for all our guests seeking to witness the wildebeest migration.

Why you should book a Maasai Mara Group Joining Safaris

There are various reasons why you should book a group joining safari to the Maasai Mara:

• Group joining safaris are cheaper compared to a private safari where you would be required to pay for the entire vehicle regardless of how many people you will be traveling with. By paying for your seat only, a group joining safari enables many tourists to enjoy safari moments that otherwise would have been too expensive to afford.
• Group Joining Safaris gives social tourists an opportunity to interact with other guests from different cultures. If you are an outgoing person, a group joining safari can help you meet new people and make friends.
