Masai Mara Packages from Dubai
Masai Mara packages from Dubai are easier than they may first appear. You do not need to buy a complicated all-in-one holiday package before leaving Dubai. One of the best ways to plan your safari is to book your international flight to Kenya yourself, decide how many days you want to spend on safari, and let a local Kenyan safari company arrange everything from the moment you arrive in Nairobi.
This approach gives you more flexibility and can save you a lot of money.
How to plan your Masai Mara safari from Dubai
The simple way to do it is:
Book your international flight from Dubai to Nairobi.
Choose how many days you want to be on safari.
Tell us your travel dates, number of travellers and preferred accommodation level.
We arrange your safari from Nairobi onwards.
You can keep the safari focused on the Masai Mara, or add another Kenyan destination if you have more time.
For example, you could choose a 3-day, 4-day, 5-day or 7-day safari depending on your holiday schedule. There is no need to make the trip complicated with several destinations if the Masai Mara is what you really want to see.
Why book your international flight yourself?
It can make sense to separate your international flight from your safari.
You can compare the flights available from Dubai, choose the dates and airline that suit you, and then have a Kenyan safari company handle the local arrangements.
Once you arrive in Nairobi, we can take care of the important parts of your safari, including your Nairobi transfer, safari vehicle, driver-guide, accommodation, park arrangements and internal travel where required.
You are dealing directly with a local company that knows Kenya, rather than paying for several layers of arrangements before you even arrive.

Choose Your Safari, Then Leave the Rest to Us
You don’t need to arrange every part of the Kenya safari yourself.
Book your international flight from Dubai to Nairobi, decide how many days you want to spend in the Masai Mara, and we can handle the safari arrangements from Nairobi.
The 3-night / 4-day flying safari is particularly useful if you want to make the most of your time in Kenya. The flight from Nairobi gets you to the Mara much faster than travelling by road, giving you more time in the safari area.
And if you want to stay longer, that’s fine too. We can build a longer Masai Mara safari around the number of days you have available.
Your international flight gets you to Kenya. We take it from there.
What is included?
The exact inclusions depend on the package you choose, but our 3-night / 4-day flying packages generally combine return flights between Nairobi and the Masai Mara, accommodation, meals, airstrip transfers, game drives and the applicable park fees.
Your international flight from Dubai to Nairobi is not included. That is the flight you book yourself.
This is what makes the whole process straightforward:
Dubai → Nairobi on your own international flight → we take care of your safari → Nairobi → Dubai
You choose the dates and the level of accommodation you want, and we arrange the Kenya safari around you.
Travelling light? Remember the 15 kg luggage rule
If you choose a flying safari to the Masai Mara, luggage is generally limited to 15 kg per person and should be packed in soft bags because of the smaller safari aircraft.
So don’t arrive in Kenya with a giant hard-shell suitcase. A soft-sided bag is the way to go.
Want more or fewer days?
Three nights is only a starting point. If you have more time, we can arrange a longer Masai Mara stay or combine the Mara with another part of Kenya.
The important thing is that you don’t have to figure out the whole safari yourself.
Book your flight to Nairobi. Decide how many days you want to be on safari. Then let a local Kenyan company handle the rest.
That is often the simpler — and better-value — way to experience the Masai Mara from Dubai.
How many days do you need in the Masai Mara?
That depends on how much time you have.
A 3-day safari can work well if you are short on time and want to concentrate on the Masai Mara.
A 4-day Masai Mara safari gives you more time for game drives and is a popular choice for a first safari.
If you have 5 to 7 days, you can spend longer in the Mara or combine it with another Kenyan destination such as Amboseli, Lake Nakuru or a beach stay.
There is no need to follow a fixed package. Tell us how many days you have and we can build the safari around your schedule.
Fly or drive from Nairobi to the Masai Mara?
After arriving in Nairobi, you have two straightforward ways to get to the Masai Mara.
You can drive to the Mara, which takes several hours and gives you the opportunity to see more of the Kenyan countryside along the way.
Alternatively, you can fly from Nairobi to a Mara airstrip, which saves considerable travel time and gets you into the safari area much faster.
Your choice will depend on your budget, available time and the type of safari experience you want.
What does your safari include?
Once you arrive in Kenya, we can arrange the local part of your holiday for you.
Depending on the safari you choose, this can include:
Airport transfers in Nairobi
Private safari vehicle and local driver-guide
Masai Mara accommodation
Game drives
Park fees
Meals according to your chosen accommodation
Internal flights where required
Transfers between destinations
Additional Kenyan destinations if you want to extend the trip
You simply arrive in Nairobi and we handle the safari arrangements from there.
When is the best time to visit the Masai Mara?
The Masai Mara is a year-round safari destination, but July to October is particularly popular because of the Great Migration and the possibility of seeing dramatic river crossings.
If your dates do not fall during the migration, that does not mean you should skip the Mara. Wildlife is present throughout the year, and different months offer different advantages.
The most important thing is to choose dates that work for you and then build the safari around them.
A simpler way to book your Kenya safari
You do not need to spend weeks trying to put together every part of your Kenya holiday from Dubai.
Book your flight to Nairobi. Decide how many days you want to be on safari. Then let a local Kenyan company handle the rest.
That is the advantage of booking your safari locally. You get local knowledge, direct support and a safari designed around your dates and budget — without making the trip more complicated than it needs to be.
If you are travelling from Dubai and want to visit the Masai Mara, send us your travel dates, number of travellers and the number of safari days you have available. We will build the Kenya safari around you.
