How do you do Maasai Mara on a budget? You leave Nairobi early and get to Osim Country Lodge just outside Narok Towm. They have rooms from 1500/~ (single) to 3,500 for a double incl breakfast.
Apart from the feeling that you're sleeping in a stadium with all the Kenyan flag colors decor, it's a pretty decent room. This is the double room
Spend 1 nite here,leave at around 5.30am and drive to Sekanani Gate. Should take you about 1 hour 30 mins. At this point you will have gotten in touch with me to get you a landcruiser into the park 😂😂. Full day game drive with a sundowner, then drive back to Osim for a night.
Wake up, have a slow breakfast, go fishing, catch nothing like me, then head back to Nairobi.
Doesn't matter what you drive, your car will get you to Osim and Sekanani gate. I will organise your parking for your car as you switch to the landcruiser. Way cheaper than paying for one in Nairobi. If you get stuck, take selfies. Doesn't take long 😂
Come back with memories and awesome pics. Repeat.
By the way, if you are outside Nairobi and can make it to Narok/Mara before lockdown is lifted, the KES 9,000 rate for the 7-seater landcruisercan be discussed. Note: just for this period!
