1. Use a local agent:  Local tour operators may help you get great prices for a 3 days Masai Mara camping safari on a budget. Foreign agent’s prices are usually higher.
2. Join a Mara group tour: There are many safari companies in Nairobi that offer daily departures to Masai Mara. These Joining Nairobi tour companies will usually combine several people in an 8-seater tour van to share the cost and make it affordable.
3. Choose a mid-range Maasai Mara camp: The basic tented camps tend to be abit basic but you can get great value in a mid-range tented camp as they are cleaner, have more facilities and greater food. Examples are Enkorok, Lenchada, Simba and Oryx among others. these are best for a budget 3 days masai mara camping safari.
4. Include a Masai Village Tour: It is not enough to see the Masai Mara wildlife and miss out on the Masai people. Make sure to request for a trip to the Masai villages around the park where the Masai can show you their intriguing lifestyle. Learn how to dance the ‘Aduma’ Masai levitational jumping dance or how to make fire with two sticks.
5. Best time to go to Maasai Mara: If you want to get the wildebeest migration at the Mara river crossing, you will need to go for a safari around between July and august. But the park is full of summer crowds as well and the prices are at their highest at that time. The best time to enjoy low prices and avoid the crowds is to go on the low season around March to May. This however is also the wet season and could complicate game drive at times but as I said the prices are very friendly.

There are many more highlights that you will experience including balloon safaris, walking safaris, birding walks and even a local marathon.
