3 days – Masai Mara

DAY 1. NAIROBI TO MAASAI MARA
We will pick you up in Nairobi around 7am this morning and proceed on the scenic journey towards the Maasai Mara (approx. 5-6hr drive). We will descend down the Great Rift Valley escarpment on route where you have the opportunity to stop for photos at the lookout point. We hope to reach our accommodation of Basecamp Adventure, near Talek in the Maasai Mara, in time for lunch. This afternoon we will head out for our first game drive of the safari. The Maasai Mara is a Big 5 National Game Reserve meaning it is home to all of the Big 5; Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard and Buffalo, although some of them are very hard to spot so what you see all depends on your luck on the day! We will return to camp this evening for dinner and overnight. L,D

DAY 2. MAASAI MARA
Today we will head out into the Maasai Mara National Reserve for a full day game drive with packed lunches which we will enjoy later under a shady tree. We will have time to explore large areas of the reserve today and visit an area frequented by Hippos and Crocodiles before we return to our camp late this afternoon for dinner and overnight. B,L,D

DAY 3. MAASAI MARA TO NAIROBI
This morning we will depart camp after breakfast and game drive our way out of the Masai Mara by 10am, before we go for a Masai guided nature walk. Here you will have the opportunity to learn about the Maasai tribe and culture from your guide, and also learn about the traditional medicinal uses of several trees and plants. Afterwards we will make our way back to Nairobi, we’ll have a lunch stop on route and we should arrive back to Nairobi in the afternoon (approx. 5hr drive). B,L

Moses and Laura have created a one-of-a-kind oasis for any traveler who wants a unique experience beyond the typical safari tented camp or lodge. They are welcoming, generous with their time, and full of insight into local life and culture - and have the best viewing platform, by far. The team on their farm and their guides are terrific, too!

I stayed in the Pink Container for 4 nights and wish I had booked more time. Laura made everything so easy prior to arrival and helped me decide to do the catered option which I recommend. Moses provides some amazing meals with ingredients from their farm, and Laura tops things off with fantastic desserts. There were always plentiful food options, and they can cater to what you like. They also invited me into their purple container for Kenyan tea, so kind. I recommend taking a tour of the farm, it is amazing to see how it all works and you can see how munch effort is being put into the property. My Maasai game driver Mike was extra knowledgeable and kind and definitely knew his way around the park. Even got to find an elusive rhino! The Maasai BBQ was a must, fresh meat, great company and some cultural immersion. No mosquito issues inside as long as you use the devices and bug net while sleeping. And herding in the morning with Cactus and the dogs was a treat as well. Worth every dolla

We had a brilliant stay at the pink container, the time here was the best few days of our time in Kenya. The accommodation and surroundings were even better than described in the listing and all of the activities and food organised for us were excellent, especially the 2 full days in the Masai Mara. I recommend for families (our kids aged 9 and 11 loved it). Great hospitality and communication from Moses and Laura, many thanks for a wonderful experience.

Moses and Laura were amazing host. From suggesting routes, arranging a full day game drive (Jeffrey our guide brought the best of Masai Mara to us) to joining us for sunsets! The Pink Container was the most comfortable airbnb we stayed at so far :)

We had an absolutely amazing stay at the pink container & would have loved to stay longer. Moses & everyone we met were so wonderful, we really felt right at home. The time flew by in the most beautiful surroundings, and it was such a great base to explore Maasai Mara too! Everything was clean and worked well, the kitchen was very well stocked. We brought some of the food items ourselves & bought some stuff from the farm directly - delicious. 100% recommend this place and we would stay again, and hopefully will one day!

Could not possibly recommend Moses' and Laura's place more highly - from the gorgeous location at their lush farm close to the park gate, to my guide Mike who couldn't have been more welcoming, patient with (stupid) questions about Maasai and Kenyan life, knowledgeable about the wildlife, or just a joy to hang out with, to the fantastic home cooked catering using many ingredients from the farm, to Moses' banter and storytelling, and more. I'd come back next week if I could - but whoever is reading this, you should be the one who takes that spot. You won't regret it!

Absolute best Airbnb and Safari experience I’ve ever had (I’m a girl mid-20s, huge traveler). My mom and brother were coming to visit me and their flight was canceled last minute and Moses was very understanding allowed me to change the dates without charge. I spent a long time researching places and Moses’s place was incredibly underpriced compared to the other rates in the area, especially for the HIGH value of the place. The place was super clean, comfortable, gorgeous location (sunset especially). Plus you have the option of meals (super reasonably priced) from the farm that tasted amazing. A highlight was Moses spending time taking us around the farm for a tour and telling us about the village (for free), he even gave me local herbal oil for my back pain.The Safari with Mara Explorers was so memorable, the price was amazing. Mike the guide knew so much about where to find the all the animals and was so attentive and knowledgeable. We saw every animal! Highly recommend.

Moses and his friends have provided us with a perfect trip in Kenya. He gives me a feeling that he knows how we can make the world a better place and he is trying to use his power to make it happen. I appreciate the opportunity to talk with him and his team for many days. Also, I must say, what he and Simon have provided us is not just accommodation and guided tours, but more on lifestyle. I enjoy the whole experience!
