How much time you get on the ground
A short safari spends little time in the reserve: on three days, only one full day is set aside for it. Longer options spread the days across several parks, with transfers to allow for between each.
Entry fees and extras to compare
Read what each listing counts in the price. Entry fees are included in the five-day and seven-day options, but paid separately on the three-day and four-day ones. The balloon flight and the Maasai village visit are optional extras depending on the option.
Think about the pace
The longer the circuit, the more drives through the Rift Valley add up. If you are travelling with young children or prefer quiet days, a short option leaves more breathing room.
Timing matters too
The great migration is possible from July to October or November depending on the source, with no fixed date. Whichever option you choose, no sighting is guaranteed.
