Safaris & Day Tours

From a single day in the Mara to a nine-day migration circuit — every itinerary is private, flexible and led by a guide who grew up beside these parks.

Great Migration Safari

Follow the herds across the Maasai Mara and up through the Serengeti to the Mara River crossings. We time your trip to the season, not to a fixed calendar, so you are where the animals actually are.

Run by a family, guided by neighbours

Moven Safaris started in 2017 in Nairobi with one Land Cruiser and a driver named Kevin, who learned these parks as a boy through a lifelong interest in wildlife and camping culture and now has nine years in guiding. Nine years later the fleet has expanded to various types of vehicles, and we still answer the phone ourselves, and still put the same guide in the driver's seat for the whole of your trip.

We keep groups to six guests per vehicle on purpose. It means a window seat for everyone, room for the camera gear, and a guide who can hear your questions over the engine. It also means we can turn the vehicle around when someone spots fresh lion tracks — which is usually how the best sightings happen.

What Travellers Say

Reviews from guests who travelled with us in the last two seasons.

Six of us in one vehicle meant we never once had to crane over someone's shoulder. Joseph spotted a cheetah from what felt like a kilometre away and we had it to ourselves for twenty minutes before anyone else arrived.


Hannah & Tom BradleyBristol, UK — 6-day Maasai Mara & Amboseli

We booked late and asked for something shorter than the usual package. Moven built us a four-day trip around our flights, answered every email within a day, and the price we were quoted was the price we paid.


Marieke de VriesUtrecht, Netherlands — 4-day camping safari

The Maasai village visit was the part I expected to feel staged and it was the opposite — we sat with a family for two hours, no rush, no sales pitch. Our guide translated everything and clearly knew them well.
