Two nights only really gives you one day of game drives, there might be quite a bit of animals you might not get to see. While they try to keep track of where the animals are, the pesky thing about free roaming animals is that you never really know. Of course I don't know your boredom threshold, and what you expect from a safari lodge, but I'd keep the 4 nights at the Masai Mara if it was me.
