E. THE MASAI MARA
The Masai Mara is a romantic safari destination with some truly luxurious intimate camps and Masai Mara safari lodges to cater and pamper you on this relaxing getaway. There are also family-friendly Masai Mara safari lodges and camps that offer family rooms and child-friendly activities so that the whole family can experience and enjoy the beauty of the bush.
One of the most serene ways to experience the vastness of this landscape is by floating above the Masai Mara in a hot air balloon. Walking safaris accompanied by a knowledgeable local Maasai guide are also a wonderful way to explore the savannah. The Masai Mara features a stunning kaleidoscope of wild and rugged landscapes, warm and welcoming people and an exciting array of creatures – big and small. World famous for hosting the epic Great Migration, the Masai Mara welcomes 1,5 million wildebeests onto its sprawling savannahs each July through October. The Masai Mara National Reserve and conservancies are brimming with life and offer safari travelers a wide variety of activities to choose from. Whether you take to the skies for a high-flying hot-air balloon adventure at sunrise or hit the road for a 4×4 safari, you’re sure to leave the Masai Mara with unforgettable experience.
The reserve has a magnificent collection of wildlife and it is quite possible to spot not just the ‘Big Five’ as often mentioned widely, but also in fact the ‘Big Nine’, to include the Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Giraffe, Zebra, Cheetah and Hippo. It is quite possible that due to the nature and richness of flora and fauna in the national park, one can see all of the above animals not just in a single 2-3 hour game drive, but also with a little more luck, within an hour of your drive in the reserve.
