More About Maasai Mara Safari
The Masai Mara was established in 1961 as a monument to the Maasai tribe, the region's original occupants. In Maasai, the word "mara" means "spotted." The area is named for the short, bushy trees that give the landscape a "spotted" appearance. Kenya is a vast, beautiful, and game-rich country that has gained international recognition thanks to visits from wildlife photographers, award-winning filmmakers, A-list celebrities, royal families, and daring adventurers.
Here Are 5 Must-Do Activities During The Masai Mara Safari:
1. Hot Air Balloon Safaris
Flying in a hot air balloon above the Masai Mara plains is a truly "once in a lifetime" event. Balloon safaris, which take place at dawn, are an exciting and romantic once-in-a-lifetime adventure that is expensive but well worth it.
2. Maasai Village Visit
Without engaging with the intriguing Maasai people up close, a true cultural experience would be missing from any trip to the Masai Mara. They will welcome you inside their humble mud and stick manyattas (homesteads) and show you their rural environment and long-standing, treasured rituals.
3. Horseback Safaris
Only a few operators in the greater Mara ecosystem provide horseback safaris, which offer the allure of a beautiful, up-close experience. Imagine charging past giraffe trails, zebra dazzles, and the powerful herds of the Great Migration, if possible.
4. Bush Meals And Sundowners
Activities offered by lodges and camps include having a romantic candlelit meal in the African bush or taking in a sunset in a picturesque location. Take a drive up into the Oloololo escarpment for the most spectacular sunset views of the expansive Mara plains and, farther off, the Serengeti.
