Apart from the daily Game Drives there are some other unforgettable experience's that everybody should do while on luxury safari holiday in kenya.
The best Masai Mara safari should be accompanied by the following top experiences:
Hot air balloon ride over masai mara
Nothing is more spectacular than launching at sunrise and floating effortlessly in a Hot Air Balloon over the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve is the ultimate ballooning destination. The landscape is stunning and free, and the abundant wildlife can make for spectacular viewings from above. As this is a wilderness area contiguous with the Serengeti National Park of Tanzania, with free-ranging wildlife that is not fenced in,.
You can typically see a good diversity of animals, and it is likely you will spot elephants, giraffes, various antelope species, and ostriches from the balloon. Many of our guests also see hyenas, lions, and cheetahs, and ballooning is one of the best ways to search for the elusive black rhino, of which there are less than 40 in the Mara. Depending on the day’s flight path, you may also drift along one of the rivers and see hippos and crocodiles.
VISIT TO AN AUTHENTIC MASAI VILLAGE
A visit to the Masai village is a big highlight to your safari holiday. The Maasai people are well known for their brightly coloured shukas (affectionately known as the “African blanket” ) which protects them from the harsh weather and terrain of the savannah.
The main activity of the Maasai people has always been raising cattle, but the Maasai have also been known centuries as fearsome hunters and warriors.
horse riding safari
Kenya is exactly the place where horse back Safari's were first invented in the 1970's.
Sitting on the horseback is indeed a phenomenal way to discover the beauty of Masai Mara’s surrounding outback. Mara reserve never fails to deliver outstanding wildlife viewing from the horseback, be it amazing giraffes fighting, lions mating, elephants wallowing in a mud bath, or a cheetah hanging out lazily under a tree. There is probably no better way to feel savannahs, streams, rivers, and plains than from the back of a well-schooled and fit horse.
safari bush breakfast
We all had fried eggs before. Thats true. However, how many people do you know who had fried eggs in a middle of African savannah while a pride of lions enjoy their pray in the bush nearby? I guess not many !
Travel enthusiasts say that Breakfast never tastes so good as it does on the Mara plains. Masai Mara allows you to have a luxurious bush breakfast amidst the fascination and sheer magnificence of its wildlife. With fruits, patisserie, and cereals, and your private team of chefs will be on hand to cook the full English Breakfast of your choice. Eating your meal in the raw wilderness of the savannah before going to your early morning game drive is a leisurely experience that you can’t miss.
The breakfast is usually set up on the picturesque savannah plains of the Mara, typically under the shade of a single balanite tree.
Walking with white rhinos
Walking with Rhinos is something that will stay with you forever. As scary as they might look, white rhinos are gentle giants when left alone. The spend most of their time grazing and minding their own business.
While being completely wild animals, white rhinos in Kenya are under the supervision of humans responsible for their wellbeing. You will get a chance to meet them up close yet undisturbed in their natural habitat.
Fact: Mara is also home to just three to four white rhino last in the world!
Safari On Foot
After taking briefing from your guides, you’re all ready to set your feet on the plains of Masai Mara. Safar on foot is a unique experience and an excellent way to explore the remote corners of Masai Mara. Walking safaris is a fantastic option if you want to make your safari experience memorable by getting in touch with the natural world.
The Masai Mara is renowned for its abundance of wildlife. You’ll see patches of the forest, but mainly time is spent on the grassy plains. Trust me; no Masai Mara trip is truly complete without taking it all in what the reserve’s wilderness has to offer, and The Wild Travel Company will take you there.
