Our Top Experiences in the Masai Mara

1. Balloon Safaris

The Mara-Serengeti plains are the perfect landscape to enjoy from up high. Unlike balloon safaris in the Serengeti which only operate from one area, the Masai Mara offers the same views with much less hassle.

To fully appreciate the magnitude of this remarkable area, and the amount of wildlife that lives off its land, head for the skies in the early morning and let the soft bursts of flame from above your head hypnotise you as you drift quietly across the plains.

There are three sites to lift off from in the Masai Mara. Our guide to the Great Migration will help you to plan your Masai Mara safari - and your hot air balloon ride - with this mass movement of animals and all the frenetic, life and death action.

2. Visit the Maasai

See the famed 'scarlet nomads' as they go about their daily lives. Entering their village you will be privy to the daily lives of a tribe who has maintained their way of life for centuries. A cultural trip into the heart of Maasai culture is a wonderful way to experience a little of Africa's diverse and ancient culture while you explore her wilderness.

3. Have a bubble-bath in the bush

Staff at your luxury lodge bring a large bathtub to your tent and pour you a hot bubble bath. Lie outside, under the stars in privacy and enjoy a hot bubble bath with a glass of wine. The perfect blend of luxury and wilderness; there are few experiences that are this luxurious and exotic.

4. Kids' wildlife education

Kids learn to play ancient tribal sports, are shown exciting bush survival techniques, and get to learn first hand about the importance of conservation in Africa's wilderness areas. The wildlife education programmes are growing in popularity and are a unique way to get your kids in touch with the wilderness.

Perhaps the most rewarding part is that they get to do all this why you enjoy game drives and lodge luxuries in peace and quiet. View our Masai Mara family safaris here.
