An unforgettable experience at Masai Mara National Reserve! From breathtaking landscapes to incredible wildlife encounters, every moment felt like a scene from a nature documentary. A must-visit for anyone seeking adventure and raw beauty!"

There’s more than one word to describe the Masai Mara, but for me, ‘magical’ really sums it up. Seeing all the Big Five in their natural habitat, plus countless other animals, was an experience I’ll never forget. Watching them hunt, eat, sleep, or just go about their day was incredible. One of the highlights was having a picnic lunch in the wild! It was such a unique experience, surrounded by nature at its finest. The game drives were amazing, and the park's vastness and beauty, combined with the chance to witness such raw wildlife, made this trip absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for an adventure that feels like a dream come true, the Masai Mara is the place to be. Another unforgettable experience was visiting a Masai tribe in their village. Seeing inside their homes and learning about their way of life was amazing. The people were so welcoming, and it really gave me a deeper appreciation for their culture. However, the tricky part came when we visited their small market, where they display handmade items like earrings, necklaces, bowls, and more. When you ask for prices, they don’t give individual ones—instead, they say, "It's okay, it's okay, at the end, we’ll calculate everything." This often leads to a much higher total than expected, so be ready to negotiate. Personally, I didn’t haggle much, as I saw it as a chance to support the community, especially the children. I even gave a little extra to the chief of the tribe, who was 94 years old. It felt so rewarding and was absolutely worth it.

This huge park stretching down to the Tanzania border is the ecosystem extension of the Serengeti. If you are in Kenya to see charismatic megafauna this is one of the National Parka not to miss. Expansive grass lands filled with buffalo, elephants, antelope, lions, and hills teaming with giraphes. Well maintained dirt roads zig zag across the park and are busy with safari vehicles. Vehicles swarm animals and the animals for the most part seem to just ignore 20 pop top vehicles with hundreds of human eyes staring at them. It feels unreal at most times. I’m happy there are places the roads don’t go so animals do have the potential to escape the gaze of over eager humans. Like most of the safari parks there are few places where you’ll be able to find yourself out of a vehicle and this tends to be lookout hill and the Mara River’s picnic location. At the Mara River you can go on a short walk with a ranger to see hippos and large Nile crocodiles. The park has some accommodations in the center that tend to be pricey, so more budget friendly lodging can usually be found just outside each of the gates.

This part of Africa is amazing for its fauna in their natural habitats. We feel like intruders into their lives but we learn so much about their necessities for survival. I am generally against violence but when the hungry cat is setting up to chase its prey, the solace is that it will kill not more than one deer just enough to satisfy the hunger of its family of cats. Unlike we humans who keep fueling wars and keep killing our own species in millions without any level of satisfaction! When will we learn not to kill beyond the first prey?
