10 Bucket list things to do in the Masai Mara

Learn the difference between maasai and masai and explore the 10 bucket list things to do in the masai mara….

Masai Mara … two words that evoke the senses and inspire bucket list dreams. It is a vast, magnificent and game-filled landscape in  Kenya  that has been frequented and made famous by intrepid explorers, royal families, A-list celebrities, wildlife photographers and award-winning filmmakers. It features prominently on wanderlust travellers’ wish lists and if you haven’t witnessed it yourself, then now is the time. In addition to these 10 bucket list things to do in the  Masai Mara , we have some fantastic news that will make you want to visit even more!

Something to look forward to

In November 2017, our iconic  &Beyond Bateleur Camp , situated just below the spot where Out of Africa’s famous final scene was filmed, will be undergoing a complete rebuild and glamorous makeover. What can you look forward to? Well, the elegant safari tents will be even more spacious (we’re talking 97 m 2  of in and outdoor living), the ensuite bathrooms will be flanked by private stone courtyards, there will be spacious bathtubs as well as indoor and alfresco showers, and comfy new built-in daybeds on the private verandas will encourage idle afternoons enjoying the breathtaking Mara views.

In addition to two new swimming pools with unbeatable views, there will also be a massage sala and tranquil water feature for those seeking some pampering and solitude, and of course, a well-equipped fitness centre overlooking the Mara for those wanting to burn off some “lodge podge”.

Perhaps one of the features I’m most looking forward to experiencing is what will certainly be hailed the Mara’s best gin bar by night and coffee bar by day at South Camp. Mixing the best of both worlds!

For those of you that have visited the camp before, not to worry, the new &Beyond Bateleur Camp will retain the same authenticity, intimacy and classic Out of Africa atmosphere it is renowned for. North Camp will launch its brand new look in March 2018, with South Camp the following suit in June 2018.

Just for you

In the meantime, we have an unbeatable offer for those wanting to visit &Beyond Bateleur Camp between 15 November 2016 and 07 January 2018. Book a three-night stay and the third night is on us! For more information, contact us on  [email protected] .

What is the difference between Masai and Maasai?

Ever noticed there are two different ways to spell “Masai”? So which one is it, Masai Mara National Reserve or Maasai Mara National Reserve? For all the wanderlust travellers out there that want to be in-the-know when you set foot on the African continent – the correct answer is indeed Masai Mara. The “Maasai” are the fascinating Maa-speaking semi-nomadic people of East Africa. A famously hospitable culture, the Maasai are world renowned for their brightly coloured shukkas (traditional cloth), distinctive beaded jewellery, fearless cohabitation with the Big Five, as well as their uncanny ability to jump higher than Michael Jordan himself. You really must make time to meet the Maasai, they are incredible people. In fact, you might have already met the two wonderful  Maasai Mamas  at  &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge .

“Masai” on the other hand is the world-famous, sprawling and game-rich ecosystem that shares an unfenced border with Tanzania’s  Serengeti National Park . Also home to the  Great Migration , the Mara (which is Maa for “spotted”) is a land of breathtaking vistas, abundant wildlife and seemingly endless grassy plains that are “dotted” with Acacia trees and thorn bushes.

So, in a nutshell, “Maasai” refers to the people and “Masai” refers to the land. There is no “Maasai Mara” and when you’re in East Africa, you’ll soon see that all signs point to the “Masai Mara”. The next time you see someone (incorrectly) writing about the Maasai Mara or the Masai people, you can impart your local wisdom as an Africa fundi (our local slang for ‘expert’). And while we’re on the topic of reconnecting the magnificent Maasai with their ancient, most unforgettable land, it seems like the perfect time to share our Top 10 bucket list things to do in the Masai Mara.

1. Experience the Masai Mara on twice-daily game drives

A veritable wildlife haven blessed with a year-round, rather mind-boggling concentration of animals, the Mara certainly doesn’t disappoint. Embark on twice-daily interpretive game drives with expert rangers who will uncover the wonders of the Mara. And while we’re on the topic of reconnecting the magnificent Maasai with their ancient, most unforgettable land, it seems like the perfect time to share our Top 10 bucket list things to do in the Masai Mara.

2. Explore the open Savanna on foot

Reconnect with your spirit of adventure and follow in the footsteps of ancient explorers and local herdsmen on a once-in-a-lifetime guided walking safari. Heighten your senses without the hum of the safari vehicle … listen to the crickets, breathe the fresh air, view the limitless horizon and appreciate the African soil on the soles of your shoes.

3. Take to the skies in a hot air balloon

Awake before dawn and embark on a life-changing hot air balloon safari high above the mighty Mara plains. Soar peacefully and enjoy the magnificent bird’s eye view of all the animals below (and the Great Migration if you’re lucky). This extraordinary experience concludes with an unforgettable, hearty champagne breakfast in the middle of the Mara.

4. Mingle with the Maasai on a community visit

No journey to the Masai Mara would be complete without an authentic cultural experience that gets you up close and personal with the fascinating Maasai people. They will invite you into their humble mud and stick manyattas (homesteads) and reveal their pastoral world and ancient, time-honoured traditions.

5. Take to the saddle on a horseback safari

Like the explorers of old, this is a truly unique way to experience the Mara. Once again without the hum of the safari vehicle, it is an invigorating way to explore the vast landscape. Imagine galloping past dazzles of zebra, journeys of giraffe and, if the time is right, the mighty herds of the Great Migration. Image© Offbeat Safaris.

6. Witness the thundering hooves of the great migration

Undoubtedly one of the most dramatic spectacles of the natural world, the  Great Migration  is the annual trek of two million herbivores across the Serengeti/Mara ecosystem. Although the enormous herds of grunting gnus can be seen year-round, the world-famous, nail-biting Mara River crossings (July to October) are an absolute must for every wildlife enthusiast’s bucket list.

7. Recreate your favourite scene from Out of Africa

Out of Africa, the epic film that made the entire world fall in love with Kenya recently celebrated its 30 th  anniversary. Avid film fanatics and romantics at heart can retrace the steps of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford and visit the exact locations of some of the movie’s most famous scenes.

8. Celebrate the sunset with Maasai warriors

Drive up onto the Oloololo (which aptly means “zig-zag”) escarpment for the most unforgettable sundowners overlooking the vast Mara plains, as well as the Serengeti in the distance. As the sun gently dips over the horizon, stand around a blazing fire, complete with delicious snack and a full bar and bartender, and watch in awe as Maasai warriors perform their traditional song and dance.

9. Photograph lions in ‘Big Cat Diary’ territory

The Masai Mara boasts one of the highest lion densities in the world, so it should come as no surprise that the world-famous nature documentary, Big Cat Diary, is filmed in the Mara. Set out in search of the legendary Marsh pride and the beloved, oh-so photogenic, Scarface himself. Image © Timur Türker.

10. Dust off your lens & perfect your photography skills

Be the envy of the Mara in one of our state-of-the-art, fully-customised photographic safari vehicles (check them out  here ). They boast unobstructed views, 360° degree swivel chairs, a fully-stocked personal bar and air conditioning – this is the ultimate photographic experience and the wildlife certainly plays its part as photographic subjects.

What our guests say about Jayson

March 28, 2024
A superb experience
Dear Jayson, You are a star. The very professional pieces of advice and the optimal design of the schedule that turned our holidays into an extraordinary experience. Thank you so much! Leopard Hills are indeed the boutique luxury camp that you recommended. People there are incredible friendly and knowledgable. The guide was excellent. And the cook, she was a friendly star too. The flight connections went well, despite that rather long drive, and the very early morning start. Wake up calls at 4 AM should be forbidden :) Mauritius was great, Club Med The Plantation Albion was the perfect choice. (The other Club Med @ Cannonier we visited only and were glad we didn’t chose that one…) Thank you again for the superb organisation.
January 23, 2024
First organized trip to Africa.
Booking an entire trip is a new experience for us. Our first contact with Shamiel was pleasant and wanted to know what we wanted out of the entire experience.

Helpful, easy and fast communication
Experienced a double booking
Before payment, we experienced an issue of double booking, where suddenly our chosen lodging is only available for 2 out of 4 days. I hope Safari.com can improve their system to avoid this in the future. While it will be an inconvenience on our part to have to move lodging half way, we also understand the high demand of the lodging as we make the booking just 5 months before departure. I really appreciate Nelia's quick action informing us and providing an alternative plan which works for us. Overall it was quite a smooth booking process.
Safari.com was helpful start to finish
Safari.com was helpful start to finish. The sign up process was clear, the support was great as we tailored our experience. Directions were perfect to get there. Everything in the safari was as we thought it would be and even better. It literally was the trip of a lifetime and exceeded our expectations.

This ultra-luxury safari lodge will debut in the serengeti in june 2024.

  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

With prime safari season fast approaching, a show-stopping lodge in Tanzania is gearing up to welcome guests this June, as it sets a new standard for luxury in a relatively untouched corner of one of Africa’s most iconic destinations.

One Nature Mara River Lodge promises an extraordinary safari experience amidst the gorgeously untamed beauty of the Northern Serengeti, a less-traveled part of the park wedged between the Central Serengeti to the south and Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve to the north.

The seven villas at One Nature Mara River Lodge, set to open in June of this year, all feature ... [+] heated pools, outdoor copper bathtubs, and dazzling views of the Serengeti.

Its hilltop perch, located just over a mile from the Mara River and a 30-minute drive from the Kogatende Airstrip, affords guests stunning views of the entire Mara Triangle–one of the premier viewing locations for the Great Migration, where seemingly endless herds of wildebeest and zebra enter and exit the Maasai Mara National Reserve from Serengeti National Park from June to November–while also offering complete privacy from the hundreds of vehicles that line the riverbank during one of the natural world’s most incredible annual spectacles.

The new One Nature Mara River Lodge offers guests a front-row seat to the Great Migration, during ... [+] which some two million wildebeest and zebra migrate annually from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to the greener pastures of the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.

Guests of the property will witness the thrilling Great Migration river crossings to Kenya from One Nature Mara River’s open 4- and 6-seater vehicles. Besides year-round safari game drives, other activities include balloon safaris, walking safaris, enchanting riverside sundowners and picnics, and singular bush dining experiences.

Apple quietly adds free performance upgrade for all iphone 12 users, jerry seinfeld s new netflix movie looks great except for one thing.

The lodge's seven luxury villas also boast woodburning stoves, private bars, and TK TK.

One Nature Mara River Lodge’s six one-bedroom villas and and sprawling two-bedroom family villa–measuring more than 1,625 square feet and 3,100 square feet, respectively–showcase a contemporary colonial design accented with African elements, and feature private heated pools with panoramic views of the Serengeti, outdoor lounge areas, indoor and outdoor showers, and copper bathtubs. Other creature comforts include eco-friendly engineered wood flooring, solar-powered air conditioners, wood-burning stoves, and private bars. The lodge’s enviable privacy is among its most vital aspects, as the rooms’ outdoor bathtubs, showers, and private pools face the awe-inspiring river view.

During the Great Migration, thousands of wildebeest migrate through the vast plains of Serengeti ... [+] National Park, which was created In 1951 to protect the area's large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle.

In keeping with One Nature’s sustainability ethos, the lodge–powered by a 352-panel solar farm–has been built to ensure that it can be disassembled and removed without leaving a trace. All wood throughout is FSC-certified, while an on-site bio-gas plant transforms food waste into cooking gas to optimize energy efficiency and minimize waste. The property also eschews plastic consumables, replacing them with customized glass water bottles, paper straws, bamboo toothbrushes and razors, and boxes, paper, and pencils made from recycled and biodegradable materials.

The opening marks the launch of One Nature’s second property, following the debut of the 14-tent One Nature Nyaruswiga , located in the Central Serengeti, in January 2017. The company was founded by Dubai-based husband-and-wife team, Hani and Pamela Saliba, whose first African safari in 2014 cast a life-changing spell.

“Love is an understatement,” says Pamela, One Nature’s executive director, who oversees lodge operations. “We found ourselves drawn back repeatedly, traveling to national parks across Africa. The experience sparked a dream to create a sanctuary of our own, where we could bring together family and friends. That dream brought One Nature Nyaruswiga–which we made our personal haven–to life. Perhaps that’s why many of our guests remark that the lodge feels like a home away from home.”

The lodge's main lounge is a cozy gathering place to enjoy cocktails while sharing stories of safari ... [+] adventures in the Northern Serengeti.

One Nature’s future expansion plans include properties in Queen Elizabeth National Park and Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda, Sossusvlei and Etosha National Park in Namibia, and Yala National Park in Sri Lanka.

Rates at One Nature Mara River Lodge start at $1653 in mid-season and $2240 in high season, per person per night, inclusive of all meals and beverages (including premium wines and spirits), wifi, laundry, daily game drives, and round-trip transfers from the Kogatende Airstrip.

Waterside By Royal Malewane , South Africa

waterside lodge at royal malawane thornybush reserve

Entering one of Royal Portfolio’s hotels or lodges, you may well wonder whatever happened to classic safari khaki. Each interior is an exuberant collage of colors, textures, and contemporary African art handpicked by co-owner Liz Biden, whose design motto could well be “Let us entertain you.” The Waterside camp, on a large watering hole in Greater Kruger National Park’s private, game-rich Thornybush Reserve, may have clawfoot bathtubs in fire engine–red (and blue, and yellow), but Biden and her husband Phil aren’t playing around with what truly matters in the bush: their invariably crème-de-la-crème trackers and guides. —Klara Glowczewska

andBeyond Phinda Forest Lodge, South Africa

suite bathroom in andbeyond's phinda forest lodge

One of Africa's first luxury safari lodges designed with eco-tourism front and center—seriously dedicated not just to turning a profit but also to supporting the environment, the wildlife, and the surrounding communities—just got a total makeover and is as beautiful to behold as it is elevating to experience. Located in the rare "sand forest" of Phinda Private Game Reserve ( ancient trees growing in sandy soil) in the province of KwaZulu Natal, its 12 stand-alone suites and public areas are have what can be described as a timeless Zulu-Zen style: organic minimalism (lots of wood and grasses) combined with the elegance of traditional Zulu craftsmanship. Pair the pampering (new pool, gym, spa, giant-birds-nest of a firepit, boma, restaurant, and bar) with the Big Five (or Six, or Seven, if you add a day trip to the beaches of the Indian Ocean) and you've got the safari of your dreams: close wildlife encounters (via vehicle, e-bike, or on foot, with expert guides), as well as participation in wildlife research projects with &Beyond's conservation team and visits to nearby Zulu communities with its partner organization, Africa Foundation. It's top level.

Loapi Tented Camp Tswalu, South Africa

These six safari “homes” of glass, steel, and canvas are your entree into another world: a vast stretch of the Kalahari desert being “re-wilded” by the diamond-mine-owning Oppenheimer family. The landscapes are staggering, the comforts total (a restaurant by a Michelin-starred chef, private butlers and trackers), and the experiences extraordinary: Loapi Tented Camp gives you the bush at its rawest, rock art, rhinos, and, if you’re lucky, the elusive, entrancing pangolins.

Angama Amboseli, Kenya

guest lounge at angama amboseli safari lodge, kenya masai mara

Talk about sense of place. In this 10-suite lodge from safari royalty Nicky Fitzgerald and her daughter Kate Fitzgerald Boyd (on a Masai-owned conservancy adjacent to elephant-rich Amboseli National Park), you’ll see snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro from everywhere, even reflected in the mirror behind your vanity. Bravo, too, to the Angama Amboseli's contemporary concrete, stone, and canvas aesthetic: as refreshing (no colonial vibe) as the sundowners.

A safari you can get with your Bonvoy points? Well, yes. No design envelopes are being pushed at the but it’s all an airy, surprising pleasure: A lounge, dining area, and firepit around a giant fig tree; pool and spa; and 20 well-appointed, roomy suites—a medley of neutrals and African decorative objects—along the Talek River. The piece de resistance: savanna sundowners under a lone acacia tree, glistening ice-buckets and all, staffed by red-clad Masai, whose families own this magnificent, Out of Africa land.

Shinta Mani Mustang, Nepal

suite at shinta mani mustang, nepal

This stone-and-wood fortresslike structure with floor to ceiling windows atop a high Himalayan escarpment is the first luxury outpost in this remote and staggeringly beautiful region bordering on the Tibetan plateau. Designed by Bill Bensley, the impresario of remote Asian hotels, Shinta Mani Mustang offers a long menu of guided activities (such as hikes and rides to nearby villages, monasteries, and lakes); a wellness center run by a seasoned practitioner of Tibetan medicine; and huge terrace firepits, the perfect spot to be hypnotized by the play of light on the snow-capped peaks of the world’s highest mountains.

Southern Ocean Lodge, Australia

southern ocean lodge kangaroo island australia pool lounge

One-hundred-mile long Kangaroo Island has been dubbed Australia’s Galapagos for the abundance of its protected wildlife (birds of every feather, sea lions, seals, koalas, wallabies, a breed of kangaroo that evolved only here, and more). Southern Ocean Lodge , its premier place to stay (and one of the first Luxury Lodges of Australia ), burned down in 2020 during the country’s catastrophic “black summer” wildfires and is finally back after a $36 million rebuild by its original architect, Max Pritchard. And better than ever.Poised atop Kangaroo Island’s dramatic limestone clifftops it resembles from the outside a long, low-flying saucer (the great room) with a long train (the 25 suites). Inside, it’s all curvy, cream-colored, glass-wrapped Midcentury Modern, designed to optimize those last-stop-before-Antarctica views over the Southern Ocean.

Puqio, Peru

puqio tented camp peru

The rugged Colca Canyon area, with its pre-Inca-descended inhabitants and Spanish colonial towns, has something completely new: Peru’s first African-style tented camp. The artwork and materials at Puqio are local, of course, and the suites have private terraces, wood-burning stoves, and outdoor tubs from which you can watch Andean condors circle in the sky. The camp provides another high-end alternative to the nearby Las Casitas, a Belmond property, though the approach here is very different—stylish but simple accommodations are paired with cultural, gastronomic, and adventure activities.
