A Masai Mara luxury safari will vault you and your loved ones into a world of splendour, opulence and breathtaking natural beauty surrounded by the most incredible wildlife Africa has to offer.

The continent’s finest lodges await, each offering something a little different, with exquisite old-country designs and all modern comforts.

Your neighbours will largely consist of elephants, hippos, and giraffes and more whilst you sip a sundowner cocktail on your veranda wooden walkway toasting the African sunset.

The best Masai Mara luxury safari tours

How to organise a luxury safari in masai mara, pre-trip planning.

To organise your luxury safari in Masai Mara , the recommended route is to hire a travel agency specialising in Kenya safaris.

Their expertise of the top luxury lodges, tours and logistics required will be of significant benefit to guests. Trips can also be customised per the customers requirements or requests for particular activities.

Access to Masai Mara is typically made via flying from Nairobi Wilson Airport (WIL). From here it is a short (between 45 and 60 minutes) flight to the Mara. Travellers can also fly from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) in Nairobi for visitors wondering how to get to Kenya .

NBO airport is located 15km/9mi southeast of Nairobi and a Kenya visa will most likely be required to enter the country.

There are also many airstrips surrounding the reserve, but where you fly into will depend on where you are staying during your safari. Visitors often combine trips to Masai Mara with Amboseli National Park and Tsavo East

Carrying a small amount of Kenyan currency , the Kenya Shilling (KES) is recommended to pay for groceries and smaller items where credit cards aren’t accepted. Visitors can also review further details on overall Kenya safari prices here.

Luxury safari components

Potential visitors are advised to detail their wish list in terms of accommodation, activities, preferred means of transport and food requirements, as these can vary significantly depending on preferences and budget.

The travel agency will then be able to provide a more detailed estimate.

Chartered flights are often used to arrive at different parts of Masai Mara and will save the visitor a lot of time. Various safari types can be explored in 4 × 4 vehicles with a private guide.

For a luxury trip to Masai Mara, some visitors prefer the tranquillity of private reserves with a hot-air balloon safari or they may prefer concessions with more adrenaline packed activities including quad biking and white water rafting activities.

Lastly, choosing the right accommodation for you is what will make your safari an unforgettable luxurious experience. In this regard, Kenya has some of the most exceptional lodges in the world making your stay unforgettable.

Top 10 Masai Mara Luxury Safari Lodges & Camps

Masai Mara is home to some of the continent’s most beautiful reserves and luxury lodges, offering magnificent food, service, wildlife and scenic views to match.

Richard’s River Camp

Richard’s River Camp offers the discerning traveller a luxury tented camp in the very heart of the Masai Mara. Designed with privacy, exclusivity as well as adventure in mind we ensure a warm and memorable safari.

The Ngoyanai springs provide permanent water, drawing in large numbers of animals to the area around the camp. This camp is also particularly known for its resident lion pride which can often be seen hunting in front of the camp, and often herd roaring at night.

Warm, professional hosting will have you feeling relaxed and spoiled from the moment you arrive with delicious food, Bush breakfasts, sundowners and dinner under the stars made for some memorable moments.

The camp itself is comfortable and beautifully furnished and tents are generous with strong, hot showers inside and out. Bush sounds at night add to the adventure with lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and hippos nearby.

Amani Mara Camp

Amani Mara Camp in Olare Orok just northeast of the reserve has an African feel with stone-and-canvas rooms and earthy hues. Your private deck is the ideal place to soak up the expansive view and keep an eye out for animals on the plains.

Cool off in the heat of the day at the camp’s swimming pool or watch hippo and crocodile in the river. Enjoy a bush breakfast or lunch made with fresh produce from the camp’s organic gardens.

Wherever you go in the Mara there’s a profusion of wildlife on the rolling plains. Your game drives will be filled with thrills and action. Go on a night drive to spot nocturnal species such as leopard, lion, spotted hyena, porcupine and civet.

Angama Mara

Surely one of the most beautiful of the Masai Mara safari lodges must be Angama Mara. The name is inspired by the Swahili word for ‘suspended in the air’, given that it hangs high above the plains of the Mara Triangle.

The glass-fronted luxury tents look out over landscapes speckled with animals and spiny Balanites aegyptiaca trees.

Go on a game drive to make the most of the Mara’s exciting wildlife experiences. Don’t miss floating in a hot-air balloon over the winding Mara River at daybreak to watch wildlife far below.

Head out on a bush walk with a Maasai guide or visit a Maasai village to learn about their fascinating culture. Enjoy a massage on your deck and dinner under a canopy of stars. Have a dreamy picnic on the hill where scenes from the Out of Africa (1985) movie were shot.

Emboo River

If glamping and eco-friendliness are important to you when you book your Masai Mara safari camps, you’ll love Emboo River. Your tent at this luxury sustainable camp has a view of the Talek River and a rain shower in the bathroom.

There’s a natural pool that uses local wetland plants to filter the water (no chemicals). Become part of nature on your private terrace as you watch hippo laze in the river or elephant come to drink.

When the great migration of wildebeest and zebra marches through the Mara, you may see a crossing at the river right next to camp.

Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

In a private concession bordering the Masai Mara you’ll find the elegant Kitchwa Tembo Tented Camp. Laid out in a patch of forest along the Sabaringo River on the edge of the Oloololo escarpment, it has sweeping views of the plains.

Relax and unwind in spaces infused with romance and contemporary African style. Let the large windows invite the outside in.

Watch as warthog feed outside your luxury tent. Take a dip in the rim-flow pool with its wide views of the Mara. Enjoy a soothing massage. Float in a hot-air balloon above the horseshoe bends of the Mara River.

Watch a river crossing during the great migration. Fuel your wildlife passion with game drives and guided nature walks. For a change of pace, interact with the local Maasai through talks and dancing.

Porini Lion Camp

Head out on thrice-daily game drives from this superb Masai Mara lodging situated in the private Olare Motogori Conservancy, renowned for its superb big cat sightings.

Return to the authentic Porini Lion Camp in time for a refreshing cocktail while being entertained by the boisterous hippos in the adjacent Ntiakatiak River.

Sand River Masai Mara

Wake up to the sounds of the African bush and slowly make your way out of a snug 4-poster bed.

Saunter across your spacious tent’s polished hardwood floors, step out onto a private veranda and be greeted by the gorgeous morning vista of the Sand River and its rolling flood plains.

Topi Mara Bush House

Sink into a comfortable armchair on the veranda right outside your room, observing elephant and giraffe amble by.

Or stretch out on this luxury Masai Mara lodge’s lush lawns with a tipple and a good book under the shady canopy of an acacia tree. Don’t forget to chat to your chef about your next delicious meal.

Saruni Mara

Journey to the community-focused Saruni Mara, hidden in a secret valley of olive and cedar trees. Settle into your luxurious cottage boasting antiques, Persian carpets and wide cedarwood beds.

Join Maasai warriors on a guided bush walk to explore the surrounding hills, followed by a relaxing spa treatment in the tranquil Maasai Wellbeing Space. This is one of the best Masai Mara lodges for discerning travellers.

Mahali Mzuri

Another one of the spectacular Masai Mara safari lodges is Sir Richard Branson’s luxury Mahali Mzuri in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy of the Greater Mara. The name means ‘beautiful place’ and it’s everything you’d expect.

The tents have an unusual custom design, each with an expansive view from a private deck. Add a romantic freestanding bath (also with a view), candlelight dinner for two under the stars, rim-flow swimming pool and champagne picnics.

The lodge’s position gives you front-row seats to spectacular wildlife sightings year-round. This includes during the great migration from July to November, depending on climatic conditions.

Drink in the dramatic scenery and experience the thrill of watching elephant, lion, leopard, giraffe and plains wildlife. It’s hard to beat the buzz of a game drive but make time to visit a Maasai village to learn about their pastoralist culture.

Driving to the Fairmont Mara Safai Club was intimidating because of the rough roads, but once inside the gates it was an oasis of luxury!

This was a repeat trip , I am actually not able to tell the difference between the last visit and this one , but been a repeat guest I expected better/improved services since the last time I visited was years back . But we don’t have complains . It’s just human nature to expect improvement. We expected some few guards around the hotel to walk guest to their rooms at night . Some guest come from quiet places and considering it’s park we are meant to be scared walking alone along the walkways , it’s just nice to ask if one needed to be escorted to their cottages . Thank you .

ITINERARY - 7 Days

The masai mara national reserve.

Masai Mara, named after its ancestral habitats, holds cultural significance, with the word ‘Masai’ representing the indigenous tribe residing within the park. The term ‘Mara’ translates to ‘spotted’ in Swahili, depicting the park’s landscape adorned with acacia trees and thorn bushes, set within the breathtaking backdrop of the Great Rift Valley.

Situated in southwestern Kenya near the Tanzanian border, Masai Mara is adjacent to Serengeti National Park, with Masai villages dotting the surrounding area.

Two rivers, the Mara and the Talek, traverse the park, enhancing the scenic beauty of its grassy plains and rolling hills. The unique landscape, marked by circles of trees, savannas, and intriguing cloud shadows, provides a captivating view during a Masai Mara tour.

Exploring Masai Mara unveils a land filled with abundant wildlife, offering a truly immersive experience within this remarkable ecosystem.

The park’s location and diverse topography make it an ideal destination for those seeking both natural beauty and adventurous activities through tailored Masai Mara tour packages.

Unveiling Masai Mara’s Wildlife through Our Tour Packages

Also known as Masai Mara National Park , this biodiverse haven boasts a rich variety of animal species. Begin on Masai Mara tour packages, offers the chance to witness the African Big Five, with lion prides and herds of elephants making frequent appearances.

Leopards can be observed napping on trees, while Cape Buffalos are abundant in the Mara.

Spread across the park, various animals contribute to its diverse ecosystem. Iconic species like cheetahs roam the Mara, alongside giraffes, zebras, and thousands of grazing wildebeests. The river hosts pods of hippopotamuses, with crocodiles on the lookout for their next prey.

The Mara’s fame extends to its collection of rare animals, including sightings of the elusive black rhino during safaris. Endangered species of antelopes, along with the Grevy’s zebra, find a home in the Mara, making it a truly exceptional destination for wildlife enthusiasts exploring Masai Mara tour packages.

Masai Mara’s Birdlife Exploration with Our Tour Packages

Kenya stands as an excellent destination for birders, offering vibrant avifauna sightings. Bird-watchers exploring Masai Mara tour packages can delight in spotting a diverse range of birdlife, including migratory and endemic species.

Masai Mara, alone, boasts a remarkable record of over 500 bird species, encompassing raptors, making bird watching a common feature in Masai Mara tours.

bird watching during masai mara tour packages

The national bird of Kenya, the lilac-breasted roller, is a notable sighting during a Masai Mara tour. The Mara is also home to ground hornbills, while secretary birds add to the park’s avian fame.

The grasslands host various birds, such as Kori bustards and white storks, while swamplands offer sightings of different heron species.

River areas feature kingfishers and turaco, adding to the diverse birdlife of the Mara. Notably, the birds of prey, including the iconic Bateleur, soar across the clear blue skies.

Our Masai Mara tour remains an unforgettable experience, as this destination is a year-round haven for game viewing, with its rich wildlife and birdlife available for spotting at any time of the year.

The Wildebeest Migration

The great migration, also known as the wildebeest migration, is a spectacular wildlife event, considered unparalleled in its grandeur. This never-seen-before phenomenon is the most celebrated experience, exclusively witnessed during Masai Mara tour packages.

This incredible journey involves thousands of wildebeests, accompanied by other hoofed animals such as gazelles and zebras. Originating from Tanzania’s Serengeti, the migration concludes in the Mara towards the end of the year, spanning across two countries.

Driven by the search for food and water, the wildebeests undertake this annual migration, facing various dangers along the way. Predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, lurk from both parks, resulting in dramatic chases and actions.

A significant highlight includes river crossings, particularly near the Mara River, where migratory animals attempt to traverse its waters. This perilous journey becomes a real-life spectacle during a Masai Mara tour, featuring live river crossings.

Beyond its grandeur, the migration offers an emotional experience, showcasing the survival of the fittest. For those seeking to witness this awe-inspiring event, booking Masai Mara tour packages during the migration season is the key to unlocking this remarkable natural phenomenon.

The migration unfolds in both Serengeti and the Mara. However, for the ultimate experience, Kenya Masai Mara stands as the prime location. Travelers enjoy enhanced chances of witnessing this extraordinary event here, thanks to better accessibility compared to Serengeti and a more concentrated route. Plan your Masai Mara tour around this captivating migration.

Timeline of the Migration

There is no fixed schedule for the migration. It occurs according to the climate. The availability of pasture also affects it. One cannot predict the exact migration days. Travelers must always plan an extended Masai Mara tour.

A general timetable is available for the migration. It offers a rough timeline of the events. It takes place according to months.

January to March

In January, the herds start moving. They are joined by other plain animals. Calving season begins in February. One can see the birth of around 8000 wildebeests in a day.

The adults train the younger calves for the journey. This season oversees dramatic killings. Hyenas and wild dogs often follow the herds. One can spot hungry lions leopards and cheetahs.

Rain starts pouring in March. The animals stop grazing across Serengeti. They start heading towards the west.

April to May

Long rains take place in April and May. These months face heaving flooding. This makes it harder to spot herds. The herds reach central Serengeti by the end of May.

June to Mid July

The animals are seen in the Seronera valley. They move into the western corridor. The first river crossing takes place. The animals have to cross the Grumeti River. Those who make it alive across the Serengeti border. They enter the Maasai Mara.

Late July to October

The animals have to cross another deadly river. This time it is the Mara River. It has dangerous Nile Crocodiles.

November to December

These months observe short rains. The Mara is green and luscious. It transforms into a beautiful landscape. The herds disperse into shorter groups. They enjoy ample grazing.

Once the mara grass diminishes, they return to Serengeti. They begin the calving season. The annual migration starts all over again.

When to see the Migration?

Kenya’s seasons are dynamic. There is no fixed timeline for the migration. One can plan the trip according to the animals’ movements. The peak months are from June to October. The herds enter the Mara during these months. The Mara River crossing can also be witnessed.

Private Conservancies

The Mara conservancies aim to protect the park. Within each conservancy lies exclusive accommodation. They offer private access to safaris. Here a range of activities can be enjoyed.

These include night game drives. It also allows off-road game drives. The conservancies restrict the number of guests. This allows for more room. Not many tourist crowds are spotted either.

All of this contributes to a luxury African safari. Less crowd means one can enjoy a safari smoothly. The conservancies have stunning scenery. Lodges and tented camps are built strategically.

There are many private conservancies in the park. These include the famous Mara Naboisho. It is the second-largest conservancy in the Mara. Olare Motoragi is also popular. One can also stay in Ol Kinyei and Mara Triangle.

AndBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp

The Masai Mara National Park is one of the world’s greatest safari destinations, sharing unfenced borders with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania , and encompassing endless rolling plains, breathtaking scenery, and an abundance of wildlife. The Mara offers unrivalled views of the world’s greatest migration - a wildlife spectacle of over 1.5 million wildebeest moving in a circular direction between Kenya and Tanzania in search of grasslands that have sprouted after the rain. Crossing the Mara River is part of their journey and is a sight to behold as distressed herds attempt to get across the crocodile-infested waters. Visitors also have the rare opportunity of interacting with the Maasai people, learning about their century-old traditions and bush survival skills.

The Masai Mara is phenomenal all year round and offers exciting game drives, bush walks, hot air balloon safaris, and a selection of luxury and tented accommodations.

Each year the Masai Mara National Reserve is visited by thousands of tourists who come here to watch the exceptional population of game and the annual migration of zebra and wildebeest. The “Great Migration” takes place every year from July to October when millions of wildebeest and zebra migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania.

Shann was beyond amazing
Shann was beyond amazing. Listened to our needs, communicated super-efficiently and gave really honest excellent advice. She was so patient, kind and professional. The time difference across the globe made no difference. I am so excited for the itinerary she has put together. I usually cobble my own itinerary together for our holidays and it’s so time consuming and hard work. This was a piece of cake! Thank you Shann.
Great planning and service
Great planning and service, and everything worked like clockwork. We booked an Inyari Lodge safari with air with Safari.com. it wasn't clear if there will be 2 or three of us, so with Candis' help we booked a family chalet for 2 and added the third later when it was confirmed he can come. Candis put us on flights that maximized our game drive time (unlike some of the other guests) so we got all 6 drives in 3 nights. The lodge was great. Especially the game drives. We saw more than we hoped for. Additionally, Safari.com's insurance was very competitive. Highly recommended.

Fantastic travel agent for African safari family trip!
Wow! Shann was and is fantastic! She figured out a way to make our entire trip work. We are going on a 2 week trip to South Africa and Botswana. She really helped tie it all together as a wonderful, cohesive trip. She is super nice and super smart and very knowledgeable. She is also flexible and thoughtful, etc., etc. When the chips were down (and we literally were considering pulling the plug on the whole trip), she found a way to make the entire itinerary work and got us excited about our wonderful adventure! Highly recommend!

3 Days Masai Mara Luxury Safari Tour

This short Kenya Wildlife Safari takes you directly from Nairobi to the Masai Mara ecosystem, avoiding long drives on rough roads. You will spend two nights at an intimate and authentic tented camp within the Ol Kinyei Conservancy and will visit two private conservancies in Greater Mara.

The Masai Mara Fly-in Tented Camp is located in the Masai Mara National Reserve . Safari provides an exclusive game viewing experience in one of Africa’s most pristine wildlife areas. You escape the crowds by going on open-sided 4×4 game drives with experienced Maasai guides in the private Ol Kinyei and Naboisho Conservancies.

Take a sunset game drive, stopping for sundowners in the pristine African bush, and on the final morning, go on an exciting bush walk with Maasai guides before flying back to Nairobi.

DETAILED ITINERARY

DAY 1: Nairobi to Masai Mara National Reserve

This fantastic Masai Mara Fly-in Safari departs from Wilson Airport in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city. At 10 a.m., we board a scheduled flight to the Ol Seki Airstrip near Masai Mara National Reserve.

When you arrive at around 11h00, you are met by the camp’s driver and transferred to the tented camp within the exclusive Ol Kinyei Conservancy. En route to camp, we stop at Ol Kinyei Conservancy for our first game viewing.

The private conservancy is well-known for its high concentration and diversity of wildlife, so expect some spectacular sightings. Set up camp and eat a hearty lunch before heading out on a sunset game drive later this afternoon.

Exploring the private Ol Kinyei Conservancy in 4×4 safari vehicles with professional guides immerses you in the African bush from the start, allowing you to experience the sights, sounds, and smells up close.

We stop for sundowners in the untamed wilderness along the way, taking in the scenery as the sky comes alive with glowing colours. As the day fades into night and the nocturnal creatures begin to stir, we make our way back to camp after sunset. Back at the tranquil tented camp, we eat dinner and spend the rest of the evening relaxing in the natural bush setting.

Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari

Lion in Masai Mara

Day 2: Masai Mara National Reserve

We awoke this morning in the heart of the unspoiled African bush, ready for a full day of game viewing in the private conservancy areas surrounding Masai Mara National Reserve. The conservancies of Ol Kinyei and Naboisho provide a more exclusive safari experience than the national park, which is open to the public.

We are unlikely to encounter other safari vehicles out in the bush, which is a real treat in the Mara ecosystem, which is a popular safari destination. Both of these private conservancies in the greater Masai Mara are teeming with wildlife, including four of Africa’s Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalos, and leopards.

During certain times of the year, the Great Wildebeest Migration and a second Wildebeest Migration pass through the conservancies.

The Mara region is also known for its big cats, which include cheetahs, leopards, and lions, as well as African wild cats, servals, and caracals. Naboisho is home to some of the world’s largest lion pride, with one of the highest lion densities.

Look for giraffes, wildebeest, zebras, and a variety of antelope species, as well as rare wild dogs, jackals, and bat-eared foxes. The knowledgeable Masai guides who accompany you on your game drives are skilled at locating the wild animals of Mara and can tell you more about the incredible flora and fauna encountered.

Masai Mara & Lake Nakuru Safari

Kenya Masai mara safari

DAY 3: Masai Mara to Nairobi – Kenya

On your final day in Greater Mara, wake up bright and early at the peaceful camp surrounded by the near-pristine environment of Ol Kinyei Conservancy. In Greater Mara, we shall go on a bush walk or a 4×4 game drive.

Depending on the conditions, our Maasai guide leads you back into Ol Kinyei or Naboisho Conservancy on foot or in the open-sided safari vehicle.

We return to the tented camp for a delicious breakfast after our final game-viewing adventure . Then it’s time to pack up and head back to the Ol Seki Naboisho Airstrip, leaving the wild Ol Kinyei Conservancy in the dust.

How To Spend 3 Days In Masai Mara, The Safari Park From The Lion King

This Kenyan national park is one of the best places in the world to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs in the wild.

masai mara luxury tour

When it comes to planning an African safari , TikTok can agree on one thing: Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya needs to be on your itinerary.

“The Land of the Big Cats” has a reputation as one of the best places on the continent to see lions, leopards, and cheetahs in the wild; it was one of the main filming locations of the live-action Lion King movie .

Masai Mara’s location in the Great Rift Valley gives it a leg up on wildlife diversity compared to other reserves. Its 580 miles of lush savannah is home to almost 90 different mammal species, and safari-goers have a good chance of spotting all of the African “Big Five” — lions, leopards, elephants, African buffalo, and the elusive black rhinos — as well as members of the slightly lesser-known (but equally ‘Gram-worthy) so-called “Ugly Five,” hyenas and warthogs included. If you visit in late summer, you might even see the Great Migration of over 2 million wildebeests, zebras, and other herbivores crossing the Mara River from the neighboring Serengeti Desert.

This February, I spent 10 days visiting Kenya’s national parks and game reserves on an itinerary curated by EF Ultimate Break , a Gen Z and millennial tour company. After a week of bush glamping in sparsely vegetated and dusty parks throughout Kenya, Masai Mara was comparatively lush, and my safari Jeep was constantly stumbling upon families of elephants, giraffes, and lions.

If you’re heading to Kenya on safari soon or scrolling TikTok for future inspiration , here’s what’s worth doing at Masai Mara and how to spend three days at the reserve.

What To Do At Masai Mara

Day 1: hang out with baby elephants & meet the maasai tribe.

After a 20-plus-hour journey from Chicago, I stretched my legs at one of Nairobi’s most popular attractions. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Orphans Project houses baby elephants and rhinos who are currently unable to survive in the wild for whatever reason, and it’s just as cute as you’d expect. There was a collective “aw” as the tiniest baby black rhino stumbled out to meet the crowd, and we got introduced to all the baby elephants as they clumsily ran to the keepers for their bottles of milk.

The experience was more crowded and touristy than I expected, but I enjoyed learning the story behind each baby animal, seeing their personalities, and petting them. You’re also able to sponsor one of the baby elephants or rhinos until they’re ready to go back into the wild.

One must-see in Masai Mara: the baby elephants.

After hanging out with the animals, get into your safari Jeep to drive the five hours to Masai Mara. I stayed at PrideInn Mara Camp, which had glamping tents and cottages just steps from the park and Lake Talek, but there are plenty of accommodations around Masai Mara’s perimeter (including regular hotels like a JW Marriott Masai Mara if sleeping in a tent without air conditioning isn’t your vibe).

The best part of the PrideInn Mara Camp (and others in the area) is the presence of the Maasai tribe , which welcomed us with a traditional song and dance. There were also a number of warriors who worked in the hotel and who would walk us to and from our rooms if it was late at night.

Day 2: Take A Hot Air Balloon & A Drive

The park is huge, so soaring over the savannah to see the landscape and animals from above is an efficient and bucket list-worthy way to start off your safari experience.

Take a hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara for a bird's-eye view.

We had to wake up at 4 a.m. to head over to the hot air balloon launch site, but I quickly stopped complaining about the early call time when we were in the balloon and the sun was rising over Masai Mara.

We got to take in bird's eye views of the Mara River (including a rare sighting of an adorable baby hippo that was splashing through it), check out a family of grazing giraffes from above, and get eye-level with the vultures in the trees. Afterward, we enjoyed an English-style brunch with unlimited mimosas in the middle of the bush, then headed back to the camp to nap it all off.

Travel writer Lara Walsh took a hot air balloon ride over Masai Mara.

In the early afternoon, we headed on our second safari and stayed until twilight. After spending almost two weeks in Kenya, I realized it’s 100% worth doing two safari drives a day — one in the morning as the sun rises and one at dusk right before the predators are about to start hunting — to get the fullest picture of how the animals act in their natural habitat.

Depending on the time of day, you’ll also see different personalities from the lions. When I went in the morning, the lions weren’t the apex predators I’d anticipated. Instead, the pride was almost playful, with a young male lion with a dandelion mane nuzzling his father and the female lions, and cuddling with them in the sun. The only hint of their agility and quick reflexes were shown in how they quickly flipped from side to side and how alert they seemed at all times, with their heads suddenly popping above the grass when they’d been lazily napping in the sun just moments earlier.

Another day, as the sun went down, I saw a group of lionesses who’d been napping and were barely camouflaged in the long grass start to oh-so-casually make their move. They inched toward a grazing herd of wildebeests, their eyes locked on their next meal. I wouldn’t have experienced these different personalities if I hadn’t seen both in action.

Day 3: Go On A Morning Game Drive & Visit The Maasai Tribe

After going on a sunrise game drive, take an afternoon tour of the Maasai tribe’s village. Dressed in signature bright red robes, the warriors greeted us at the entrance of their village. They taught us some of their chants and performed a 10-minute celebratory song and dance that we were encouraged to take part in, which included mimicking the roaring of lions, shaking our shoulders, and competing to see who could jump the highest.

Then, they sectioned us off into groups to tour the family huts and learn about their pastoral lifestyle. Many of the Maasai people have gone into tourism and are employed by hotels and other hospitality businesses in the area, but they’re one of the few tribes where many members still practice their traditional way of life.

Members of the Maasai tribe greet visitors with a ceremony.

After the tour, we got to shop the tribe’s gorgeous beadwork, carved wooden products, and other souvenirs. I picked up a blue bracelet, a beaded choker, and some wooden coasters painted with safari animals to bring back home with me.

Ultimately, I came back to Chicago feeling relaxed, inspired, and fully ready to take advantage of my apartment’s air conditioning. I gained a deep appreciation for my proximity to wildlife during my bush glamping adventure (yes, even for the crickets and lizards in my tent).

Going on safari was life-changing for so many reasons. I was awestruck by seeing a 3-day-old hippo hanging out with his mom, and a pack of elephants racing across the savannah. I was surprised that the lions and giraffes seemed to barely take notice of our Jeep.

Animals lounged, seemingly unbothered, near my safari tour group.

The safari also taught me a lesson in patience. Unlike in a zoo, you’re not able to control when or where you’ll see cheetahs, hippos, or prides of lions — which ends up making it so much more fulfilling when you do.

It’s not a question of if, but when, I’ll go back to Masai Mara on safari. And who knows — maybe this time I’ll spend more than a few days exploring Kenya’s most famous game reserve.
