The three-day Maasai Mara camping safari tour is about having a close encounter with the wildlife population found in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. You can easily spot Lions, Leopards, Elephants, Cheetahs, Buffalo, and numerous other wild animals in their natural habitat as they have existed over the centuries on your safari trail.
The Maasai Mara camping safari provides the most cost-effective way to view wildlife in the Masai Mara in a reasonable number of days for a fantastic price!
We are currently offering the Masai Mara Camping safari as a group or private safari for 2 or more people up to a maximum of 7 people in a safari van that has a pop-up roof for game drives. It provides our clients with flexible game viewing times, flexible game drives, lots of space to take photos and view wildlife, and the flexibility that a private safari driver/guide will offer you in terms of where to go and see wildlife in Masai Mara, which is not usually possible on a group trip.
The three days Masai Mara camping safari takes you to Africa’s best game reserve to view wildlife, great scenery, and bird life plus an experience interacting with the Masai tribe who has lived for centuries in harmony with the wildlife, grazing their cattle right next to Africa’s fierce predators without fear of attack.
Masai Mara is home to most species of Africa’s wildlife. There is wildlife all year round in the Mara so there is no excuse as to why you should not visit this park anytime you are in Kenya.
During the July – October season, millions of wildebeest, Zebras, and Gazelles embark on the greatest land-based animal migration on earth. Trekking from the plains of Serengeti in Tanzania through the Mara River where ferocious crocodiles await eagerly to pounce on the unsuspecting herbivores. Harried by lion pride, cheetahs, sly leopards, laughing hyenas, and the ominous vultures soaring high in the sky waiting to scavenge any sickly or tired animal that cannot make the trek. The Masai Mara Safari allows you to be part of this incredible adventure.
During the January –June, and November –December seasons, the migration is in Serengeti but there is resident wildlife in the Masai Mara so will still be able to spot lots of animals during this time.
December to January is the calving time for most herbivores in the Masai Mara, so there is a lot of prey for carnivores. The season is warm and dry making it ideal for game viewing. There is no fence between the park and the outside environment; therefore wildlife roams wide and free even close to the camp. The camp is fenced off to protect residents from predators and unpredictable animals like elephants. Camps are self-contained with flush toilets and private bathrooms inside the tent. There is hot water in the morning and evening to take a shower. Tents have a permanent roof to protect against rain and harsh weather and to keep the tent cool during the day, warm at night. There is a mosquito net over the bed to protect you from the insects at night so remember to tuck it in tightly around the bed edges.
