Masai Mara N.R. Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Cheetah, Masai Mara NR Cheetah, Masai Mara NR Andrew Lamb The Masai Mara is definitely Kenya’s most popular tourist attraction. The Mara had become the country’s most visited park or reserve because of the amount of game within a fairly small area. Here you have the best chance of seeing a leopard or cheetah, and you’re sure to see lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffe, hyena, and many types of ungulates, such as impala, Thomson’s gazelle, topi, and hartebeest. The annual migration of wildebeest is an extraordinary sight, where millions of the animals move in from the Serengeti in July and August. The only draw-back of the Masai Mara is that it is too crowded with tourists. You literally cannot look anywhere without seeing a white Nissan filled with other travelers. Game is located by finding the groups of tourist vehicles, some times up to 20 or more surrounding one cheetah or lion. It detracts from the experience making you feel like you’re in a zoo without cages. Still, there’s nowhere in Kenya where you can see this many animals with so little effort. Most visitors that visit the Mara have booked trips with a travel company. There are many companies that offer different deals. Most are 2 or 3 nights, with two or more game drives in the park a day. Prices for a tented camp safari average about US$ 200 per person for the trip, including meals and lodging in tents. Gametrackers and Let’s Go Travel are two companies which can give you a good safari for a decent price. Their contacts are at the beginning of the National Parks section. There are many upper-end deals as well, where you’ll stay at very expensive resort hotels or tented camps. There are more than a dozen such resorts, some inside the park boundaries. If you’ve booked your safari with a tourist company, you’ll have no choice where you stay. If you have your own vehicle and a lot of money, you have several options. Mara Intrepids Club (# (02) 338084) offers tents for US$ 223/304 for singles/doubles with full board and game drives. Low season rates are an excellent value at US$ 100/160. Nearby also on the Talek River is the Fig Tree Camp (# (02) 221439), which is also a tented camp. For US$ 125/170 you can get a single/double with full board, or US$ 50/100 in the low season. The Mara Serena Lodge (# (02) 711077) lies on the Mara river in the center of the park. They have singles/doubles with full board for US$ 120/160, or US$ 50/100 in the low season. If you want to stay outside of the park and save money on expensive park fees, try the Mara Safari Club (# (02) 216940), or the more affordable Mara River Camp (# (02) 331191). The high season is usually considered to be from December through January, then June until mid August. __________Sights Edit This Masai Mara Migration Safari: Day 1: Arrival- Nairobi Today, you arrive at Nairobi, Kenya's vibrant capital city.

More Masai Mara migration safari details available: http://www.africansermonsafaris.org/migrationsafari.htm ____________Visiting a Maasai Village Edit This The Masai Mara is the traditional home of the famous Maasai people. They are relatively unaffected by western influence, unlike the major tribes in Kenya. They still dress in traditional garb, consisting of red cloth and beautiful bead jewelry. They have kept much of their culture, including their dances, where the men jump straight up into the air. If you’ve even looked into Kenya at all, you have seen Maasai. Unfortunately, here at the Mara is not the best place to see Maasai as they really live. Just as it seems like the wildlife is in a zoo, most of what tourists see of the Maasai seems like an act. For example, there is a “traditional” Maasai village just outside the Oloolaimutiek Gate which is opened to tourists. If you pay a small fee of KSh 350, you can walk around and take pictures. Of course this is nothing close to traditional, and you won’t get any peace from people bothering you to buy trinkets. There are ways to see a real, uncontrived Maasai village, however. Find a different village that is not commonly visited by tourists, and stay with a Maasai family. Your guide or someone working for your tourist company can help arrange this for you. If you pay the family, they should be glad to welcome you into their home for a meal. Use one of your guides as a translator. Make sure you first arrange with the locals and ask their permission before you take pictures, as most will rightly want some sort of compensation. _________Narok Town Edit This No matter if you are touring the Mara with a company, or with your own vehicle, you will pass through the town of Narok. The town is loaded with souvenir shops and hawkers, so you will not get one minute of peace without harassment. If you need to spend the night here, go to the Spear Hotel which offers singles/doubles for KSh 250/350. For cheap food, go to Garden Restaurant, opposite the Hass petrol station. Opposite the new Bus Stage you will find MARA SUPER MARKET the best Super Market in Town. You will find mineral water, chocolates, biscuits, and all travel necesities at the cheapest prices in town. Chambai Hotel is also a good place to spend the night for a singles/doubles you pay KSh 350.
