Game drives are designed to take you close to the
wildlife rich spots in the Maasai Mara. This gives you an opportunity
to view wild animals in their natural habitat as they go about their
daily activities. Game drives are done during the day or night time.
Night game drives are however not allowed in the reserve butcan be
arranged on request.
It is recommended that you use a local driver/guide s/he should be familiar with the area, able to give you lots of information about the animals and their habitat, and know where they can currently be found and how best to approach them. However, one can opt for a self-drive safari on condition that you are familiar with the rules and regulations of the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
You can choose few packages from ONE
Night safari or
TWO Nights Safari or 3
Nights Safari with Accomodation at Mara Chui Camp
When making an inquiry for a place to stay in the Mara, please specify on the kind of game drive that you are interested in.

From this vantage point, you will experience a
bird's eye view of the Maasai Mara. Here you will be able to see beautiful
and excellent scenery, with a variety of wildlife. To top off this
special occasion, a full 'Champagne Breakfast' is organized on the
landing site to celebrate the flight.
The balloons take off at around 6.30am when the wind conditions are
favourable for take off. Wake up calls may be booked with the reception
desk for an early cup of coffee or tea before departure.
For that intimate encounter, take an exciting guided
walking safari. A qualified Masai naturalist will lead the way, bringing
you to a safe distance from animals. En route they explain the tracks,
markings, droppings and plant life which create the tableaux around
you, with insights into how nature's bounty provides food, medicine
and resources for tribal life. You may never be closer to nature,
at its most raw and unspoiled, than this. All you need is good walking
shoes and a sense of adventure
CULTURE VISIT:
To gain a rare insight into one of Africa best-known traditional cultures
we recommend a visit to a Masai Manyatta (village).
Our relationship with local tribal elders has built trust and an agreement
to allow us privileged access to authentic living history, perpetuated
in the villages which boarder our Resort. Each visit, takes around 2
hrs, opens the door on a unique way of life and set of traditions. A
Masai host gives you a tour of the Manyatta explaining the lifestyle
and what lies inside one of the huts. You also get a chance to buy their
hand made local crafts, in turn supporting their existence and lifestyle.
SUNDOWNER:
It's a classic moment, immortalized in films, fantasies and a million
great safari adventures: watching the sun set over the African bush.
There's simply nothing like it.
