The Maasai Mara Destination Guide is now LIVE!
The Mara is one of the most celebrated Safari destinations in all of Africa. There's a reason so many wildlife photographers and documentary filmmakers like to spend extended time here in the savannahs of the Mara; the wildlife sightings are world-class. From massive lion prides, to the Great Migration, to the native Maasai people, the Mara is filled with reasons to make a trip to this special place.
I expected a few things, like that we'd see animals in their natural habitat and that we'd stay in unique lodgings, but I was blown away by the unexpected. I didn't realize just how close we'd be able to get to the animals; I certainly didn't imagine being just a few feet from lunching lions. I also didn't realize just how many animals we'd see. I thought we'd spend the majority of our time searching, with a few sightings interspersed through our day. Instead, it was flipped, and we were rarely without something exciting to see and interesting tidbits from our guide.
On top of all that, I was blown away by the hospitality. Not only did our lodges manage to pull off impossible levels of luxury in truly remote locations, but we were pampered by the most incredible hosts. The staff blew us away with their warmth, attention to detail, and expertise. The food and accommodations were as good, but likely better, than anywhere we’ve stayed in the world, and we got to enjoy it all in relative solitude.
From the epic wildlife sightings and journeys across sweeping landscapes to the more understated moments conversing with warm, genuine hosts or simply enjoying the sounds of nature, the Mara is a place that sticks in my mind. If you're ever blessed with a chance to visit, jump on it. Your only concern will be that you, too, will spend your life dreaming of your return to this magical place.
