Destination: Cultural Experiences
One of the great attractions of this particular safari destination is the cultural experience with the Maasai people. Make sure you try out one of the many sensitive cultural excursions and experience the lifestyles of the local communities. The Maasai Mara has abundant wildlife all year round. Whether you’re watching a pride of lions hunting, hyenas squabbling with vultures, a herd of elephants grazing in the marsh, or the migration you will not be disappointed with the safari experience.
