Game viewing and getting the feel for Africa are central to the activities at Mara Explorer, with three game drives a day, bush walks, hot air balloon safaris and cultural excursions.

Hot Air Balloon Rides

Imagine floating above the rolling plains of the Masai Mara during an early morning balloon ride. Watch as the land below gets flooded by light as the sun rises revealing plains game such as Wildebeest and Gazelles scattered across the plains.

Guided game drives

Mara Explorer offers three guided game drives daily in the early morning, mid morning and late afternoon. Guests can also choose to do a full day game drive with a picnic to the Mara River. The drives are led by experienced guides who will help spot wildlife and tell guests about the ecology of the region.

Bush Dining

Tuck into delicious al fresco meals surrounded by the rolling plains of the Masai Mara. Either by the river out in the vastness of the plains extends the game drive by dining out in grand style. For full day excursions, sumptuous pictures can be packed.

Nature Walks

There can be no more thrilling way to explore the plains of Africa than on foot. Set out on a two hour walk with a local Maasai naturalist who will tell you about the ecosystem, and how to behave in the presence of wild animals. This is also a great opportunity to try and spot some of the regions birdlife.

Cultural excursions

While staying at Mara Explorer guests can visit a Maasai Manyatta (traditional homestead) and kraals. The local guide will give an intriguing account of the traditional way of life of the tribe that have lived this way for hundreds of years.
