Masai Mara Safari
What Makes Masai Mara So Special
Wake up to the sound of birds and lions in the distance. Head out on a game drive and see huge herds of wildebeest running across the plains during the Great Migration. Watch a cheetah sprint across the grass or spot a lazy leopard sleeping in a tree. But it’s not just about the animals. You’ll also meet the Maasai people—tall, proud, and full of stories. They’ll welcome you, dance with you, and show you how they live in harmony with nature. As the day ends, sit by a campfire with a warm drink in your hand. The sky turns gold, then purple, then deep blue. You’ll see the sun set behind an acacia tree, and hear hyenas laughing in the night while lions roar in the distance. A Masai Mara safari with Greenway is not just a trip—it’s a story you’ll tell forever. Book the best Masai Mara safari packages with Greenway Nature Tours Africa, and let the adventure begin!

1. Witness the great migration
The Great Migration is one of the most exciting wildlife events on Earth. Every year, over two million animals—mostly wildebeest, zebras, and antelopes—travel across the Serengeti and Masai Mara in search of fresh grass. It’s a nonstop journey full of danger and adventure. You can see the huge herds all year long, but the most thrilling part happens between July and October, when the animals cross the Mara River. These river crossings are heart-stopping moments. Wildebeest leap into crocodile-filled waters, hoping to make it to the other side. It’s wild, powerful, and unforgettable. If you love wildlife, the Great Migration—and especially the dramatic Mara River crossings—should be at the very top of your bucket list.
2. Enjoy daily game drives
The Masai Mara is a true paradise for wildlife lovers. With animals everywhere, all year round, it’s one of the best places on Earth to see nature at its wildest. Go on two exciting game drives each day with expert guides who know every corner of the Mara. They’ll help you spot lions, elephants, leopards, and so much more. And while you explore this amazing land, you’ll also learn about the Maasai people—proud guardians of the Mara who have lived here for generations. Their deep connection to the land adds something truly special to your safari.
3. Explore the open Savanna on foot
Feel the true spirit of adventure as you explore the open savannah on foot—just like the early explorers and Maasai herdsmen did long ago. A guided walking safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brings you closer to nature than ever before. There’s no engine noise, just the sound of birds, crickets, and the whisper of the wind in the grass. You’ll breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the African sun, and sense the wild all around you. With each step, the ground tells a story—and the horizon stretches as far as your eyes can see. This is how you truly connect with Africa—on foot, feeling the land beneath your feet.
4. Take to the skies in a hot air balloon
Wake up before sunrise and lift off into the sky on a magical hot air balloon ride over the vast Masai Mara plains. As the golden light of dawn spreads across the land, you’ll float peacefully above herds of animals roaming below—and if you’re lucky, you might even witness the Great Migration from the air. It’s quiet, calm, and breathtaking—a view you’ll never forget. When you touch down, the adventure ends in style with a delicious champagne breakfast right in the heart of the wild. It’s the perfect way to start your day in the Mara.
5. Meet the Maasai People on a Community Visit
A trip to the Masai Mara isn’t complete without spending time with the incredible Maasai people. During a community visit, you’ll be welcomed into their traditional homes—called manyattas—made of mud and sticks. As you walk through their village, the Maasai will proudly share their way of life, from herding cattle to age-old customs passed down through generations. You’ll hear their stories, see their colorful clothing, and experience their rich culture up close. It’s a heartwarming and unforgettable part of your safari.
