Wildlife
History
The Maasai people have long inhabited the Mara and surrounding highlands; many conservancies are now co-managed with Maasai landowners, blending traditional use with tourism income.
Conservation
Tourism funds park management but also increases pressure on water and grazing; support community-run conservancies and follow guide rules to minimize disturbance.
Reserve your spot on the 8 Days 7 Nights Masai Mara: Mombasa Safari by Ghalib today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring binoculars and a zoom lens
Game drives reward optics — 8–10x binoculars and a 200–400mm lens capture distant cats and river crossings with clarity.
Layer for large temperature swings
Mornings are cool (especially near Amboseli); afternoons can be hot and dusty — pack a light fleece and sun layer.
Prepare for bumpy road transfers
Carry motion-sickness tablets and secure loose items; some sections are long and on gravel tracks, not paved highways.
Hydrate and carry local cash
Bottled water is provided but bring a refillable bottle and small local currency for tips and marketplace purchases.
Binoculars (8–10x)
Essential for wildlife spotting across expansive plains and riverbanks.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Strong equatorial sun makes UV protection necessary during midday drives.
Light fleece or windbreaker
Cool pre-dawn drives and evenings require an insulating layer.
Sturdy walking shoes
Useful for short walks, lodge grounds, and uneven paths during village visits.
