What makes a Kenyan Safari Unique
Kenyan Safaris are one of the most popular ways to interact with wildlife with a stunning backdrop of the savannah and sun. Here’s why your Kenyan safari experience can be one of your most unique adventures:
Balloon Safari
Take a hot air balloon ride over the vast landscape of Maasai Mara, at the crack of dawn. Experience the wildlife and landscapes that Maasai Mara has to offer from a different perspective. Seeing a herd of buffalo run in the same direction, or a troop of giraffes strolling through the savannah is just magical. That paired with a champagne breakfast will make up one of the best memorable experiences you will have.
Night Game Drives
Many safari lodges in Kenya offer an experience that involves venturing out into the darkness to see nocturnal animals such as leopards, hyenas and civets. These drives are thrilling and are ideal for all you thrill seekers out there!
Walking Safaris
Walking safaris are another unique way to get up close and personal with the wildlife and the ecosystem. Walking Safaris are usually led by experienced guides who can teach you about the plants and animals you encounter along the way and keep you safe.
Learn about local communities
You can visit local Maasai villages and learn about their rich culture and way of life. This is a great way to gain a deeper understanding of the country and its people. Learn about the ‘Manyattas’ (circular houses) and how they are built, their food and their routines. This is also a good way of supporting local communities.You can also live amongst the community as part of your safari.
Private Safaris
If you’d like to experience a more exclusive and intimate safari, there are conservancies in Kenya that are often less crowded and offer the opportunity to see wildlife in a more natural and intimate setting.
Sundowners and bush dinners
Take a break from your game drive and enjoy a sundowner while marvelling at the beautiful landscapes of the savannah. Then, sit down and dine under the stars, enveloped by the untamed beauty of the wild. As you immerse yourself in this unique culinary experience, enjoy the distant sounds of wildlife, constantly reminding you that you are fully immersed in nature.
