    • Masai Mara is one of the lushest reserves in Africa and is globally renowned for the Great Migration when thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and Thomson's gazelle travel to and from the Serengeti. Thanks to its relatively large populations of lions, cheetah, and leopards, the park is also known for providing excellent predator sightings in its natural habitats.

What to bring
  • Baggage: the ‘mantra’ is Travel Light!
  • Clients should be encouraged to carry soft-sided travel bags instead of hard or roller cases such as samsonite, etc.
  • This saves time during the loading and offloading of the safari vehicles.
  • Other Personal Items
  • Don’t forget the camera, camcorder and a plentiful supply of film and spare batteries.
  • A pair of binoculars will greatly enhance game viewing, while a torch to find your way around camp after dark is a good idea.
  • Books, pencils, crayons and crackers are very welcome as gifts to the children of local villages that you would pass (or visit) whilst on safari. We do not encourage candy as some do not have easy access to dentists.
  • Sunglasses and a hat for protection against the sun are recommended, and swimsuits should be packed for the swimming pool or beach.
Know before you go
  • Summer clothing is worn throughout the year, although a jacket and light raincoat may be necessary. Early morning and evening temperatures at altitude (most national parks are located 1000m plus asl) are cool. So we recommend a sweater to keep you warm, especially during your dawn and dusk safaris.
  • On safari, wear neutral colours, such as brown, beige and khaki - bright colours may alarm the animals. Sensible walking shoes are also recommended.
  • Since laundry is only possible where you are staying for two nights, try to carry the quick-dry type of clothing. (particular properties and only were mentioned in the itinerary)
  • Casual wear is the norm during the day, a short-sleeved shirt for men, light cotton dresses, or a skirt and top for women. In the evening, all hotels and restaurants require long trousers for men in particular.
  • Topless sunbathing is not permitted.
  • Tipping is not compulsory but is always enthusiastically received if you are happy with the service and would like to tip. There are no set percentages for tips. The local culture believes the level of tips should be at the client's discretion, and any token of appreciation is gladly received.
  • We recommend that you tip your guide directly at the end of your stay in camp; as a rough guideline, you might want to tip from US$5-10 per day.
  • Please note that there are variations between all the EA countries on tipping and gratuities. Whilst the actual amount of money to tip is left at your discretion.
