Explore the beauty of the wild Maasai Mara with our special Free Night Offer courtesy of Sentinel Mara Camp, Pay 4 Nights Stay 5 Nights. In the wild, no two days are the same! Our bespoke approach means you are able to set your group’s own personalised pace and agenda. Being on safari and removed from the pressures and distractions of life is an amazing blend of stimulation and rest for the soul as you become part of nature’s harmony.
The Great Wildebeest Migration - the annual migration of giant herds of grazers across Northern Tanzania and Kenya is a truly spectacular event. Over two million wildebeest, zebras and gazelles move through the Serengeti and Masai Mara ecosystems in search of green pasture, in a regular pattern. This is surely one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.
Daily game drives are another must-do activity for nature lovers. Our knowledgeable guides will take you on a journey through the Maasai Mara in search of the big five and other wildlife. With its rolling hills and vast grasslands, the Maasai Mara is home to an incredible array of flora and fauna, and our guides are passionate about sharing their knowledge and experience with our guests.
Daily game drives can be complemented by guided bush walks in a nearby area with our naturalist or a bird walk in the forest around the precincts of the camp. We offer a long walk on the escarpment with amazing vistas of the savannah plains.
For those interested in learning more about the local culture, we offer visits to Maasai villages. Here, you can experience the daily life of the Maasai people and learn about their traditions and customs. These visits offer a unique opportunity to connect with the local community and gain a deeper understanding of the culture and history of the area.
