Masai Mara Game Reserve Camping Tour Safari
Masai Mara Game reserve is a 1500
sq km protected area for wildlife located some 260km north west of Nairobi
city. The Masai Mara national reserve offers the best camping experiences in Kenya
where you get to see hundreds to thousands of animals in their natural habitat.
Masai Mara is famous for its best camping accommodations in either tented camps
or basic campsite camping in the open.
The most popular duration of a Masai
mara camping safari is 3 days which is enough to see as many animals as
possible. The Masai mara 3 day camping tour includes a full day of game drive
in the park where you leave the camp by 7am and you are back in the evening
with a picnic lunch during the day. The picnic lunch is taken near the mara
river as you watch the hippos and crocodiles in the water.
What is in a Tent in a Masai mara Camping Safari Tour?
Masai Mara camping Safari tour is
best when experienced in a tented camp which are either on the luxury end or
the budget end. The Masai mara budget camping safari tented camps are
comfortable and they provide you with a bed and clean beddings including a
flush toilet, hot showers and mirrors. You will even get a coffee table and
safari chairs to sit around in your tent verandah as you watch the sunset. They
are comfortable yet cheap enough not to break your bank while on a safari.
Top Masai Mara Budget Tented Camps
Some of the best budget tented
camps in Masai mara include the Enchoro Wildlife camp, Mara Sidai camp, Masai Manyatta
camp, Lenchada tourist camp and rhino tourist camp. They are basic but provide
very comfortable tents and located next to the Masai mara national
reserve. You may have to go to a nearby
hotel for a swimming pool but by and large these camps are very popular with
most tourists that don’t want to spend so much on luxury tented camps that can
cost anywhere from usd 300 to usd 800 per person per night.
How many animals are found in Masai Mara Game Reserve?
The Masai mara camping safari
itineraries are popular due to the fact that they bring you closest to the
animals. Masai mara game reserve has more than 5 million animals and the
highest concentration of big cat predators. Game viewing in Masai mara is also
very easy as the land is plain and has undulating savannah grasslands that
extend for miles on end which are uninterrupted by any trees. This makes
viewing the wildlife on the plains a very easy thing and you actually get to
see most wildlife on the first day.
Great Masai mara Wildebeest Migration Camping Safari Tour
The biggest attraction to the Masai
mara however is the great wildebeest migration that takes place every year from
July to October. This is the migration of more than 2 million wildebeests,
zebras and gazelles across more than 3000km of savannah in search of fresh
succulent grass which is triggered by the onset of rains to the north in Masai mara.
This is by far the busiest season in Masai mara and you will need to make
advance booking to ensure that you get space in these budget tented camps.
