Game drives in the Masai Mara are unforgettable due to the abundance of wildlife and the spectacular landscapes. With gently rolling hills and wide open plains, this is the quintessential African safari experience. Travellers can expect to encounter large numbers of animals year round, with big herds of elephant, buffalo and other plains game. It is also common to see predator interaction. The Great Wildebeest Migration passes through the Mara for approximately three months each year. Game drives may last from a couple of hours to the whole day, with a picnic breakfast and lunch.
Guests can experience night drives on a private concession bordering the Masai Mara National Reserve. As the sun sinks, the African bush comes to life with predators and other nocturnal creatures.
Experience the beauty of the Masai Mara on a hot air balloon flight. Take off at dawn and float in whichever direction the morning winds take you. Your altitude may vary from treetop height or lower, which offers a unique perspective and great photographic opportunities, to 300 metres (1 000 feet), showcasing the vastness of the panorama. From time to time the pilot must put more heat into the balloon with the powerful whisper burners. In between these burns, there is silence apart from the natural sounds below. This is a once in a lifetime experience to really appreciate the spectacular magnificence of wild Africa. The hot air balloon flight lasts about an hour and is followed by champagne and a full English breakfast.
Children visiting the lodge can take advantage of the funfilled and interactive WILDchild programme where little ones can participate in the following: • Nature walk • Join a Maasai spear throwing competition • Fire making the Maasai way • Play soccer with the camp’s team • Visit a nearby village • Prepare a ranger’s omelette breakfast on a game drive • Create colourful items and learn bead work
For those guests looking for fresh and thrilling on-the ground views, this privately guided activity offers the perfect opportunity to discover a multitude of natural wonders: following wildlife trails, discovering the complexities of tracking and learning to interpret the signs and sounds of the bush. Courtesy-use Swarovski Optik binoculars will be an indispensable bonus.
Guests are able to enjoy relaxing, Healing Earth spa treatments in the intimate massage sala. Boasting the same incredible view, there are two massage tables that allow for both couple and individual treatments.
Next to the South Camp pool is a fully-equipped, state-of-the-art exercise room, complete with treadmill, elliptical, stationary bicycle, yoga ball and weights. Guests can work out with a view of giraffe, a herd of buffalo, plenty of warthogs and often elephant walking out on the plains.
Revel in the landscapes of Africa as you savour a meal served just like African explorers of old. Enjoy an open-air breakfast on the banks of the Mara River or on the Oloololo Escarpment. Your every whim is taken care of and your table set up in the wilds of Africa will make for an unforgettable dining experience.
