Take to the Skies
A Masai Mara balloon safari is a quintessential safari experience in these parts, and nothing comes close to drifting along in the morning breeze, taking in a bird’s-eye view of the African wildlife. These safaris depart pre-dawn for lift-off over the Masai Mara, followed by a mandatory champagne breakfast.
Morning and Evening Game Drives
At Lerai Safari Camp, your Maasai guides will lead you out on morning and evening game drives to get you up close to animals such as leopard, lion, cheetah, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, hyena, zebra, and wildebeest. It’s hard to top the rumbling of the 4x4 engine, as you make your way to action-packed game sightings. You will stop for morning breakfast and afternoon sundowners to admire those exquisite African sunrise and sunset scenes.
Step out on a Walking Safari
Step into the wild with your Maasai tracker-guide who will impart his expert knowledge about the surrounding savanna. This is your chance to connect to nature, as you learn how to identify spoor and understand the medicinal use of certain plants and the fascinating habits of animals found here.
Saddle Up!
Take to the saddle for a wild encounter trough the Olerai Conservancy. Nothing comes close to traversing the rolling grassy plains with your trusty four-legged companion. Time your visit just right at Lerai, and you could easily find yourself galloping alongside herds of wildebeest and zebra as they follow the rain.
Maasai Cultural Immersion
While you might arrive at Lerai Safari Camp keen to see the animals, expect to leave longing for the people you have met. During your stay, you can also visit the local manyatta (settlement) to learn about the Maasai culture.
