Budget Masai Mara Safari package

In this blog, I will tell you how you can do a great budget safari in Masai Mara in Kenya, a great game drive with beautiful animals. And all that cheap, so that it even fits within a backpackers budget!

Kenya isn’t known for being a cheap backpackers destination. To be more specific, most accommodations in Masai Mara (also called Maasai Mara or The Mara), the famous game park, start from just under 1500 euros. Yes, you did read that correctly, one and a half thousand euros per night!

Masai Mara (also called Masai Mara) is a reserve in southwestern Kenya, close to the Tanzanian border. It is one of the best-known game parks in Kenya. Not surprising, as there are many wild animals here and you have a great chance to see almost all of them! The park is more than 1510 square kilometres in size and divided into two areas: The Greater Mara reserve and the Mara Triangle. We visited the Greater Mara reserve, the largest and most visited area.

Yes, definitely! Masai Mara is one of the most popular parks in East Africa which means you will see dozens of other jeeps and safari cars in the park. Also, sometimes you will be with a large group of cars watching the same animals. (That said, there were many times during the day we shared intimate moments just our vehicle and the animals.) There are few parks where you see so many animals together and have such a big chance to spot the big five! For us, this was our first safari experience and I am afraid we will be ruined for the rest of our lives. This was so cool!

Fic: Grief is the price we pay for love

A/N: A little one shot that has been sitting half finished on my laptop for years, that I’ve dusted off and done because 2017 is the Year of Finishing Unfinished Fics. Post-FOTJ, Luke Skywalker and Ben bonding and grieving and hashing things out because damn they really needed to.

Luke had never felt at ease on Coruscant. It had been Mara’s home for so many years, her bones were made of steel and chrome, the lights of the city reflected in her eyes, and she could disappear into a crowd like the tide returned to the sea.

He still thought about her in the present tense, as if unable to relegate her to the past. She was gone, and yet he felt as if she was beside him always. She’d gravitated to rooftops; whenever he’d wanted to find her he’d only have to look for the highest possible nearby point and she’d be there, in quiet contemplation with the sky. In her absence he’d found himself doing the same, and had to admit the city was more tolerable from above. The buzz and bustle was muted, the oppressive sense of millions of life forms was kept at bay, and from a distance the patchwork of lights lost their glare. Of course Luke always found himself drawn to the beauty of the natural world, which on Coruscant left only red and pink hues of the sky. But he didn’t mind - he’d always liked sunsets.

His peace was disturbed by heavy footsteps, and Luke looked over to see his son crossing to rooftop to where he sat on the ledge, leaning against the wall.

“Hey, Dad.” Ben sat down next to him, swinging his legs over the edge of the roof. Luke nodded in answer, his son always welcome to join him, although his instincts tended towards action over reflection and so he rarely did. Even having just sat down he was unable to keep from moving entirely, drumming his heels against the duracrete wall in a staccato beat

“Were you thinking about Mom?” Ben asked as he looked out over the city Luke had been musing over.

“What makes you say that?” Luke wondered if his son had felt where his thoughts were dwelling, or if it was because Ben was thinking of her also. Turning back to the horizon, Luke felt the setting sun pinch his eyes. “A little.” His thoughts often strayed to her. What she would have said in a Council meeting, how she would have reacted to some event or another, what pointed remark she would have thrown his way when he said something stupid. It was impossible not to think about her.

They’d had a nice little family; Luke, Mara and Ben. Not perfect by any means, they’d had their differences, but they’d been so bound together by mutual love that Luke’s heart had never been so full as when they were all together. He and Ben had butted heads the most, but Mara had been there to ground them both, a constant reminder of the affection beneath any conflict. Quite contrary to the attitude of her youth, she had become a peacemaker.

But then she had died and he and Ben had flailed, like two sides of a triangle unable to fully connect to one another without the third, vital dimension. And yet it had forced them to grow closer, to accommodate one another without Mara as intermediary. The odyssey of the past year had brought them closer still, and Luke finally felt he was near to having the relationship with his son he had always craved.

“Everyone acts like they need to remind me of her,” Ben spoke into the dwindling light. “They’re always telling me that I sound like her, or what she would have thought about something.” Ben stilled his legs, the beat he’d been drumming out stopping abruptly. “I mean, I like to hear about her,” he added. “But…only when I ask, you know?”

Luke looked at his son, already a man at seventeen. His face only held a hint of boyishness; his hair, once brilliantly red, had settled to a more sedate auburn as a consequence of the time they’d spent cooped up on the Jade Shadow . His built was slight and compact, as Luke’s was, but he was no longer an ill-proportioned teenager growing into his limbs. He was fully grown, in body if not in mind.

He sometimes wondered if it had been a mistake to make Ben a Jedi Knight so young. Luke had been so proud of his maturity and growth, and it had seemed the logical step to take to reward his son who had already accomplished so much in the face of great odds. Ben had been the one to talk sense into Luke following Mara’s death, and had shown not only prodigious skill in the Force but a keen determination that Luke recognised as similar to his own. In his pride perhaps he had overlooked Ben’s youth, and yet he’d been acutely aware that his boy hadn’t had much of a childhood. As a baby he’d already felt more pain and death through the Force than most did in a lifetime, he’d been conscripted into a war barely into his teens, had been brainwashed and almost dragged to the dark side by the only person he’d opened himself up to, and had spent the years since trapped in a seemingly endless cycle of conflict.

At seventeen Luke had been fixing vaporators. His son had fought monsters.

It was a battle that had left him scarred, and now when he looked at Ben he saw the child inside he’d been ignoring for so long. Luke realised had been so consumed with relating to Ben man to man that he forgot his son was still a boy who had lost the mother he adored to the cousin he had worshipped. And that boy needed comfort and commiseration.

“People are always saying how sorry they are for me,” Luke said, knowing Ben was perhaps the only one who would understand. “ I’m sorry for your loss, Master Skywalker . That’s what they say – as if I misplaced her in my robes.”

“They’re always telling me great she was,” Ben added, looking down at his hands, “but I know that, I’m not going to forget.”

“People don’t always know what to say,” Luke counseled him. “They want to make you feel better, and even though they know they can’t they still need to try.”

“Yeah, sometimes I feel like I end up comforting them .” The barest hint of a smile appeared, and Ben shook his head slightly.

“That’s because you have a good heart Ben,” Luke said, reaching out to pat his son’s shoulder. “And you understand that we weren’t the only ones who loved her.”

He sometimes wondered if Mara was out there watching them, and whether she was surprised at just how much she’d touched other people’s lives. She’d probably be annoyed that she’d been so unsuccessful at keeping people at a distance, and it made Luke smile to think that despite his wife’s best efforts to cultivate only a small group of loved ones, the impact of her death had been felt far beyond their family.

“I talk to her sometimes,” Ben said softly, and the way his mouth twisted on the words reminded Luke so much of Mara his heart felt fit to break again.

“I talk to her too.” He leaned back against the wall, bending a knee and propping up his foot on the edge of the roof.

“I wonder what she’d say about that,” Ben smiled wryly, but also looked relieved.

Luke considered for only half a moment. “She’d probably say that we were both being lunk-headed and that we should talk to each other instead.”

“Yeah, probably,” Ben laughed, and ran a hand through his hair and seemed to relax. “So, what do you want to talk about?”

“Smashball’s always a safe topic,” Luke suggested. “But I suppose that’s the point.”

“Not that safe,” Ben said with a grin, “with the way the Dreadnaughts have been playing.”

Luke chuckled lightly, but caught Ben’s eye. “After years with your mother I can recognise a classic deflection technique.”

His son stared back at him, the quirk of a smile on his face as he inclined his head in acknowledgement. “I learned from the best, and it wasn’t Mom.”

Luke couldn’t deny it - he had Ben rarely talked about Mara, but when they did he always tried to keep it light, to impart some fond memory of the time they’d all had together, an inadequate attempt to claw back Mara’s part in their trinity as if that would help he and Ben to grow closer. More often than not, he changed the subject as quickly as possible, but now understood that Ben needed more from him - something he’d never told anyone else.

“When I was in the Lake of Apparitions, I saw her again,” Luke said softly, looking out where the sun had almost dipped below the horizon. “Abeloth was dead, but I’d been injured in the battle.” His hand came up unconsciously to the wound in his chest which still ached on occasion. “I was ready to die, Ben. To sink beneath the waters and be with your mother again.”

“But she wouldn’t let you.” Ben’s voice was soft, almost a whisper.

Luke swallowed heavily, remembering the strength of her beneath him in the waters, refusing to let him give up. “No.”

“Did she say anything?” Ben asked plaintively, and when Luke turned back there was pain etched deep into his young face. His meaning was clear - did she say anything about me ?

“She said not yet ,” Luke told him. “I’m sorry, Ben, I forgot about you, about all my responsibilities, all I wanted was to be with her again. But she didn’t.” He smiled to himself at the memory. “She said too bad , and sent me back.”

“Yeah, that sounds like her.” Ben looked at him with large blue eyes that so often seemed like a mirror. “I’m glad she did,” he said, a catch in his voice. “I don’t…know what I would do if I lost you too.”

Luke felt his heart ache with Ben’s bare confession. He’d always thought his son so strong, and in those moments in the Lake of Apparitions he hadn’t even thought what making Ben a true orphan would mean. He’d been so tired, worn down by the battle which seemed to have been raging his whole life, taking him apart piece by piece. But Mara had known - protecting Ben had always been her first priority, even in death.

“I know I haven’t always made it easy for you,” Ben continued, looking down at his hands and nervously drumming his heels again. “Spent most of my life trying to prove that I was better than you, or at least just as good. But you were right Dad. About Ves.” He cleared his throat, hands clenching into fists. “I mean Vestara. There was no hope for her.”

The words struck Luke painfully. He’s more machine now, than man. Twisted and evil. They had been words spoken to him long ago; words of finality and resignation. Words he had chosen not to believe.

Maybe I’m too set in my ways to believe that someone who was born Sith, raised Sith, and grew up surrounded by Sith can set that aside enough to become a Jedi.

They were Luke’s words only recently, his refusal to see past the corruption in another, to believe that they could renounce the dark.

When had he stopped believing in redemption? Perhaps when the Vong rampaged through the galaxy, slaughtering thousands and bending planets to their will. Perhaps when there had been one conflict after another, the Killiks and the Swarm War, the Second Galactic Civil War, Abeloth.

Perhaps when the nephew whom he had dearly loved had turned his son into an assassin and brutally murdered his wife.

And yet…there had been some good left in Jacen. Perhaps not enough for him to save himself, but it had been there, the love for his daughter enough to reach out to her with his dying breath, rather than take his sister’s life. In the end, Jacen had won, and Caedus had been destroyed.

“No, Ben,” Luke shook his head. “I was wrong - I forgot the lessons I learned when I was young.”

He’d become just like Obi-Wan before him, beaten down by years of anguish that he’d only seen hope in death, rather than love. It had been the guiding principle of his life, and yet he’d dismissed it, driven by fear for losing his son too, and suspicion of those who may take him away.

“Everyone describes the dark side as a fall,” Luke mused, thinking of his father, of Jacen, even young Vestara. “But you cannot fall forever - eventually you have to hit the bottom, and you either stay there, or you climb back up. So, there’s always hope. They always have the choice - and the way back may be steep, but it is never barred, not completely.”

Ben sniffed, clearly trying to hold his composure as he stared out where the last rays of sun were filtered through the steel towers of the city.

“I wanted to save her,” he said, his voice tight. “Like you did for Mom.”

Luke sighed – in many ways Ben was a child, still. “I didn’t save her, Ben,” he explained softly. “She chose the path of light herself.”

“Yeah, because of you,” Ben insisted, turning his head and nodding towards him. “She told me.”

Luke looked at his son quizzically. He had always known Mara to be brutally honest and willing to give no quarter. Except, it seemed, with her son. Although Luke knew he had helped Mara realize the truth about her service to the Emperor, she of all people would have insisted that her failures were her own, and therefore so were her successes.

But how could she explain to her son that when she first met his father, she wanted to kill him; that it took time for hate to fade to begrudging respect held in check by cool indifference, and years for that to turn to an unconventional and prickly friendship, and finally, to love?

Perhaps she couldn’t. Perhaps their journey had been too difficult to explain to a child who had only known his parents deeply in love. So she had embellished and softened the story. Quite uncharacteristically, she had made it romantic.

And perhaps there had been a glimmer of truth there. Perhaps they had been drawn to one another since the day she’d found him floating in deep space. Perhaps a part of her choice to serve the light had been because of him; because of that connection they had denied for so long, but he now knew had been there the moment they’d met.

It was difficult for Luke to consider the matter objectively. The love he had for her was so strong it seemed he had always felt that way, even though he remembered the other women in his life. Callista and Ankanah, consumed by Abeloth, Gaeriel Captison and Jem, many years dead. He had loved them also, and yet they had not been the other half of his soul as Mara had. He promised Callista he’d save her, and still had that lingering affection which had given weight to the promise, but the devotion he’d once felt for her had long paled in comparison.

“All I can tell you is that you’ll love again,” Luke said finally. “And maybe it will hurt just as much, but that’s part of being alive.”

“Do you think you’ll love again?” Ben challenged him, lifting his chin in the way he always did when provoked.

Luke’s hand came to rest over his heart again almost unconsciously. The wound he’d sustained should have ended his life, his insides all but torn from his chest by Abeloth’s tentacles. Then again, he should have died fifteen years earlier when Shirrma’s amistaff had struck him in almost the same spot, but Mara had been there to heal him with her tears, as she had been there in the Lake of Apparitions, refusing to let him sink. A part of Mara had lived within him since the caves on Nirauen when the Force had bound them together, until the day she’d died and half of his heart had been ripped away with her.

He wondered whether the wound from Abeloth had not killed him because what she’d carved from his chest had been empty anyway.

Ben watched his father, his quick pique as always fading into regret. Luke was far away, staring unblinking and unseeing at a spot above Ben’s shoulder. It happened from time to time.

“I’m sorry,” he said nervously, a twinge of worry that his father’s silence was due to anger. It had been a presumptuous and unfair comparison, and he had wanted to take back the words as soon as they had left his mouth. “I know that Ves and I…it wasn’t anything like what you had with Mom.”

“It’s alright Ben,” Luke reassured him, his eyes clearing as his gaze returned to his face. “I was just thinking.” He was silent for a few moments more, before answering; “I guess I don’t know.”

“I’d be okay with it,” Ben said, albeit somewhat grimly. “I want you to be happy, Dad.”

His father smiled, and it almost seemed indulgent. “Thank you Ben, but at the moment it’s something I can’t imagine even thinking about.”

Despite himself, Ben was relieved. “Well, for when you are,” he said, sweeping his hand in a nonchalant gesture. “If.”

“Well I’ve told you something,” Luke said, bring the conversation back. “It’s your turn.”

“What do you want to know?” Ben was happy to play his part, it was only fair after what his father had told him.

“Well I know that you feel partly responsible for your mother’s death,” Luke said. “But I don’t know why.”

Ben was surprised by the question, not only because he found it hard to believe Luke didn’t know the truth, but that he would ask him at all. He was silent for a while, looking out at the horizon where the sun had fallen, leaving them with the glowing lights of the city.

“Because of Gejjen,” Ben said finally, the name that still haunted him. “I was the one who killed him, in cold blood, because I was asked to. I knew it wasn’t right, and I still did it, and afterwards…I woke up to what I was doing, who I was becoming. But I was too scared to tell you.”

“But you told your mother.” Luke’s voice was soft, and full of understanding

“That’s why she took off after Ja-.” Ben cleared his throat and looked down at his hands. “Caedus.” He didn’t deserve to be thought or spoken of as Jacen anymore, not after everything he’d done.

“It wasn’t your fault Ben,” Luke assured him. “I don’t know if there’s any way we could have avoided tragedy - he could have killed you instead, and I know your mother would trade her life a thousand times over for yours, just like I would. It’s a parent’s prerogative.”

He knew that, intellectually, he knew his mother was fiercely protective of him, that she would have gone after Caedus at some stage anyway, but it was far too easy to draw a line between events, with himself at the epicentre.

“And Gejjen?”

“It’s something you have to learn to live with, Ben,” Luke said, but his voice was kindly. “All you can do is follow the right path now, and one day learn to forgive yourself.”

Perhaps that was partly why he’d been so desperate to bring Vestara to the light, perhaps he’d wanted someone to walk that path with him, knowing how close he’d come to the dark under Caedus’ influence. But in doing so he’d treated her badly, he hadn’t shown the compassion the understanding his father had once shown his mother - he’d fallen far short of the example of both his parents.

“You know Ben, I was always so happy that you were close to your mother,” Luke said drawing is attention again. “But if we’re being honest with each other, I can’t deny that it hurt a little that we weren’t as close. And I’m not saying that’s right, or justified,” he added before Ben could interrupt. “But that’s how I felt.”

Ben had known that, and also knew it was an old wound, long since covered by other, more painful scars. His father had always seemed like this incredible being, impossible to live up to no matter how desperately Ben wanted to. Perhaps that was why Mara had told Ben that Luke had saved her – knowing that Ben’s own relationship his father was strained and that he feared disapproval. Perhaps it had been Mara’s way of telling Ben that she’d done much worse in her life, and yet Luke had not only accepted her, but loved her unconditionally.

“It’s not that I didn’t love you, Dad,” he explained himself. “But Mom…understood. I just didn’t want you to be disappointed in me.”

Luke was clearly hurt by the answer, his browns coming together and a pain in his eyes. “I never wanted you to feel like that, Ben.”

“I know,” Ben nodded. “It wasn’t anything you did, it’s just who you are - the great Luke Skywalker - you can’t escape that.”

“Mara was always pretty good at helping me forget.” Luke smiled wistfully, looking at that place beyond again. “She always made me feel just like anyone else, always willing to puncture my ego if necessary.”

Ben thought about the past year they’d spent together, how much his father had come alive when he’d joked with him, how they’d felt like any other father and son on a family trip rather than a journey through exile.

“Well, you know if you want someone to point out your mistakes, I’m your man,” Ben said with a grin. “Starting with that haircut, it’s at least twenty years out of date.”

“I’ll take that under advisement,” Luke said dryly, “and make sure we take a stylist on our next trip.”

“Promise me no immortal, soul-sucking tentacle monsters and I’m there.”

“With our luck next time there’ll be two,” Luke smiled, leaning over to punch Ben lightly in the shoulder.

“One for each of us then,” Ben gave an answering grin. “Looking forward to it.”

It felt good to laugh and joke with his son again, to help shake off the sadness that was always there under the surface. But this time Ben didn’t use the moment to deflect, he quickly sobered again, looking out into the dark sky above the glow of the city.

“Tell me something about Mom I don’t know.”

Luke was surprised at the question. Ben was blessed with a near-eidetic memory, and so probably recalled much about his mother that Luke did not. And yet Luke had the advantage of time - he’d been married to Mara for seven years before Ben had been born, and had known her for ten years before that.

“I can’t remember the last words she ever said to me,” Luke began after a moment’s thought. “I’ve tried to, but it escapes me no matter how long I’ve meditated on it, and search for the answer. But I remember the first - when she was working for Karrde and sensed me through the Force - she saved me, all the while thinking that she would kill me when she got the chance.”

Ben’s interest was clearly piqued. “What did she say?”

“It was over the comm, she said: unidentified starfighter, this is the freighter Wild Karrde. Do you need assistance ?”

“Ah.” Ben looked almost disappointed.

“Hardly profound, or even memorable,” Luke conceded. “And yet I do remember it, like it was yesterday. Funny how the mind works, at the time I would have had no reason to store than moment away, and never thought about it until after she died but there it was, as if it had been waiting thirty years for that moment, when I needed it.”

“Maybe it was more profound than you think,” Ben suggested, shifting his position to face Luke fully. “I mean, you did need her assistance, beyond the kind she was offering in that moment.”

“I suppose I did,” Luke said softly, surprised by Ben’s insight. “I still do, really.”

“You have me.” A muscle twitched Ben’s cheek. “I know it’s not the same, but I’m here for you Dad. Like you’ve always been for me, even when I didn’t understand or appreciate it.”

Luke rose to his feet, taking Ben’s hand and pulling him up and into a firm embrace. “I know, son,” he said, holding him tightly. “Thank you.”

When he pulled away, he cupped Ben’s cheek in one hand, like he used to do when the boy was small. There were tears in his son’s eyes, and he felt the tremor through the Force that he didn’t try to conceal.

“I heard someone say once that grief is the price we pay for love,” Luke said. “It may surprise you, Ben, to know that I once thought that price was too high, and decided to close myself off. Your mother of course told me what an idiot I was being, and said that I should never let my fear of losing anyone prevent myself from getting close to them. She gave me the courage to love her, and I am forever thankful for that.”

He swallowed heavily, the pain of his loss always there, ready to overtake him but kept at bay. “Even when those fears were realised, I knew that she was right, because I wouldn’t trade a single second of those happy moments I had with Mara to spare myself the pain now.”

“Me either.” Ben sniffed but managed a smile. “I just miss her.”

Luke embraced him again, and for perhaps the first time they shared their grief together, sorrow mingling through the Force. But somehow it the burden was shared, and therefore lighter to carry. Luke promised himself that he would make an effort to share more with Ben, to let his son know the woman she’d been before they were blessed with him, and in turn hope to hear some of Ben’s memories. Mara was still there, he realised, connecting them them blood and time and infinite love.

Ben pulled away and ducked his head, wiping his nose with his sleeve. “Are you coming to Aunt Leia’s?” he asked. “You know how she gets when we’re late.”

“In a few minutes,” Luke told him, needing a little while longer to himself. “I’ll see you there.”

“Okay,” Ben smiled and nodded. “I…love you, Dad.”

“I love you too, Ben,” Luke told him. “More than anything.”

He watched his son walk away, his step seeming a bit lighter. Luke turned back to the city beyond the roof, and the stars beyond that. The light breeze touched his face and brushed back his hair almost like a caress, and Luke spoke his wife’s name into the night, thinking of his son’s words.

He knew that he would never love another like he had loved Mara, but did that mean he would never love again at all? Luke knew that Force willing he could live for another fifty or sixty years – and that was a long time to be lonely.

And yet he wasn’t alone. Luke again pressed his hand to his chest, over his heart, and knew that he’d been wrong, before. It was as full as it had ever been.

Mara was still there, inside of him. She lived on in Ben. Her saw her in his niece, the Sword of the Jedi who moved so much like her in battle, style and technique she’d picked up from her Master, and in so many others Mara had taught, or lives she had touched. But mostly she lived on in his mind, in the Force which had formed an irrevocable connection that could not be severed even by death, reminding him of the truth.

If grief was the price one paid for love, then memory was the reward.

Mara Serena Safari Lodge, Kenya

“Nothing but breathing the air of Africa, and actually walking through it, can communicate the indescribable sensations”.- William Burchell

Mara Serene Safari Lodge resides within the Mara Triangle of the Masai Mara National Reserve. According to resources it is 320 kilometers and an approximately five hour-drive from Nairobi. (Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya).

Waking up to a perfect and cool welcome from the swimming pool in a lovely sunny weather, followed by an amazing drive through the Masai Mara National reserve witnessing wide range of animals for those who are animal lovers.

Discover the Kenya safari of your dreams, a vast, gently rolling landscape of acacia-specked grasslands darkened by migrating wildebeest herds. Mara Serena Safari Lodge invites you to a world where dramatic sights and experiences are enhanced by gracious service and five-star amenities. As the only safari lodge in the famed Mara Triangle, we offer a setting matched by few other hotels in the world: perched high on a bush-cloaked hill with sweeping views of the Savannah and the meandering shoreline of the Mara River.

Last but not the least in the “To Do” list is the Hot Air Balloon Safari during the dawn (Dawn Ballooning) over the river, plains and forests of Masai Mara, as well as witnessing migration of wildebeests across the plains.

The best season to visit is the long cool-dry season from July to October since there is no rain and therefore less dense and animals are easier to observe.

To know more information about this lovely holiday destination, accommodations, offers, holiday packages and much more you can visit the official website: https://www.serenahotels.com/serenamara/en/default.html

“I hope you have an experience that alters the course of your life because after Africa, nothing has ever been the same...”.- Suzanne Evans

Fascinating facts about Maasai Mara National Reserve:

The Maasai Mara is a major research center for the spotted hyena. The Mara was known as the Kingdom of Lions and these majestic and strong hunters dominate those grasslands. The BBC Television series titled "Big Cat Diary" is filmed in the Reserve and Conservation regions, using all the wildebeest migration in (JULY – OCTOBER) this really is actually the very best time to find this unbelievable movement of creatures. Additionally, December to February is an excellent occasion because it's drier and great for the Big Cats. African adventure company.

The ideal time to see creatures is at dawn or dusk.

Around 290,000 vacationers like Maasai Mara National Park each year. The Best African Safari Trip Advisor in Maasai Mara National Reserve is not the greatest conservation area in Kenya but it's by far the most famous one. The Maasai Mara National Reserve (also Called Maasai Mara and from the natives as The Mara) is a large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya; nearby with all the Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It's named in honor of the Maasai people (the ancestral people of this region ) as well as their description of the region when looked at from afar: "Mara," that is Maa (Maasai language) for"seen," an apt description for the groups of trees, scrub, savanna, and cloud shadows which indicate the region.

Masai Mara National Reserve stretches 1,510 square feet (580 square miles) and increases 1,500-2,170 meters (4920-7120 ft ) above sea level. As it was initially launched in 1961 for a wildlife refuge the Mara covered just 520 square kilometers (200 square kilometers ) of the present area all members of this"Large Five" (lion, leopard, African elephant, cape buffalo, and black rhinoceros)-and popular species such as zebra, giraffe, hyena, cheetah, eland, and gazelle are observed at the Maasai Mara.

Research financed by WWF and ran by ILRI between 1989 and 2003 tracked hoofed species at the Mara on a monthly basis and discovered that reductions were as large as 75 percent for giraffes, 80 percent for shared warthogs, 76 percent for hartebeest, and 67 percent for impala. The study blames the reduction of critters on improved human settlements in the vicinity of the book. The greater human population density contributes to an increased variety of grazing in the park along with an increase in poaching.

The Maasai are independent men and women who value ritual and tradition as an essential part of their daily lives. They respect themselves not only as citizens of the area but just as much part of the lifetime of their property as the property is part of their lives. Traditionally, the Maasai seldom search and live together with wildlife African Safaris instability, which can be a significant part of their faith. Lions and wildebeest play as significant a part in their own cultural beliefs, as do their very own herds of cows. This exceptional co-existence of wildlife and man makes this Maasai region among the planet's most unique wilderness areas. Hippos are plentiful from the Mara River because they are extremely big Nile crocodiles, who lay in wait a meal since the wildebeest cross their yearly search to find new pastures.

As from the Serengeti, the wildebeest would be the dominant inhabitants of the Maasai Mara, and their figures are estimated in the millions. Around July of every calendar year, these ungainly animals migrate north from the Serengeti plains seeking new pasture and return to the south around October.

The Great Migration is among the most impressive all-natural events globally, including some 1,300,000 wildebeest, 500,000 Thomson's gazelles, 200,000 zebras 97,000 Top along with 18,000 elands. Over 470 species of birds are identified in the park, a lot of which are migrants. Species like eagles, storks, and vultures are among the more than 50 distinct birds of prey.

You will find four chief varieties of topography from the Mara: Ngama Hills into the east with sandy land and leafy bushes enjoyed by black rhino, Escarpment forming the western border and climbing into a glorious plateau; Mara Triangle bordering the Mara River with lush grassland and acacia woodlands encouraging masses of match particularly migrating wildebeest; Central Plains forming the biggest aspect of the book, with scattered bushes and boulders on rolling grasslands Inspired from the plains game.

Ombeni African Safaris, as an African adventure company, provides private family-friendly safari accommodation facilities offering awe-inspiring wildlife experiences.

A Unique New Experience in the Maasai Mara with Angama Mara

Few places are as charged with imagination and myth as the Maasai Mara. Abutting Tanzania’s Serengeti Plains, this famous national reserve in Kenya is an endless expanse of savannah silhouetted with acacia trees, populated with abundant wildlife. It’s not just an iconic destination for the Great Migration, when a million wildebeest travel seasonally across the plains; the Maasai Mara is terrific spot for a safari year-round. It’s here where Angama Mara, a lodge overseen by experienced safari veteran Nicky Fitzgerald, will be unveiling a unique mobile tented camp in July 2020.

The Angama Safari Camp will offer an exclusive safari experience in a remote area of the southwestern Mara Triangle. What this means is that guests will have unparalleled access to the herds of the Great Migration and the predators that stalk them. (The Maasai Mara is prime “Big Five” territory.) Angama Safari Camp will be open seasonally to coincide with this big natural event; it will operate until the end of September, with dates in October available on request.

Angama Safari Camp aims to recreate the safari adventures of yesteryear, with candlelit dinners and campfire stories surrounded by the raw grandeur of the wilderness. The same team that created Angama Mara have collaborated on this project, with tent design conceived by Jay Allan and interiors by Annemarie Meintjes. Angama Safari Camp will have four tents, designed to maximize cross-ventilation, sleeping up to eight guests. Each will be equipped with a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. Note that a minimum three-night stay is required and children of all ages are welcome.

Hotel with transparent walls

Everyone wishes a hotel with a view, but an Icelandic entrepreneur has led his tourism business to a totally different level: he accommodates tourists in completely transparent, round and individual rooms. He did this to give customers the opportunity to admire the boreal aurora or just the starry sky from the comfort of the bed. A revolutionary idea for the field, which attracted public attention spectacularly, receiving countless praise from those who stayed there.

Five completely transparent spheres are the newest attraction in tourism. These unusual rooms accommodate tourists eager to see the boreal aurora without the Nordic cold. The five bubbles are located at a distance, each of them surrounded by a dense forest, so that the privacy of the tourists is assured. Also for this purpose, those staying there do not find the exact address until shortly before staying. Each room has everything needed for a bedroom, but the bathroom and the kitchen are common. Customers have to bring their food as well as sanitary items or towels. The entire structure is inflated through a silent ventilation system that freshens the air in the room about five times per hour so that no moisture is created. The system is also equipped with a thermostat, so that the indoor temperature is always at a comfortable level no matter how cold it is out. But interested visitors do not come just for boreal aurora, or to sleep under the stars. During the long Nordic summer days, they have the opportunity to sleep under ... the sun in the middle of the night. During this period, the bubbles are surrounded by countless species of birds and butterflies, which compensates for the lack of stars.

Customers who are keen on such an adventure have to pay about 135 pounds a night. and it seems that there are many interested customers, because the owners have announced the intention to expand to keep up with the demand. At the same time, they have expanded their services by organizing walking tours through the most popular tour of Istalnde - the Golden Circle.

Maasai Mara National Reserve -7th wonder of the world, Maasai, Big5 & wildebeest migration

Maasai Mara National Reserve -7th wonder of the world, Maasai, Big5 & wildebeest migration Masai Mara National Reserve is one of the most popular tourism destinations in Kenya- Africa. The reserve is located in the Great Rift Valley in primarily open grassland. Wildlife tends to be most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. The Masai Mara is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. There have been some 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles and over 400 birds species recorded on the reserve. Nowhere in Africa is wildlife more abundant, and it is for this reason a visitor hardly misses to see the big five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino).

Mara Triangle

The Mara is known as one of the finest wildlife destinations in the World. There is an excellent chance of seeing the Big Five Climatic conditions – Altitude 5,300 feet (1,600 metres). Rainy season from November through May, with peak rainfall in December-January and April-May. Dry season from June-November. Often sunny mornings with cloud build-up in the afternoons – during the rains this develops into thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening. Max temperatures up to 30°C and min temperatures around 20°C. Wildlife – The Mara is known as one of the finest wildlife destinations in the World. There is an excellent chance of seeing the Big 5, cheetah, serval, hyena, bat-eared foxes, black-backed and side-striped jackals, hippo, crocodile, baboons, warthog, topi, eland, Thompson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, impala, waterbuck, oribi, reed-buck, zebra. During the migration (July to November) huge numbers of wildebeest move in. Access – The Mara Triangle is serviced by two all-weather airstrips– Mara Serena and Kichwa Tembo. The main road access into the Triangle is through Narok and Sekenani Gate. Accommodation – Mara Serena (150 beds that have luxury bedding and cozy pillows) and Little Governors’ Camp (36 beds luxury bedding and cozy pillows) are the only two lodges situated in the Triangle. Kichwa Tembo, Mpata Club, Olonana, Mara Siria and Kilima Camp are situated on the periphery but use the Triangle. Best time to visit – Peak season is between July and October, during the migration. Early November and February can also offer excellent game viewing. Activities – Game viewing, camping, night game drives, visits to Masai cultural villages, ballooning, bush dinner, lunch and breakfast. As wedding destination in the country, it makes for a spot for a destination wedding photographer to engage different scenes with clients. LANDSCAPE Masai Mara ecosystem contains some 25% of what is left of Kenyan wildlife. The estimate says that around 70% of Kenya’s wildlife lives outside national parks and reserves. Thus; the need for new role models preserving the Mara wildlife, on private land is paramount. Naboisho plays that role today! Africa has lost some 95-98% of its most iconic mammals over the last hundred year or so, elephants, rhinos, lions, and cheetah. WWF estimate that the world will lose 2/3 of its vertebras in the incredibly short period 1970-2020, ie 50 years. Some 70% of the world’s ecosystem is under stress. Loss of habitat is the main reason for this decimation. WILDLIFE AND MIGRATION The Mara is perhaps best known for the Great Migration, which takes place every year July to September. During these months the yellow savannah is dotted black by more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebra and antelopes that migrate from the Serengeti to the Mara in search of food and water. Mara and Serengeti parks are interdependent wildlife havens. This is where the world’s largest multi-species migration takes place. The movement is, centered around the wildebeest migrating from Serengeti into Masai Mara during the dry period in Tanzania, crossing the mighty Mara River on their way. The Great Wildebeest Migration rightfully deserves its standing as one of the natural world’s most astonishing spectacles. Compromising of more than 1.5 million wildebeest, zebras and antelopes, the Great Migration constitutes the last surviving multi-species migration on the planet. THE GREAT MIGRATION SEASON From the end of July onwards, millions of freshly arrived brown and black dots scatter the great plains of the Masai Mara National Reserve, making this Natural Wonder of the World even more wondrous until they wander back in December. The life cycle of the wildebeest is a snapshot of the circle of life of all living creatures. The wildebeest spend their lives wandering, unwearyingly trekking between the Serengeti in the South to the Masai Mara in the North. Every sequence in a wildebeest’s life happens in accordance with Mother Earth. Their migratory routes are determined by the rain patterns; they wander in constant pursuit of water and fresh grass. Similarly, their calving instincts are timed to the movements of the moon, resulting in a three-week-long birth fest on the Serengeti plains in February. The comings and goings of the wildebeest also shape the lives of many other species. For the predators of the Masai Mara, the arrival of the wildebeest marks the beginning of a time of feasting and prosperity. The Big Cats, in particular, thrive during the migration season. The abundance of available prey means that the lions, cheetah and leopards are able to grow strong and produce healthy offspring.

The Travel Corporation (TTC) and its 30 award-winning brands announces the launch of their 2018 #TTCTOP10 list of trips, showcasing their amazing global collection of brands and destinations. The family-owned organization, now in its fourth generation, offers over 1,000 trips spanning 60 countries across 7 continents, appealing to every generation and style of traveller. This curated list of immersive trips takes into account that travellers no longer want to simply travel further but seek journeys that are personally fulfilling and return home transformed with a positive perspective and an expanded view of the world. They also know that guests want to connect with other like-minded travellers to discover and share these experiences together, to form ‘travel tribes’, which TTC has facilitated in creating for decades.

“For our 2018 #TTCTOP10 list, we are showcasing several of our most transformative travel experiences. Our guests are seeking worldwide journeys that are not only experiential but also experiences which cultivate deeper connections with the places they are exploring and meaningful interactions with nature, wildlife, local people and cultures, said Travel Corporation Chief Executive Officer, Brett Tollman. “Our not-for-profit, TreadRight Foundation is also celebrating its 10 year anniversary in 2018, and its sustainable tourism principles have guided our amazing brands and socially engaged team members to travel with purpose by giving back to the local communities and places we visit across the globe.”
