ACTIVITIES AT Mara Mara Tented Lodge
Game Drives
The highlight of any stay at Mara Mara Tented Lodge is the game drives. The lodge offers both early morning and afternoon game drives, guided by expert rangers who know the reserve’s wildlife and ecosystems intimately. These drives allow guests to encounter a variety of wildlife, from the iconic Big Five (lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos) to cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and an array of bird species. The Mara is also known for being one of the best places to witness the Great Migration of wildebeests and zebras, with thousands of animals crossing the Mara River in an annual spectacle.
Hot Air Balloon Safaris
For those seeking a bird’s-eye view of the Maasai Mara, the lodge offers hot air balloon safaris. This activity begins early in the morning, as the balloon rises into the sky at dawn, giving guests the chance to witness the Mara’s wildlife and sweeping landscapes from a spectacular vantage point. After the flight, guests are treated to a bush breakfast in the heart of the reserve, an unforgettable way to start the day.

The walks are designed to give guests a deeper understanding of the environment and the delicate balance of life in the reserve.
