Masai Mara Bush Camping Tour & Safari Packages
In Masai Mara, bush camping is an outdoor accommodation where a mobile camp is tucked in the riverine forest, thus bringing tourists closer to the wild during their Safari. The Masai Mara national reserve has public and private campsites for tourists to explore different experiences and do various activities. Tourists who enjoy solitude and want to relax and enjoy the surrounding will always prefer to go camping when they visit the Mara. The private campsites always require prior booking for the reservation to be made; on the other hand, the public campsites do not require prior booking by the tourists. Five private campsites are open to the public, and the other three are reserved for professionals and those doing research work. Both public and private campsites charge their rates according to varying factors such as age, nationality, or for students. When tourists visit the Mara tents, they use a lot of equipment like the table and chairs, gas cylinders and the burner, folding foam mattresses, headlights, plates, cups, and cutlery, among other things. Tourists can choose to cook for themselves or hire a cook to do the cooking as they enjoy their adventure. The District Security Committee usually handles the safety of camping tourists in Mara. This security personnel ensures tourist safety since the campsites are not fenced. In the private campsites, there is a need for security for all the campers as they are provided with two rangers, but on the public campsite, you can decide whether to have security or not. The Trans Mara County council sets the ranger fees that are paid when they offer security to the campers. Some campsites require tourists to bring water and pick up trash to conserve the environment. The best time to visit the Masai Mara is from June to November, when there are many tourists, and also the tourist can witness the great wildebeest migration.
Globally, Masai Mara is known for its remarkable wildlife, and it is also the best National Reserve in Africa. The Masai Mara lies in the Great Rift Valley escarpment, with wildlife free to move within and outside the park. Mara covers a landmass of approximately 1500km square, with abundant animal, plant, and bird species. Mara is also known for its excellent wildebeest migration, occurring annually from June to November. During these periods, the beautiful yellow Savannah is always dotted black by the animals that cross the Mara River in search of greener pasture and water. Mara has four types of terrain. The Ngama Hills are usually bushy and sandy to the east, and black rhinos love to stay here. To the west is the Oloololo escarpment that upsurges to a beautiful plateau, and then the Mara triangle that borders the Mara River with stretching grassland and Acacia woodland with scattered bushes and extensive grassland that holds a national reserve.
Mara is an amazing place to tour, covered by extensive golden grassland, thick bushes, and some extraordinarily shaped trees. Its nature is superb, giving seasoned safari travelers, filmmakers, and researchers definite Kenya adventures. The excellent wide-open golden grassland of the Mara is a large part of the national reserve with endless plains with no human structure in sight. Masai Mara plains are the perfect place to watch the sunrise and sunset, the big cats as they chase their prey, and also an excellent place to view all the other resident animals in Mara plains. Apart from the plains, there is also a rich green riverine forest with one of the Mara large rivers as Mara River. This river usually overflows and bursts its banks during the rainy season. During the dry season, it remains the primary water source for all the animals and vegetation in the Masai Mara ecosystem.
