Is worth taking safari tours to Masai Mara in Kenya?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The first 24 hours of this trip are amazing (the rest is pretty good too but it was the first 24 hours I remember the most.) We drove towards the Masaai Mara and stopped to camp overnight in the middle of nowhere. The trip to the Masaai village was fascinating and very sensitively managed. I loved investigating the goat and sheep pen!
Then we slept to the sound of hyenas, safe in the knowledge that two Masaai warriors were guarding our tents, and in the morning we had an al fresco breakfast of fabulous proportions whilst the monkeys swung through the trees around us - magical!
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Believe that it will be cold in the evenings! My fleece was invaluable but I would have given anything to have had a pair of jeans or thicker trousers with me.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
By its very nature, game drives can not be good for the environment and I was a little concerned about where all the water at our second campsite in the Masaai Mara came from. But this holiday's real strength is its commitment to the local people who work directly and indirectly for the company.
The guides told us that it was one of the best companies to work for and the cultural insight that you gain from this trip is phenomenal - definitely better than a bog standard driving around the Mara trip!
4. Any other comments?
It was brilliant. Thanks for the great job you all do at responsible travel - you are definitely improving the ethics of holidaying!"
