- Arrive at Mara Chui lodge in time for lunch. Settle into your accommodation, which offers comfort and essentials while staying close to nature.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is a safari destination that is hard to beat. Indeed, if you’ve been dreaming of an African safari, the image you have in mind is probably very close to the Masai Mara. This is quintessential Africa: wide open savannah, with herds of grazers moving along the horizon, stopping in the shade of isolated acacia trees in the heat of the day. You’ll get to see your fair share of predators too. Lion and cheetah are common, but finding a leopard requires a bit more patience. Thinking of booking a 3-day Masai Mara safari? Here are some answers to frequently asked questions that might help your planning.
