hi and welcome back today I wanted to talk about the maasai mara because I mean we are just in July
august and this is a time when there's a lot of tourists coming from different countries to
Kenya to visit the maasai mara because it's one of the wonders of the world it's
a recognized heritage and what happens during this season is that we have
very hundreds of thousands of wildebeests that move from Tanzania and cross over to the maasai
mara and it's not been fully explained but it's really spectacular to watch just to highlight a
bit from my last trip to the mara it was really nice we stayed at the Kisoro lodge and of course
keekorok is one of the like the more historical you know hotels that you have at the mara so it's
a wonderful hotel and I really loved it so much I think one of the best night and the best
sleep that I had in my life or in a hotel was at the mara
yeah so Keekorok lodge of course it's not too cheap not too expensive but what I love about the
maasai mara is that you can always get the variety from you know the cheap camps all the way to
the high-end you know stays depending on your budget so I really love that about the mara and
in addition to that of course if you go to the mar right
national park you're going to see all the animals you're going to see all the big five
although the time that we visited we never got to see the rhino but we got to see the lions
we got to see a lot of elephants we got to see a leopard we got to see even you know there's talks
you even get to see the what hog you can see the crocodiles of course in the river in the mara
river so the famous mara river where the wildlife is crossed and of course it's a matter of life
and death the wildebeest so this is something very spectacular that people come all the way to watch
so at the moment you'll also see cheetahs antelopes of course the lion did I forget the lion
of course you'll see the lion you'll not just see one lion you'll see prides of lions so yeah
all the animals all the animals that you can think of you'll be able to see but maybe just to
say that you're not gonna see the gorilla there's no gorilla in the maasai mara sorry to disappoint
thank
I think as well that I would
and sometimes even they cause so much traffic jam like you have to sit there and
you know you have to stop and wait for them to pass
so
you
do
buffalo
wow a whole heart of zebras hundreds and hundreds of them
walking from place
and also, on the other side
more and more and more and more I tried to show you I tried I tried I tried I tried
okay so these are all the zebras crossing we don't know where they're coming from
hey
okay
so
for the mara we went there as part of a group so with the group of friends and also as a as part
of a joining package because there are lots of those packages within Kenya and so many agencies
that can take you to the mara so they're quite affordable and if you don't mind sharing a vehicle
and with other people then you're able to just go into a cheap drive to maasai mara maasai mara
is a in narok which is one of the cities of Kenya and it's quite it's quite an easy drive about
three hours and of course on the road it's quite scenic you're able to see the great rift valley
and to just experience a bit of the country so I would highly recommend this visit
then because we were staying at the keekorok lodge one unique thing about the cake rock lodge is that
you know it has this walkway where you're able to go to some you know like some bar a place that you
can relax in the evening and there's a fantastic view of hippos because they have hippos that
are resident at the at the hotel so it's really spectacular I think that's one thing that I find
quite unique about keekorok lodge in addition to all the other you know nice stuff about keekorok
is that you can be able to see the hippos so if you've never seen a hippo or you'd like
to see hippos and not just one not just two but quite a number I think Keekorok is a place to be
because they want to make sure
And of course the rooms the rooms were so fantastic the sheets were clean and crisp oh
my goodness one of the most serene nights I’ve had in my entire life was at the mara and at Keekorok
so I would highly recommend the place and of course the food was nice but well to me it was a
bit meh yeah but it was nice it was well presented those variety and really yeah was a nice place to
be yeah and then most of the agencies that would take you to the mara the tourism agents they would
at least they would ensure that you get a lot of game drives like I remember we had so many game
drives for us we were so exhausted because when we go on a holiday we also want to just relax
just chill use the spa so they had game rise in the morning game rise in the afternoon so it's
just basically you to say I’m done I can I can't do this anymore I’m a bit tired I’m done yeah but
really it's wonderful and if you've never been to the mara I would really recommend
that you visit the mara and you can visit this August before the wilderness migration finishes
