If you have not checked it out yourself, then a tailor-made African safari tour is right for you. Here are a few things you should not forget to do on your African safari tour in Kenya:

Use your foot to explore the open Savannah:

Get connected with your spirit of adventure once more and follow the footsteps of historic explorers & local experts on a once-in-a-lifetime guided walking safari. Experience the real adventure without the sound of a safari vehicle, breathe in the fresh air, witness the never-ending horizon & admire the African soil on foot. 

Go for a hot air balloon safari to get an aerial view:

Get up early in the morning & board a life-changing hot air balloon safari on top of the gigantic Mara plains. Ascent peacefully & relish the stunning bird’s eye view of each animal underneath (the great wildebeest migration if you are fortunate). Getting an aerial view is a remarkable experience that ends with a memorable, appetizing champagne buffet in the center of the Mara. 

Opt for a community visit to interact with the Masai people:

No African safari tour ...
... would be accomplished without a genuine cultural experience. The African safari in Kenya gets you very close to the absorbing Maasai folks. They’ll invite you into their mud & stick manyattas and witness their pastoral world & time-honored traditions. 

Don’t miss a horseback safari:

Like the old explorers, this is a fascinating way to discover the Mara. It's a new way to see the vast landscape without the obnoxious sound of safari trucks. Just imagine galloping past herds of zebras, giraffes and if the time is perfect you may even come across the herds of Great migration. 

Witness the sunset with the Masai Warriors:

Drive to witness the most amazing sundowners overlooking the massive Mara plains, and also the famous Serengeti in the distance. Observe the sun gently dipping over the horizon and the Maasai Warriors performing their classical song & dance. 

Observe the thundering roars of the great migration:

No doubt one of the fascinating wonders of the natural world, the great wildebeest migration is the annual trek of 2 million plant-eating animals across the Mara/Serengeti ecosystem. Though massive groups of roaring Gnus can be witnessed throughout the year, the famous exhilarating Mara River crossing (July-October) is an absolute must for any wildlife enthusiast.  

Conclusion:

Leading tour operators in Kenya believe that the best African safari tours are something tailored to your dream. For most tourists keen on African wildlife viewing, a visit to Masai Mara throughout the migration time is adequate to meet their safari thirst. Driving through the bushes of this wildlife sanctuary may itself be a memorable experience for some people. A reliable tour operator is all you need to fulfill your dream of witnessing the Masai Mara and the opulence of wildlife and its natural scenic features.
