Good to know about Kenya & Masai Mara: This is a large nature reserve in southwestern Kenya, and actually a continuation of the famous Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. The area got its name from the people who live in the area (Masai) and what they have for generations called the area: “Mara”, which in Masai language means “spotted”. A good description of a landscape where trees, shrubs, savannah and shadows from clouds form a “spotted” image.

Good to remember: In the Masai Mara, water is in short supply, so drink and use it with care and respect. The Masai are a proud people, always ask before you photograph. Bring notes in smaller denominations to be able to buy local crafts and the like in the small communities. How to greet the people you meet? In the same way that we in the Western world do – you take hands.

Bring a small backpack to be able to bring water, binoculars, camera or other personal belongings on the excursions.
