During these 5 days of safari and Maasai immersion in Kenya, we will be staying inside the Lemek conservancy in the Maasai Mara. It is one of the few areas in the world where the Maasai still live alongside wild animals. Even though it is part of the Maasai Mara, it does not belong to the National Reserve, and this makes Lemek one of the best areas to see wildlife: there are far fewer tourists, the animals live more peacefully, and there are practically no lodges compared to other areas of the Kenyan savannah.
This area is inhabited and managed by Maasai, to do a safari here you must be staying in the area, and to do so, it is necessary to do it through a Maasai community, or be in a lodge that makes use of the lands of this tribe contributing for it. If you are looking for exclusivity, flee from crowded places, want to do a safari hand in hand with those who live here and contribute to the territory where you go, and have time to get to know the area, these 5 days of safari in Lemek are your best option.
In these 5 days of safari in Kenya we will do:
- Several safaris in Lemek Conservancy (Maasai Mara).
- Watch the sunset by the Mara River as the hippos come out of the water to feed during the night.
- Camping overnight in a unique and exclusive spot for us, with breakfast by the river the next morning.
- Walking safari surrounded by animals.
