Our nature walks start directly from the Mara Siria Camp typically in the early morning or afternoon to ensure a comfortable experience for our guests. During midday, temperatures rise significantly, making walks more challenging and reducing wildlife activity. In the cooler hours of the morning and late afternoon, animals are more active, increasing the chances of spotting various species while enjoying the golden light of sunrise or sunset.
We offer a shorter 45 minutes photography and bird watching walk in the vicinity of the camp and longer nature walks or a traditional “Masai Walk” of 2-3 hrs for our more adventurous guests. On a guided nature walk, visitors can:
- Enjoy breathtaking panoramic views over the vast Mara plains
- Spot plains game like zebras, antelopes and giraffes – if you are lucky up-close!
- Observe a rich variety of birds and their unique characteristics
Our traditional Masai Walk is a unique and immersive experience that allows visitors to explore the African wilderness through the eyes of the Masai people, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries. On these walks with Masai guides guests can:
- Learn, how to identify animal footprints, droppings, and other signs of wildlife movement
- Discover how the Masai use indigenous plants for medicine, food, and survival
- Get Insights into ancient techniques for navigating the wild and coexisting with predators
- Hear fascinating Masai legends, customs, and the significance of their warrior traditions
A nature walk at the Siria Escarpment more than just a trek – it’s an opportunity to connect with nature and experience the untouched beauty of the Mara, away from the crowds and vehicles and understand the deeply rooted Masai culture in an authentic way.
