Planning for a Masai Mara Safari? Know What to Pack For

Masai Mara safari tours are truly exhilarating, particularly for the inexperienced. The copious wildlife merged with the natural splendor of the wilderness is really breathtaking. However, to experience the best of Masai Mara you should be careful about what you are packing. From my personal experience, here in this post I’ve explained some essentials to pack when you are getting ready for an adventure in the wilderness of Kenya. So let’s check them out:

Luggage & bags:

To explore game drives, you’ll wish something that can keep away the dust. A plain bag with a zipper may be adequate for most  activities. This’s especially great to take into account when you want to suddenly stop at a wildlife where you’ll possibly wish to get your DSLR camera out. Something with several small zippers is possibly great to keep the whole thing in the same pocket – so that you can grab thing quickly anytime you want.


Weather gear, shoes or clothing:

As stated earlier, you’ll get filthy while exploring game drives you may wish a dust mask to cover your mouth and nose throughout the worst of the dirty situations.
Kenya boasts a very warm climate during the day, but at night the temperature drops significantly. You must bring some heavy winter wear for  the cold nights. Heavy duty boots or shoes are also recommended to walk freely in the wilderness of Kenya.

Toiletries & medical equipment:

Game drives go rather far from any toilet amenities and the toilets at the pools don’t have tissue papers. Hence, you may wish to bring your personal toiletries. There is not much to conceal behind, so you may wish to bring a towel or blanket big enough for somebody to hold to offer supplementary privacy. Sunscreen, moisturizer and lip balm should be carried to avoid the extreme dryness of Kenyan weather.

Photo gear:
Telephoto Equipment is rather wanted here. The scenery can be exceptional, but you have possibly come here to witness animals, and in several cases they’re far off. Filters, and especially a UV filter, would be great too. Or else some of the remote scenic landscape disappears when you capture your image. Very fine resolution film would be great if you require to enlarge the picture a lot. An extremely fine digital camera with maximum pixels might provide you adequate resolution, but the best films still offer a few more dots per inch to work with.


A pair of  binoculars is always recommended to experience the best of Kenya safaris.
