There is a somewhat primal joy about eating a meal in the raw wilderness of the African savannah, more so if the setting happens to be in the Masai Mara, where your view may be framed by stunning landscapes and magnificent wildlife. Special meals are, for this reason, a popular activity during a safari in the Masai Mara, and specific options are listed below
Picnic Lunch: Usually arranged during a full-day game outing in the reserve, so that one doesn’t have to go back to the lodge or camp for lunch, the meal itself is in the form of packed lunch boxes, which are provided by the camp/lodge by prior arrangement the night before to allow them adequate time to prepare the meal boxes. Though the meal itself is typically simple and even satisfying, the often scenic setting in the wild makes it truly a memorable meal. Most properties in the Masai Mara provide this meal at no extra cost since the lunch is covered in-house.
Bush Breakfast & Dinners
These are more elaborate meals, and in the case of the Bush dinner, this could also be an event in itself around a bonfire with entertainment such as light music or tribal dance performances. Bush meals are held at designated sites within the Masai Mara, and these are generally located outside of but very near the respective Lodges or Camps. Menus can range from multi-course fine cuisine to more casual bush barbeque meals. Prices for these special meals range from $40 per person all the way to $100 per person for more luxurious bush meals.
Sundowners
Ending your day on Safari with your favorite drink in hand, the company of friends or loved ones is amazing, and before your eyes is a very special experience. Many hotels in the Masai Mara offer sundowners either pre-included in your stay or as optional add-on activities.
Bush meals in the Masai Mara can be organised for a variety of group sizes, including those planning on going for their honeymoon in the Masai Mara; they may also cater for certain special dietary options. Contact us in case you require specific information on cuisine and dining in the Masai Mara.
