Activities
Game drives, the Mara after dark, Maasai culture and slow evenings at camp — arranged on request
On Request
Sausage Tree is about a 5-minute drive from the entrance to Maasai Mara National Reserve, so game drives fit easily into your day. Between drives there is time to swim, stretch, create, meet the local community or sit by the fire. Tell us what interests you and we will help plan the rest.

Safari & Wildlife
From early drives in the national reserve to quiet nights watching a waterhole, these are the ways to see the Mara’s wildlife.
Wildlife
The entrance to Maasai Mara National Reserve is about 5 minutes from camp, which makes early starts easy. Head out while the animals are active and, depending on the season and animal movements, look for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, buffalo and antelope.
Ask about arrangements in advance
After sunset, head into Nashulai, a private conservancy, with a guide to watch wildlife at night and learn about the local ecosystem and conservation work. Past sightings include buffalo and spotted hyenas, including hyenas feeding on wildebeest.
A hide overlooking a waterhole. Main lights are switched off and only low outdoor lighting stays on, to reduce disturbance to wildlife. Wait quietly and watch the water after dark — spotted hyenas sometimes come to drink. Wine and snacks can be reserved in advance and are priced separately.
Climb the tower for a higher view over the surrounding grassland, hillsides and camp. A fine spot for sunset or for scanning for distant animals, and an easy short stop in a day of other activities.
Learn basic bush knowledge and safety awareness with guidance. Content and difficulty are adjusted to the people taking part.
At Camp
Time between game drives is part of the stay. Unwind by the pool, move gently at sunset or make something of your own.
Wellbeing
Gentle stretching, breathing and basic yoga in the early evening, arranged for your group or your stay. Intensity, age suitability and instruction are confirmed when you book.
Swim, relax, take photos or simply watch the sun go down from the shared pool. Drinks and snacks can be arranged on request — please check whether they are included in your quote.
A pool get-together for friends or small groups. Group size, timing, music, food and drink can be agreed in advance.
Create work inspired by the surroundings. Group sessions can include painting, creative workshops and land art. Format, materials and guidance are confirmed when booking.
Culture & Community
Visits and workshops arranged with the local Maasai community, women craftspeople and educators, for families, educational trips and groups.
Culture
Visit a local Maasai village to learn about traditional homes, daily life, dress and community culture, and to talk with the people who live there. What you see, and when, depends on the community’s plans for the day.
Learn about teaching and skills training at a local college, and exchange ideas about local talent and community development. The visit and conversations follow what the college is able to host.
Learn basic beadwork from local women craftspeople — how colours are chosen and how a piece is made. Materials, what you make and whether you can take it home are confirmed when booking.
Food & Evenings
Meals in the open, a taste of home from the kitchen, and evenings by the fire under a dark Mara sky.
Dining
Lunch outdoors at a chosen spot on the plains. Menu, transport and timing are agreed in advance, and plans may change with the weather and site conditions.
Visit a farm to learn about growing crops, raising animals and organic, circular farming, then sit down to a farm meal based on what is available that day. Ask about nature education or other workshops when you book.
A different way to eat in the Maasai Mara. Chinese hot pot, an outdoor barbecue or dim sum can be arranged on request — good for families, friends and teams. Menu and format depend on group size and the ingredients available.
Gather around the bonfire after dark to read poems, share favourite passages or read your own work. No fixed format — more a relaxed evening conversation, well suited to teams, art-themed trips or friends travelling together.
On clear nights, away from city lights, look up at the Maasai Mara sky and the Milky Way from around camp. Watch at your own pace, try some night-sky photography, or carry on after the bonfire.
Tell us your dates, group size and the experiences you are interested in. We will confirm availability and prices before anything is booked.
