Is a Masai Mara Safari Worth the Hype? (Honest Opinion)

Today we're journeying from Nairobi to the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the country's flagship wildlife destination and one of the best places in the world to go on safari... or so we're told.

I want to find out if the Masai Mara is worth the hype.

Join me as I spend 2 days exploring the Masai Mara, searching for the famous Big Five.

This is the best video of Masai Mara and Kenyan safaris I've seen! Impressive quality. And omg SO MANY CUBS and cheetah cubs!!! I've been to Masai Mara for two days last year, and I did not see as much. But we did see a lot of babies. It was December. Incredible work, thanks for sharing!

Wow! Amazing video! Great editing to keep the main thing the main thing - the safari experience, and cutting out the minor details. So lucky for you to see the black rhino! The cheetah mother with the four cubs was definitely a cute sighting! Your video just transported us to the Mara and have a nearly first hand experience of the safari! Keep up your great work! Thanks for showing us the Mara at its best!

I was there 4 months ago & also have great pics of the cheetah & her 4 cubs.
A rare sight theses days, keeping that many cubs alive.
Asante to the local Rangers who respectfully guard her family.

The video has justified the title, you will find the hype is real just when you are halfway through the video. The edit, audio and the narration made it an interesting watch <3 <3.
