Ever noticed there are two different ways to spell “Masai”? So which one is it, Masai Mara National Reserve or Maasai Mara National Reserve? For all the wanderlust travellers out there that want to be in-the-know when you set foot on the African continent – the correct answer is indeed Masai Mara. The “Maasai” are the fascinating Maa-speaking semi-nomadic people of East Africa.
A famously hospitable culture, the Maasai are world renowned for their brightly coloured shukkas (traditional cloth), distinctive beaded jewellery, fearless cohabitation with the Big Five, as well as their uncanny ability to jump higher than Michael Jordan himself. You really must make time to meet the Maasai, they are incredible people. In fact, you might have already met the two wonderful Maasai Mamas at &BEYOND Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.
