Overview

Our exclusive Kosher Safari in Masai Mara offers an unrivaled adventure that caters to your dietary needs while immersing you in the wonders of the African wilderness.

The Masai Mara attractions include:

Great Wildebeest Migration: Perhaps the most famous attraction, the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles from the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to the Masai Mara is a spectacular sight. Visitors can witness river crossings where these animals brave crocodile-infested waters.

Big Five: The Masai Mara is home to the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceroses. Visitors have excellent chances of spotting these iconic African animals during game drives. 

Landscape: The Masai Mara's landscape is stunning, characterized by vast plains, rolling hills, and acacia trees dotting the savannah. The Mara River meanders through the reserve, providing a lifeline for wildlife and creating picturesque scenes.

Maasai Culture: The reserve is named after the Maasai people, who inhabit the area. Visitors can learn about their rich culture and traditions by visiting Maasai villages and interacting with the locals.

Birdwatching: With over 450 bird species recorded in the reserve, including raptors, waterbirds, and migratory species, birdwatchers will find plenty to admire in the Masai Mara.

Hot Air Balloon Safaris: A unique way to experience the Masai Mara is through a hot air balloon safari. Floating above the savannah at sunrise provides panoramic views of the landscape and wildlife below.

You will also get to stay in handpicked luxury safari lodges that provide the perfect blend of comfort and authenticity. Each lodge is meticulously selected to ensure adherence to strict kosher guidelines without compromising on style or service.  Our expert guides will take you on amazing game drives through the vast plains of Masai Mara, where you'll witness incredible sights such as the Great Wildebeest Migration, lion prides hunting in the early morning, and herds of elephants grazing in the golden savannah.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that you won't want to miss.

Kosher Food

Kosher food in Africa is certified by the Beth Din of South Africa which is the Jewish religious court responsible for ensuring that food and other products meet the standards of Jewish dietary laws.

Stainless steel pots and pans are boiled and torched clean between each meal or for a nominal fee new pots, pans, plates, and cutlery/flatware will be supplied and be inspected by you when you check into the safari lodge or camp, or if you prefer you can bring in your own pots & pans.  After every use, they are washed in a special designated area.  During your stay, you are more than welcome to inspect the kitchen to ensure you are pleased with how your meals are being prepared.

Deluxe Option

At our approved Kosher Safari Lodges, Pareve meals will be prepared fresh on-site by chefs who have been trained in kosher catering, and at your request, kosher milk products as well as kosher meat from a Mehadrin Commission Kosher Butchery will be brought in.

Private & Exclusive

A Mashgiach who is Shomer Shabbat and has completed the Mashgiach kashrut course will be flown into the safari lodge.  If the lodge doesn't have a dedicated kosher kitchen, he will set up a temporary separated kitchen with new cooking utensils & equipment as well as import the Kosher approved ingredients including Chalav Yisrael & Mehadrin meat as well as shabbos candles and fragrance for havdalah.  He will supervise all the cooking.

If needed we can also get a private Jewish Kosher chef from a recognized kashrut authority to accompany him.  Both of them are very involved in the Jewish community in South Africa and work with full permission of their overseeing Rabbi.
