A bush dinner is considered dining under the African stars. At Endeem we organize bush dinners to take place in scenic locations within the Mara plains. If dining at the resort proves a tad too tame, you can head out to wilder settings and enjoy sumptuous bush breakfasts and dinners in the bush including sundowners within sight of a lion or a herd of elephants or the hippos snorting in the river below. It’s the ultimate African appetizer.

For our bush dining, our guests will find a table and chairs have already been set up and that a campfire, lanterns, and bush kitchen await. Our staff carefully serve guests with freshly prepared gourmet food prepared by the executive chef using fresh local produce with international influences and accompanied with fine wines. To make it an unforgettable African dining experience, a group of local Maasai men and women sing and dance providing background entertainment that blends with the sounds of the untamed bush.

Here at the Mara you’re bound to have plenty of chance to interact with Maasai guides and staff, and village and school visits are usually an optional activity, perhaps as an alternative to an afternoon game drive. Our staff have developed positive relationships with the local communities and fees paid for such visits go direct to the elders or village council. Living a semi-nomadic lifestyle, the Maasai tribe has modernised in some ways but still adheres to many aspects of their traditional culture. Established as fierce warriors, their lively cultural dance, vibrant clothing and beautifully crafted handiwork are recognised worldwide.
