One user, Bahati joked, “Hao wamaasai hata labda hawajui uyo ni nan.”

Attacking Martial added, “Solanke sounds like a Maasai name.”

Ankunda Precious Viola asked, “Even Saliba is in Morocco, Raya in TZ, Solanke in Kenya. Now what’s wrong with Uganda, yet we are EPL fans?”

Emacar Omuse said, “Manchester United fans we are not happy.”

Maasai Mara has long been a global tourist magnet, drawing celebrities from all over the world.

Some notable visitors include Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who toured parts of Kenya, including Nairobi and reportedly the Mara, in 2016.

Hollywood stars Tony Jaa, Michael Jai White, and Ron Perlman also visited the Mara in 2014 while promoting their film Skin Trade.

Even Arsenal’s number one goalkeeper, David Raya, was recently spotted vacationing in Tanzania’s Serengeti.

Solanke’s visit underscores Kenya’s growing reputation as a prime holiday destination for global stars.

It also highlights the powerful intersection of sports, culture, and travel.

As more celebrities opt for East Africa to unwind and reconnect with nature, Solanke’s viral moment becomes a symbol of how the wild beauty and warm hospitality of local communities can leave a lasting impression, even on international football icons.
