On our Masai Mara safari, we are taken to a different world. This is a world of majestic mammals, dazzling birds, sweeping grasslands, flat-topped trees and breathtaking sunsets. We also get to appreciate this world from the comforts of a traditional, luxury safari camp. Masai Mara National Reserve is probably the most famous wildlife park in Africa. It covers an area of 1500 square kilometres, is located at approximately 2000 metres above sea level and provides refuge for 95 species of mammals, amphibians and reptiles, as well as 485 species of birds. "The Mara" is also renowned for the part it plays in the seasonal migration from the Serengeti Plains, where herds of 200,000 zebras, 300,000 Thomson's gazelles and 1.3 million wildebeests move northwards following the annual rains.
This four day safari is an enticing way to experience the best of the Masai Mara in a short space of time! Our intimate safari camp takes only 24 guests and offers true ambience on a large private concession area just outside the reserve proper. The ensuite safari tents capture the true nature of the safari experience, whilst still providing a good level of comfort. We utilise 4WD safari vehicles for our game drives and enjoy guided game walks with our specialist local guides. Full-day game drives inside Masai Mara allow for better wildlife sightings, as we have the time and means to venture into the depths of the reserve. Our private concession area allows for game walks and evening game drives - both these activities are not allowed inside Masai Mara National Reserve itself. Furthermore, our camp is also partly owned by the neighbouring Masai village, ensuring your participation on this tour directly benefits the local community.
