Itinerary
Day 1: Enter a private Mara conservancy far from the crowds
Fly to a private conservancy bordering Maasai Mara National Reserve
Reach a secluded tented camp surrounded by the wildlife of the Mara ecosystem
Fly this morning to the Maasai Mara, one of Africa’s most legendary wildlife realms. Secluded within the vast private conservancy that borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve, our isolated tent camp is surrounded by all the wonders of the Mara ecosystem—without the crowds. With strict limits on guest numbers, the conservancy offers the rare opportunity to experience the Mara’s spectacular wildlife in peaceful seclusion.
Days 2 to 3: Search for Kenya’s densest concentration of lions across the Mara
Look for elephants, giraffes, zebras and antelope herds across the rolling savanna
Set out on guided bush walks, off-road safaris and night drives unavailable inside the reserve
Spend two full days exploring the Maasai Mara from our private conservancy with prime wildlife viewing vantage points. The Kenyan conservancy model limits development to certain areas and keeps vast tracts of collectively-owned grazing land open and unfenced so that wildlife can move freely and Maasai landowners can raise livestock.
As a result, a multitude of wild species flourishes here. We find more lions per square mile on the grassy savanna here than anywhere else in Kenya. Herds of antelope dot the rolling plains while stands of acacia trees shelter prolific birdlife. Elephant, giraffe and zebra are also on view.
Our activities take full advantage of this unrivaled access to wide-open wild country. In addition to daily wildlife drives, enjoy guided bush walks, wilderness picnics, off-road safaris and night drives in search of nocturnal wildlife—exciting activities not permitted in the adjacent national reserve.
Day 4: Fly from the Maasai Mara to Nairobi
Enjoy a final breakfast in the conservancy, then transfer to the airstrip for your flight to Nairobi and onward connections
After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for a flight to Nairobi to continue your return home.
