Discover Magical Kenya

The main reason for coming to the Mara is to see her world famous wildlife. From the big cat populations, the wildebeest migration and so much more. In our custom designed Land Cruisers your Maasai guide will help source photos you will want to show to everyone you know.

Experience the Mara from foot - you will be escorted by a local Masai guide who grew up on the land herding cattle and knows it intimately. The small five and other interesting facts will be revealed that you often miss in the vehicle. Often an excuse to burn off some calories from the delicious food in camp!

The Mara is huge and takes some time to explore. So… explore...our kitchen will prepare and pack breakfast and/or lunch to go - you do not have to rush back to camp to eat. You can have it when you like, where you like in a 'private bush restaurant' with mind blowing views.

A true Kenyan hit - as the sun sets a beautiful sky develops overhead and with a cocktail in hand what a perfect end to the day.

Fancy a romantic evening under the stars - a private bush dinner is just for you.

The Maasai people are a fascinating and beautiful nomadic tribe who are proud of their traditions and heritage.

This is why many professional photographers come and stay and guide groups with us. We are also within easy reach of the major Wildebeest Crossing points.

We use Governors Camp Balloon Safaris who have the most amazing route down the Mara River. An early morning start, a coffee and away you fly.

All capped off with a hearty champagne breakfast where you land. An unforgettable flight.
