A small, intimate camp, Great Plains Mara Expeditions fits perfectly into its wild surroundings. The style of the camp is sympathetic to the habitats of the Mara, and also conjures up an authentic sense of being on a voyage of discovery. The camp has an authentic expedition feel, as though it might be uprooted at any moment to embark on a new adventure. That said, there is no shortage of relevant luxury – this is first-class safari travel at its finest. Naturally the ultimate luxury is spending time in unspoiled wilderness, and the setting of this camp, on a secluded bend of the Ntiakitiak River, bridges the divide between forest and savannah. Mara Expeditions is the ideal launchpad from which to explore and connect with the landscapes and wildlife of the Mara, still one of Africa’s most iconic destinations.

INSIDER’S TIP:  Keep your eyes peeled – this camp is sited in prime leopard spotting territory!
