Get set for a wild ride on safari in Kenya, where nature always has the last word. This most awe-inspiring of landscapes is the setting for Mahali Mzuri, Sir Richard Branson’s tented camp in a pristine part of Africa. Positioned within the Maasai Mara ecosystem, this is the place to be for a front row view of the abundant game in the area. The camp is also in the path of the world-famous annual Great Migration.

Mahali Mzuri is located in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy and there are 13,500 hectares of bush to explore. Against the backdrop of a valley and sprawling plains as far as the eye can see, visitors to Mahali Mzuri can expect exciting game drives with experienced Guides, delicious meals, a cosy and relaxing atmosphere at our camp and in a uniquely designed, spacious and luxurious tent.

Twelve unique tented suites sleep a maximum of 24 guests at any time. The tents are perched on a ridge looking over the valley with a distinctive design adapted to the local climate and terrain. There are six tents on either side of the Main Tent, each accessible by a shared walkway, the furthest of which is approximately a 5 minute walk from the Main Tent. Ten of the 12 tents are designed to sleep two adults and all can be split into twin beds. The remaining two tents are configured so that the sitting area is enclosed with fold-out sofa beds accommodating up to two additional guests - ideal for families. All have large outdoor terraces and bathrooms feature roll top baths, seperate showers and twin vanity units - with hairdryers.

Game drives are in top of the range open 4x4 Land Cruiser vehicles, seating a maximum of six guests. Depart in the early morning and late afternoon for your thrilling game drive in near solitude. Night game drives are also available and can be arranged by guests whilst at Mahali Mzuri. We can also pack you a picnic lunch and set off on a full day drive to make the most of the bush.

The central Main Tent features a main lounge area with an open fireplace, a library of books, iPads for guest use, iPod docking stations and speaker systems, a games console and a TV/DVD player for those who wish to keep in touch with the news or sport. We will also have binoculars available for guests (although it’s a good idea to bring your own!) and a telescope for stargazing plus our 12 metre outdoor infinity pool, big enough for a leisurely swim or a refreshing dip. There is a large decked area where breakfast and lunch will be served and a communal table inside seating 24.

Fine food is a highlight of your stay! From early morning snacks prior to game drives to multiple course menus in the evening the food served at Mahali Mzuri will be one of the highlights of your stay. We can cater for those with special dietary needs so just let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to have exactly what you need.

At breakfast a continental buffet will be served with hot dishes available à la carte, and guests typically share tables – it’s a great time to chat with your fellow travellers about the wildlife you saw earlier that morning. Lunch is normally served on the main deck with individual tables and guests can order from the à la carte menu. Dinner could be around a large communal table, out in the bush or somewhere private just for two!

In a more secluded spot a short walk from the Main Tent is our spa treatment room, called Nasaro, offering eco-friendly treatments using the Africology range of products which are made from 100% essential oils and natural plant extracts.

We recommend children be aged 6 years of age and above to stay at Mahali Mzuri and they must be at least 6 years old to participate in the daily game drives and accompanied by their parents. Children of all ages must be under parental supervision at all times whilst in camp. We have two tents which are able to accommodate additional guests in the separate enclosed sitting room. We have children's books, games and kites, plus a TV, DVD player and games console for extra entertainment. We would be delighted to organise tailored activities to further educate our younger guests on their African surroundings and the local wildlife. Baby-sitting can be arranged but please advise at the time of booking if this may be required. Special food and beverages or simple snacks and light meals can be prepared according to your child’s tastes.

We hope to welcome you to Mahali Mzuri!
