  • On safari in the Mara. You can enjoy morning and afternoon safari drives from your camp as well as short walking safaris, night drives and sundowners out in the open. As the camp is situated in a private conservancy within the Mara, the number of camps and vehicles here is strictly limited, giving you by far the best safari experience away from the busier areas of the park.
