 Why this Tour?

Iconic Wildlife:

The Masai Mara is a game-rich national reserve that is home to various animals including a pride of lions, leopard, and elephant parades. During migration season, vast herds of wildebeest stretch as far as the eye can see, and with the diverse eco-system comes a plethora of bird life.

Rich Culture:

The stunning camp is located in the land of the Maasai, regal overlords and striking custodians of an ancient culture. A visit to the camp translates interaction with the local community, visit a traditional village and witness the daily rituals of the Maasai.

Private Game Drives:

Located on the western border of the game rich Masai Mara National Reserve and is set on a private concession. Besides the excellent year-round concentration of wildlife, access to the concession allows for bush walks, night drives, and bush dining under a starlit sky.

Each tent, whether Classic, Superior, or Superior View, is thoughtfully decorated with Masai-inspired interiors, adding a touch of cultural authenticity.
