After breakfast you will be driven to the airstrip for your morning flight to the Masai Mara, a journey of approximately an hour, landing right in the heart of this world-famous reserve. You are met on arrival and transferred to Encounter Mara Camp for the next four nights in the heart of the Naboisho Conservancy.
Naboisho Conservancy offers an exclusive and intimate safari experience, limited to a small number of guests. This ensures a sense of privacy and tranquility while exploring the vast savannah plains, acacia woodlands, and seasonal riverbeds that make up the conservancy. The conservancy is celebrated for its thriving wildlife population, including the iconic African Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceros. Naboisho is also home to numerous other species, such as cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, and a wide variety of birdlife. The conservancy’s commitment to conservation, wildlife protection, and low-impact tourism practices has resulted in a flourishing ecosystem and extraordinary game-viewing opportunities.
Accommodation at Encounter Mara consists of spacious and elegantly designed safari tents, carefully positioned to offer privacy and stunning views of the surrounding wilderness. The tents are thoughtfully appointed with comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms, and private verandas where guests can relax and soak in the sights and sounds of the Maasai Mara.
Game drives are a highlight of any safari, and Encounter Mara Camp ensures exceptional wildlife encounters. Led by expert Maasai guides, these game drives take place in custom-designed 4×4 safari vehicles, allowing guests to explore the Maasai Mara’s vast plains and witness the incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five and other iconic species. Night drives provide a unique opportunity to observe nocturnal wildlife in action. Led by knowledgeable guides, these drives venture out after sunset, when predators become more active and many fascinating creatures emerge under the cover of darkness. It’s a chance to spot elusive species such as leopards, hyenas, and bushbabies.
Other options can be prebooked such as visits to a Masai Village and a Balloon Safari over the Mara.
