Game Drives

Camps
There's always excitement in the Mara, dawn as the animals wake, midday and the shimmering heat, or dusk, perfect for hunting: a pride of lion stalking zebra, a herd of elephant heading for the swamps, cheetah cubs playing in the shade. Sights you won't forget.
Our four-wheel-drive vehicles are built to our own specifications. Cut-away roofs give you better views. Our professional drivers will astonish you with what they find: a tell-tale vulture will lead them to a hyena kill, a warning cry from a mother wildebeest reveals a leopard stalking through the grass.

For the experience of a lifetime, drift the dawn over the magnificent plains of the Masai Mara in a Hot Air Balloon. Then feast on a sumptuous champagne breakfast in the bush at the landing site', before returning to camp on a game drive.'
Walking Safari

Leave your vehicle behind and take a walking safari with one of our armed-guides for the true thrill of the bush. Down on the same level as the animals you'll experience the untamed beauty of the Mara. You'll track game, unsure what waits round the next corner, giraffe, buffalo, even lion. You'll catch the scents and sounds of wild Africa. And at the end of it all waits a sumptuous bush barbecue complete with champagne.
Masai Cultural experience

Surrounding the Mara are the lands of the Masai tribe, a tall, proud race of warriors. Herding cattle and goats, they've lived among the animals for centuries. We'll take you to Masai villages to see a way of life that's survived almost unchanged for generations.
