Masai Mara

Fresh herbs from the camp' s garden are used to prepare homemade pastas and freshly baked breads. The viewing platform overlooks a waterhole. The camp also has three plunge-pools.

Game Viewing

The Masai Mara is the most famous of Africa' s reserves. Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers. Preying on them are the predators, lions, cheetah and leopard. Although the black-maned Mara lion is the star of the show, elephant, buffalo, kongoni, topi, waterbuck and primates are can also be found on in the wide green gold savannahs of the Masai Mara. The reserve is home to the northern end of the wildebeest migration – that great surge of wildebeest, zebra and antelope that sweep in from Tanzania' s Serengeti. They are tracked by large predators who pick off the weak, young and stragglers. The migration mass along the Mara River, shoving and pushing just waiting for the first animal to cross so they can complete the final leg of their journey. Crocodiles lie in wait for their best meal of the year. Long after the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra have passed, the plains are still home to an abundant of wildlife.
