The wildlife is waiting for you and
these two days are yours to explore. Enjoy
early morning and early evening game
drives in an open 4WD vehicle, guided
bushwalks, night drives, hiking, horse
riding, mountain biking and tracking. You
can also view wildlife from the comfort of
the lodge in an open-air hide, or sleep
out in private ‘starbeds’. (B)(L)(D)
DAY 4
TSAVO WEST – NAIROBI
- MAASAI MARA
Start the day with a final game drive
en route to the airstrip for your flight
to Nairobi, which will connect with a
scheduled flight to the Maasai Mara.
Upon arrival, settle in at the Mara Plains
Camp. Designed by conservationists, the
lodge was constructed to have minimal
environmental impact – the goal is for it to
become a part of the environment, rather
than to stand out from it.
Featuring just seven luxury
elevated tents, Mara Plains Camp is
one of the smallest and most intimate
accommodation options in the region.
Incorporating local Swahili and Maasai
influences alongside colonial touches,
the furnishings of the lodge are elegant
and reflective of a bygone era. (B)(L)(D)
DAY 5–6
MAASAI MARA
When it comes to wildlife viewing
at the Mara Plains Camp, you will be
spoiled for choice. Guests can choose
between game drives in the Maasai
Mara National Reserve or in the privacy
of the neighbouring Olare Motorogi
Conservancy away from the crowds.
The conservancy is a fabulous reserve
of 14,000 hectares that is rich in wildlife,
particularly big cats. The open 4WDs
have been designed for comfort and to
maximise the viewing experience with
only four to five guests per vehicle.
Each morning choose your own
adventure. Get an early start with a
game drive at dawn when wildlife is
most active or enjoy a leisurely soak in
the deep copper bathtub in your tent- the choice is yours. Spend the rest of
your day relaxing, tracking wildlife or
visiting a local village before heading
out for evening game drives. (B)(L)(D)
