Price from R64 449 pp

Few wildlife destinations can match the allure and mystique of the fabled Maasai Mara.

The endless grasslands of the Mara are a truly iconic landscape – studded with lone acacia trees and rocky kopjes, they offer endless vistas – and are home to a vast array of wildlife, in numbers that simply can’t be found elsewhere.

Day 1 | Basecamp Masai Mara • Arrive at Nairobi Airport, where a Saruni Basecamp vehicle will transfer you to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara. On arrival at Wilson Airport, our Saruni Basecamp guide will meet you and transfer you to the camp for lunch. • Relax through the heat of the day as you gaze out over the Masai Mara National Reserve, before embarking on an afternoon game drive to take advantage of the cooler part of the day, when wildlife is generally more active, before returning to the camp for dinner in the restaurant or under the stars.

Day 2 | Basecamp Masai Mara • Your morning game drives with your Maasai guide takes you in search of Africa’s Big Five and other wildlife of the Masai Mara. • Enjoy lunch as a picnic or back in camp, before an afternoon game drive to explore new areas.. • Enjoy dinner in camp as you listen to the sounds of the savannah night.

Day 3 | Basecamp Masai Mara • Continue to experience the vastness of the plains, and go where the game is with close (but safe and respectful) encounters with wildlife. • Learn more about our unique approach to responsible tourism on a behind-the-scenes tour of the camp. • Visit one of our local capacity-building projects – Basecamp Masai Brand women’s initiative – and see how we are helping local women to achieve financial independence. • You can also discover our reforestation project, and (for a small fee) plant a tree of your own to help offset the carbon emissions of your journey to the Mara.

Day 4 | Basecamp Masai Mara to Saruni Leopard Hill • After breakfast head out as part of a morning game drive, your guide will transfer you to your second camp – Saruni Leopard Hill. • The Mara Naboisho Conservancy is especially renowned for its high numbers of lions, and game drives in this area give you a wonderful opportunity to watch these majestic predators in their natural habitat. • Your day will end with sundowners at a scenic spot, before a night game drive back to the camp for dinner.

Day 5 | Saruni Leopard Hill • A guided walking safari can reveal the tiny details of the Mara ecosystem that might be overlooked on a game drive. Engage all your senses as you enhance your bushcraft and learn basic tracking skills from your Maasai guide. • Once at camp spend your time at leisure including enjoying a massage and afternoon game drives in a part of the Mara where very few vehicles are permitted. It all adds up to a very exclusive safari experience – which naturally includes sundowners – before returning to the camp for dinner. • In your room make sure to press the button that causes the roof of your tent to retract so that you can gaze in wonder at the most incredible display of stars and constellations.

Day 6 | Saruni Leopard Hill • Depart after breakfast back for drop off at Nairobi Airport/ Hotel.
