Dream of an Africa of unending plains, massive herds, flat topped acacia trees and scarlet clad Masai, and you’re dreaming of the Masai Mara. Meryl Streep and Robert Redford in their tented home all alone on the plains…if only it could be like that!
Well, Africa Exclusive can make it surprisingly close to that in places like Alex Walker’s Serian camp, all on its own on a huge private reserve on the Mara plains. He’ll even set up a small fully staffed Bushcamp by a remote river just for you. All the space, all the wild beauty and animals, and none of the minibuses.
If you love Africa, you simply have to visit the Masai Mara at some time, and for maximum effect, July to October is Migration time, when two million wildebeest, zebra and gazelles make their epic journey from the Serengeti. Even outside those months you still have all the resident animals – arrogant prides of lion, stealthy cheetah, curious giraffe with outrageously beautiful eyes, herds of nervously watchful antelope. In this environment there’s something very appropriate about tented accommodation. Maybe it’s the Out of Africa image.
At Africa Exclusive we arrange for you to stay in the best places. Cottars is an excellent choice, owned and run by Calvin and Louise, set on a huge private reserve full of wildlife it’s an authentic Mara camp of real quality. Stay in spacious stylish tented suites with oceans of white canvas, convivial dinners. Good wine in crystal glasses and excited conversation with Calvin and his guides. Then a final drink around the fire under a star filled sky to the not so distant grunting roar of a lion. We could name another dozen camps, and if you call us we’ll be able to decide which is just right for you, and which other places in Kenya would complement them to create your perfect safari, perhaps before a few days by the coast.
Call us now to plan your escape to the Mara.
