Why this journey

Two landscapes, one seamless week

Seven days is enough for a genuinely memorable safari when the routing is tight. We pair the Mara's prolific predators with a private Laikipia conservancy, and use bush flights so travel time never eats into game viewing.

The result is a private, unhurried week suited to first-time visitors and seasoned safari-goers alike.

  • Classic Mara wildlife with low-density conservancy privacy
  • Private guide and vehicle throughout
  • Bush flights instead of long road transfers
  • Ideal short-safari window for USA, UK and European travellers

Best time

When to travel

July to October is peak for the Great Migration and dry-season game viewing. January to March offers warm weather and excellent big-cat sightings with fewer visitors.
