Sir Richard Branson’s Kenyan safari camp, Mahali Mzuri, opened in 2013 and offers an unforgettable safari experience in the Maasai Mara ecosystem. Each of the 12 luxury tented suites sits on a raised platform and includes a spacious bedroom with an en suite bathroom, sitting area and large deck overlooking the pristine landscape. The camp is located in the path of the great migration — on a typical game drive you’ll spot wildebeests, elephants, zebras, lions, buffalo, topi, hippopotamuses and many more! The impressive dining options include a wide selection of African and international dishes served in the main dining tent or out in the bush.

LOCATION 

Located within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy to the north of Kenya's famous Maasai Mara National Reserve at an elevation of 1,700m above sea level. The camp is perched on the side of a lush valley with views over the rolling plains. Together the Motorogi and Olare Orok Conservancies cover roughly 13,500 hectares (33,000 acres) and there are strict limits on the number of guests that can stay at any one time. The camp is well placed to observe the abundant game in the area and also to take advantage of the annual 'Great Migration', which sees up to one million wildebeest undertake a journey of roughly 1,600km.

As it is 240km almost due west of Nairobi in Kenya, the best way to arrive is by plane is to Nairobi-Wilson Airport. Charlotte Travel can arrange transfers between the international and domestic airports for arrivals from outside Kenya whatever by domestic airlines, charter flights or helicopter. 

TENTS

Your tent is your window onto some of the world’s most spectacular scenery. Each of 12 luxurious and stylish tents is designed to be your home away from home throughout your stay, with an ensuite bathroom, inviting private deck and views you won’t want to miss. 

There are six tents on either side of the Main Tent, each accessible by a walkway, the furthest of which is approximately a 5 minute walk from the Main Tent. Ten of the 12 tents are designed to sleep two adults and all can be split into twin beds. Two tents are configured to accommodate two additional guests who are 15 years and under. Maximum of 24 guests  can be cater in the camp at any one time.

HIGHLIGHTS

If you're looking for more action after your game drives, we are sure to keep you busy. Charlotte Travel can also can organise community trips to teach you about the local Maasai Tribe whose traditional pastoralist customs are still very much in practice. After the exciting game drives, take a dip in the outdoor infinity pool and soak in the views or just relax with a drink from the bar. At night you can explore the night sky with our telescope – on a clear night you can see for miles. 

What better way to relax than at Nasaro - which literally means 'refuge' or 'relaxation' in Maa. The Spa is located down near the valley floor and provides a private, intimate setting in which to be pampered, using a range of products from Africology ethical skin care products to capture the rejuvenating and healing essences of Africa
