Mahali Mzuri

This exceptionally-designed camp of Richard Branson’s is one of our Masai Mara conservancy favourites due to its winning combination of location, service and overall quality.

The camp is small in size with only 12 tents, making it easy for staff to give the whole family the personal attention that makes a family safari holiday memorable.

All the tents are spread over the side of a hill, looking down over a waterhole, with the swimming pool set slightly below the tents.

You’d be forgiven for missing a game drive to enjoy the camp itself – not only is the pool area wonderful to relax in a view game from, the spa is incredible, and each tent has a huge decking area where you can sit and soak it all in.

Staying here gives you (and hardly anyone else) access to the private Olare Motorogi conservancy for wildlife viewing – there is so much to see here, and at the right time of year the Great Migration of wildebeest comes through as well. Night game drives are possible, as are all-day drives.

We would also recommend a visit to a local Maasai community – not only will you get a feel for local life, you can also visit the school, which the children (and adults) in the family often find an enlightening experience.
