Laikipia & the Mara

A beautifully balanced first safari: three nights among Laikipia’s varied landscapes, followed by four nights in a private Mara conservancy.

Why this route works

A journey with a clear sense of pace.

The two regions feel genuinely different. Laikipia brings rhino conservation, walking and a broad choice of activities; the Mara completes the journey with exceptional predator country and classic open plains.

When to go. A strong year-round route. July to October is busiest and usually most expensive in the Mara; the green months can offer excellent value, dramatic skies and rewarding game viewing.

This is an example rather than a fixed package. Camps, flight times and the final order are tailored to availability, season and your preferred pace.
