Overview

The Mara is large and varied, and each of its best camps sits in a different part of it. Angama Mara looks over the Mara Triangle from the Oloololo escarpment. Mahali Mzuri sits in a private conservancy, where walks and night drives are allowed. Governors’ Camp sits on the Mara River in the heart of the reserve.

Staying in all three gives you the whole range of the Mara, with flights from and to Nairobi and a private guide throughout.
