Four nights at Sir Richard Branson's Mahali Mzuri, twelve glass-fronted suites on a hillside in the predator-rich Olare Motorogi Conservancy — the Maasai Mara at its most rarefied.
This is the Maasai Mara at the very top of the scale. Rather than rushing between camps, you settle into one of Africa's most celebrated addresses for four full nights, with the Olare Motorogi Conservancy as your private wilderness.
Mahali Mzuri is Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Limited Edition camp, twelve striking glass-fronted suites set on a hillside above a wildlife corridor. The Olare Motorogi Conservancy carries some of the highest predator densities in Africa, with a strict limit on vehicles and a fraction of the traffic of the main reserve.
Days here are yours to shape. Morning and evening game drives, guided walks across the plains, a night drive the conservancy permits, and afternoons at the Nasaki Spa or the infinity pool overlooking the valley. Between July and October, the wider Mara's crossings are within easy reach.
Why we love this journey — it is ultra luxury without compromise. A complimentary night at Hemingways Nairobi to ease your arrival or departure, fly-in transfers throughout, and four nights at a camp the world's most discerning travellers return to again and again.

The Nasaki Spa & infinity pool — Afternoons of treatments and an infinity pool poised above the valley, between the morning and evening drives.
A complimentary Nairobi night — A night at Hemingways Nairobi to ease your arrival or departure, with meet and assist throughout.
Fly-in throughout — Light-aircraft transfers between Nairobi and the Mara. No long road hauls, every moment savoured.
You are met and assisted on arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and transferred to Wilson Airport for your light-aircraft flight to the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. A short game drive brings you to Mahali Mzuri in time for lunch, with an afternoon drive to settle into the rhythm of the plains. A complimentary night at Hemingways Nairobi is included for guests who prefer to arrive a day early or rest before a late departure.
Three unhurried days of morning and evening game drives, guided bush walks, and sundowners on the plains. The Olare Motorogi Conservancy holds exceptional numbers of lion, leopard, and cheetah, and its private status allows off-road sightings and a night drive the main reserve does not. Crossings of the wider Mara are within reach between July and October, and an optional hot-air balloon safari at dawn can be arranged from camp.
A final morning drive and breakfast, then a light-aircraft flight back to Wilson Airport, where you are met and transferred for your onward connection. Guests on late flights may use the complimentary Hemingways Nairobi night before departing.

Mahali Mzuri, meaning "beautiful place" in Swahili, sits in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara. With strict vehicle limits and exclusive traversing rights, it offers a quieter, more rarefied safari than the main reserve, with off-road game viewing and night drives.
Twelve contemporary tented suites are raised on platforms with floor-to-ceiling glass, private decks, and sweeping views over the valley. Each is appointed with king beds, en-suite bathrooms, and a dedicated butler.
Dining is relaxed and superb, served in the open-air mess, on private decks, or out in the bush. Menus blend local produce with international flavour, paired with a thoughtful cellar.
Set against the Ngong Hills in the suburb of Karen, Hemingways Nairobi is an all-suite boutique hotel known for its understated elegance and effortless service.
