Your journey to the Masai Mara begins with thoughtful preparation, ensuring a seamless and worry-free adventure. While no specific vaccinations are universally mandatory for entry into Kenya, requirements may vary based on your country of origin or recent travel history—some travelers may need to present a Yellow Fever vaccination certificate.
We strongly recommend checking with your local health authorities or travel clinic at least eight weeks before departure to confirm the latest health requirements and recommendations. Though malaria risk is minimal in the Masai Mara, your healthcare provider can advise on any preventive measures suited to your itinerary, allowing you to travel with confidence and peace of mind.

To cultivate an atmosphere of tranquility and ensure the well-being and safety of all our guests, we have established a minimum age requirement of six years. Families can enjoy tailored activities that make the safari adventure engaging for young explorers. Contact us for customized family-friendly experiences.

By Air: The quickest way to get to Masai Mara is by air. The closest local airstrip is Keekorok (KEU) and flight time from Nairobi is approximately 1-hour. Flights are available from Nairobi Wilson Airport (WIL), which is approximately 12 km from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO).
On arrival at Keekorok airstrip, you will be met by our team, followed by a 1-hour game drive to the Camp. 
Luggage is limited to 15kg per person (soft bags only) on flight. Should you have additional luggage for the rest of your journey, we would be delighted to assist with storing it in a safe locker.

By Road: A private vehicle can be arranged for transfers between Nairobi and Masai Mara at an additional charge. The journey, approximately 5 to 6 hours, traverses Kenya's stunning scenery and local villages along the way.

The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the local currency, but US dollars are widely accepted.
We recommend exchanging money at the international airport or city hotels, though ATMs are available in Nairobi for withdrawals.
Credit Cards:
Major credit cards are widely accepted. When possible, opt for card payments over carrying large sums of cash. However, please stay vigilant as fraud is still a threat.
At the camp, there’s no need to carry cash—your experience is designed for seamless indulgence. Any purchases, whether a bespoke treasure from the gift shop or a rejuvenating spa treatment, can be effortlessly settled by credit card.

Pack light, breathable clothing in neutral tones, long-sleeved shirts and pants for sun and insect protection, and comfortable closed-toe shoes for safaris. Bring a jacket or sweater for chilly mornings and evenings. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses for sun protection.
Remember to pack light and consider any luggage restrictions that may apply to your mode of travel. Most importantly, pack an open mind and a sense of adventure for your unforgettable safari in Masai Mara.

Kenya’s unique position along the equator ensures a consistently pleasant climate throughout the year, with only subtle seasonal shifts. From December to March, expect warm, sun-kissed days averaging 30°C (86°F), while the migration months of July to September bring slightly cooler, refreshing temperatures.
Evenings in the Masai Mara are beautifully crisp, with temperatures dipping to around 15°C (59°F)—a perfect contrast to the warmth of the day. Though it rarely gets colder, the gentle evening breeze adds a touch of wilderness serenity to your nights under the African sky.

The Great Migration is one of nature’s most breathtaking spectacles, a timeless journey of over two million wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles across the Serengeti and Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing lands.
From July to October, the Mara becomes the stage for the dramatic river crossings, where herds brave the crocodile-laden waters of the Mara River—a sight both thrilling and awe-inspiring. January to March marks the calving season, when thousands of newborns take their first steps, drawing the attention of Africa’s great predators. As the cycle continues, the herds move north between April and June, before slowly returning south in November and December.
Our Camp is perfectly positioned near the migration route, offering unparalleled front-row seats to one of the world’s greatest natural wonders.

2025 Park entry fees per day are $100 (Jan–June) / $200 (July–Dec) for adults and $50 for children (9-17 years). Children below 8 years of age enter for free.
Fees can be paid directly at the entrance gate of the park, or we could pre-pay for you in advance for a seamless experience. A prepayment of the park fees and a passport copy of each guest will be required.
