ASHNIL MARA
OVERVIEW
This is a luxury five day tour of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, often described as Kenya's finest wildlife reserve due to the abundant flora and fauna and the gentle rolling grasslands that ensure the animals are never out of sight. Set right next to the Mara River, accommodation is at Ashnil Mara Camp, arguably one of the best luxury camps in the reserve.
The Camp is located on one of the very best positions in the whole of the Masai Mara for game viewing, providing the perfect setting to sit, relax and take in the true majesty of the African Savannah at the end of an exciting day of game drives. It comprises 50 luxury tents overlooking the plains of the Mara, with each tent including a luxury ensuite bathroom, walk-in closet and a sun deck for relaxation while watching game.
Guests can enjoy breakfast on the banks of the Mara River, as they watch watch wild animals quench their thirst. The restaurant serves international, oriental and traditional African cuisines, and features an open-air bar offering a wide selection of beers, cocktails and liquors. Bush dining and picnic lunches can be arranged on request.
Transport to and within the reserve is by road, in private safari landcruiser 4x4 vehicles, with pop-up roofs for panoramic 360° game viewing. The vehicles are driven by professional driver-guides, with comprehensive knowledge of the reserve and the wildlife within.
This tour is customisable. The number of days can be increased or decreased as per request. Travel to and from the game reserve, can be changed to air travel instead of by road.
