Set within its own conservancy on top of a hill, this is a great lodge for those looking for a flexible safari experience.

Days 5–8 MAASAI MARA

Wildebeest Great Migration, Il Moran, Kenya

From Laikipia, you’ll travel to Kenya’s most famous reserve, the Maasai Mara, for three nights on a traditional safari adventure. Considered one of the Maasai Mara’s original safari camps, Il Moran is a high-level tented camp known for its good-quality guiding and its very good game-viewing. Its location is key, set under ancient trees in a core wildlife area that allows for great wildlife viewing from camp and from the immediate vicinity. There are just a few tents spaced along the banks of the Mara river, where you’ll be placed in the middle of the excitement. Activities are mostly focused on game drives, which take place each day during early morning and late afternoon, and if you travel from July to October, you’ll have the chance to witness the Great Migration, as thousands of wildebeest hurtle across the river to green pastures - you will have a strong chance of witnessing epic river crossings.
