Luxury lodges such as Angama Mara, Mahali Mzuri, and Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp combine panoramic views with world-class service. Beyond the Mara, Kenya also boasts stunning destinations like Laikipia for conservation-led travel and Amboseli, where elephants roam beneath Mount Kilimanjaro.Fly privately into Nairobi, then connect with ease to Wilson Airport or directly to private airstrips across the Mara and beyond.
