Off-peak Mara Safari – 17-19 November, 2017

We have an excellent deal to visit the Masai Mara in the low season. We shall stay at Keekorok Lodge – one of the oldest and still one of the most beautiful lodges in the Mara. The rooms are comfortable, each has a veranda and there is a swimming pool. The main bar and lounge area has an old-world ambience. Beyond the extensive lawns there is a walkway over a wetland leading to a bar strategically placed next to a pool full of hippo. There are several sitting areas along the walkway where you can enjoy sundowners under the stars.
The Mara is renowned for its concentration of game. It is a more attractive and peaceful place in November when the 4WD beasts have left. We shall see all the Big 5 as well lots of plains game. We may even see some wildebeest.
Cost- 20,700ksh pp sharing.
Included- FB for two days
Not included- Park entry, transport
Alternative – Those who do not wish to drive can fly in. The air strip is practically next to the lodge, but then you will hire a vehicle from the lodge for game drives.
