Your journey begins with a scenic flight from Wilson Airport in Nairobi to Ol Kiombo airstrip, where you’ll be welcomed by Mara Intrepids’ friendly team. A short transfer brings you to the camp, where your luxury tent awaits — set on a raised platform above the Talek River, offering sweeping views of the riverbanks and roaming wildlife.
After a refreshing welcome drink and light lunch, you’ll set out for your first afternoon game drive, led by expert, gold-certified guides. The Mara’s open plains teem with lions, elephants, giraffes, and elusive leopards. As the sun sets, enjoy a classic Mara sundowner out on the savanna, before returning to camp for a beautifully prepared riverside dinner beneath a canopy of stars. The evening concludes with an optional night drive, giving you a rare glimpse into the nocturnal world of hyenas, hippos, and elusive servals.
The following day begins with an early wake-up call and a hot cup of Kenyan coffee, before heading out on a sunrise game drive. This is the best time to spot the Big Cats on the move. Enjoy a hearty breakfast in the bush, surrounded by the untamed beauty of the Mara. Return to camp mid-morning for leisure time — perhaps a dip in the outdoor swimming pool, a book by the fire, or simply taking in the sights and sounds of the river from your private verandah.
For those seeking relaxation, indulge in a spa treatment, with options ranging from full-body massages to rejuvenating facials. As the afternoon cools, embark on another thrilling game drive, tracking the Great Migration herds (in season) or visiting key watering holes bustling with wildlife. For the truly adventurous, a sunset hot-air balloon safari can be arranged, floating silently over the golden plains before touching down for a champagne bush breakfast.
Evenings at Mara Intrepids are an experience in themselves. Whether it’s a private candlelit dinner by the river, a Maasai cultural talk around the campfire, or simply sharing safari stories over drinks at the bar, the warmth of the camp’s hospitality ensures every moment is memorable.
Your final morning offers a choice between a leisurely breakfast and one last early morning bush walk. Led by experienced naturalists, this guided walk introduces you to the smaller, often overlooked wonders of the Mara — from animal tracks and medicinal plants to the rich birdlife of the region.
After brunch, it’s time to bid farewell to the Mara’s endless plains as you’re transferred back to Ol Kiombo for your flight to Nairobi.
