YOUR HOME IN THE MAASAI MARA

Experience unspoiled eastern Africa up close and personal at the “Instinct of the Mara” lodge. Hidden away in a corner of Olderkesi Conservancy the camp celebrates the true luxury of privacy and endless possibilities. Here, the magical “Out of Africa” feeling is ever-present. Embedded in the untouched nature of the 7,600 acre conservancy in the secluded southeast of the Maasai Mara, you enjoy unforgettable safaris in one of the most beautiful and animal-rich areas of Kenya. On game drives you will encounter antelope, buffalo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, elephant, rhino, lion, leopard and cheetah. The chance of getting the famous Big Five in front of your camera lens within one day is particularly good here. Olderkesi Conservancy is far away from the crowds of the more frequented Mara region in the northwest, is incredibly rich in wildlife and worth a trip at any time of the year, but especially during the “Great Migration” from late July to mid/end of September.

As there is only one other lodge in this region of the Maasai Mara, you will share the unforgettable wildlife encounters with very few, if any, other people. The camp is nestled on a hillside, surrounded by pristine forest, features plenty of privacy and very personal, attentive service. Meals are taken in the stylish mess tent, between safari activities you can unwind in the comfortable lounge as well as on the private veranda of your comfortable retreat. Before and after dinner, you gather around the fire pit and let the exciting day end with a refreshing drink – surrounded by the mysterious sounds of the bush.
