Instinct of the Mara, Olderkesi Conservancy, Kenya
A Lodge or Hotel in Kenya
Camp Details
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.
WHY CHOOSE INSTINCT OF THE MARA?
• Located in Olderkesi Conservancy on the southeastern border of the Maasai Mara and on the border of Tanzanias.
• Far away from the crowds of the more frequented Mara region in the northwest.
• Unspoiled nature reserve, remote wilderness featuring hilly scrubland and riverine habitats.
