Itinerary

Olderkesi Conservancy, Kenya

Olderkesi Conservancy stretches across the southeastern corner of the Mara, near the Tanzanian border, forming a vital corridor for wildlife moving between the Serengeti and Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve. Each year, wildebeest and zebra thunder through these grasslands during the Great Migration, watched closely by lions, cheetahs, and hyenas. Elephants, giraffes, and antelope roam freely across riverine valleys, forests, and woodlands, while birds, reptiles, and smaller mammals thrive in the quieter corners of the landscape. The Maasai, original inhabitants of the area, still live here as semi-nomadic pastoralists, guiding large herds of cattle across the plains and keeping their cultural traditions alive.

Instinct of the Mara is located in a corner of Olderkesi Conservancy southeast of the Maasai Mara. The camp features 7 premium tents, a villa, and a forest suite.

Tsavo West’s spectacular natural scenery includes volcanic cones, swamps, rocky outcrops and lava flows, mountains, river forests, plains, lakes, natural springs, and wooded grassland. The other-worldly, black, layering Shetani Lava Flows, named after the devil, spreads over the savannah. Other incredible natural attractions include the awe-inspiring Chaimu Crater; the Roaring Rocks, offering panoramic views; and the gorgeous Mzima Springs, the main source of water for the Tsavo River. Animal lovers will enjoy the chance to see highly endangered black rhinos at the Ngulia Rhino Sanctuary, and a list of other animals in the park including large herds of elephants, common waterbuck, eland, buffalo, gerenuk, fringe-eared oryx, impala, and Maasai giraffe.
