Mara Expedition Camp
“We’ve always believed a safari should be about more than the safari drive. Some of the most memorable moments happen between wildlife encounters: sharing meals, exploring on foot or by bicycle, or simply taking time to absorb the landscape. Mara Expedition Camp captures the romance of Africa’s early explorers while giving today’s travellers more ways to connect with this extraordinary place.” – Dereck Joubert, co-owner of Great Plains Conservation
