Overview
About Mahali Mzuri
Mahali Mzuri sits above a valley in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, within Kenya's Maasai Mara ecosystem. Its 12 tented suites have private viewing decks, air-conditioning and en-suite bathrooms; one is designed for families. Twice-daily game drives shape the day, with guided bush walks available on request. Between outings, swim in the heated infinity pool, settle into the lounge or book a treatment at Nasaro Spa. All meals, standard drinks, laundry and Olare Orok airstrip transfers are included. Children aged two and over are welcome, with shared game drives for ages six and up.
“For couples and families who want guided game drives without giving up space and comfort: private decks, all-inclusive dining and a heated pool make time in camp part of the appeal.”
