Mahali Mzuri Location Map

Mahali Mzuri is the newest addition to Virgin Limited Edition, Sir Richard Branson's exclusive portfolio of retreats.  The lodge is located in the p;rivate Olare Motorogi Conservancy, just north of the Masai Mara National Reserve, and is right in the path of the annual migration. There is also an abundance of resident game all year round both near the camp and also a short distance away by vehicle. Your trained guides will be able to tell you all about the various animals and their behaviour when you are out on your daily morning and afternoon/night game drives. Each top of the range 4x4 Land Cruiser safari vehicles seat a maximum of 6 guests.

As well as game drives, you can also go on a cultural day trip to learn more about the local Masai tribe, or enjoy a walking safari, or even take a hot air balloon trip.

In between activities, the lodge team will treat you to a wide selection of African and international menus. At breakfast a continental buffet will be served with hot dishes available a la carte, and guests typically share tables - it's a great time to chat with your fellow travellers about the wildlife you saw earlier that morning. Lunch is normally served on the main deck with individual tables and guests can order from the a la carte menu. Dinner could be around a large communal table, out in the bush or somewhere private just for two.

The central Main Tent features a main lounge area with an open fireplace, a library of books, iPads for guest use, iPod docking stations and speaker systems, a games console and a TV/DVD player for those who wish to keep in touch with the news or sport. There are also binoculars available for guests (although it's a good idea to bring your own) and a telescope for stargazing plus a 12 metre outdoor infinity pool, big enough for a leisurely swim or a refreshing dip. 

There are 12 luxury tented suites. Two of the suites are designed to accommodate up to 2 additional guests on fold out sofa beds, making these ideal for families. Each tented suite sits on a raised platform and includes a spacious bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, sitting area and a terrace with views over the landscape - perfect for spotting the game that will almost certainly wander into view.

General Information For Guests

Each tent at Mahali Mzuri includes a spacious seating area, an en-suite bathroom, and large deck. All tents cover approximately 106 square metres including the external decks.

All rooms are equipped with a hairdryer, sunscreen, insect repellent, torches, extra blankets, ponchos, bathrobes, slippers, a complimentary mini-bar, snacks, tea and coffee making facilities and hot water bottles.

Two of the tents can be configured to sleep a family of 4, with a master bedroom and a living room converted into a second twin room for the children.

All tents are accessed by a shared walkway.  The furthest tent from the main guest areas is about a 5 minute walk.

There is a spa and an infinity pool and a main guest lounge, bar and restaurant.

Additional activities include a visit to the local Maasai village which is 10 minutes drive away.  The best times to go are first thing in the morning when you can help milk the cattle or in the evening when the cattle, goats and sheep are being herded back to their enclosures for the night. The local school is a further 5 minute drive from the village. This is where the Maasai children aged 3-15 years attend. You are welcome to visit the school too, please let your guide know in advanced of your trip that you would like to include this. Guests are welcome to take photos but however please be sensitive to those who shy away from the camera and as a general rule you are asked not take pictures of any children who are not fully dressed or elderly people unless your guide asks their permission. As this is a traditional community you are also asked to dress conservatively (men should not be shirtless and women are asked not to display their midriff or to wear very short shorts).  There is an additional cost for this excursion but all proceeds go directly to the community.

The camp is 25 minutes drive from the airstrip (Olare Orok).


Bush Walks / Walking Safaris

Children under the age of 12 years are not permitted on guided walks. Regardless of age, the final decision on whether a guest can join a guided walk remains with the guide and lodge manager.
