What's included in the rate?
Your per-person rate covers the full 6-night stay (1 night Giraffe Manor + 5 nights at your chosen Mara camps), round-trip flights between Nairobi Wilson and Olkiombo Airstrip, all Maasai Mara park fees and conservancy levies, all transfers (JKIA, Karen-Langata, airstrip), full board accommodation, twice-daily game drives in open-sided 4×4 vehicles, and the relevant beverage package per camp. International flights, Kenya eTA, gratuities, and premium beverages are separate.
How far in advance should I book?
Tier 1 (Salas + Soroi Mara) and Tier 2 (Salas + Angama Mara) require 5 to 13 months advance booking due to limited tent counts at all three camps. Tier 3 (Soroi Private Wing + Soroi Mara/Migration) requires 10 to 20 months ahead for peak-season availability across both properties. Book earlier when possible — high-season windows fill 12+ months ahead.
What are the high and low season dates?
High season runs 1 June to 31 October (the Great Migration in the Mara) and 15 December to 15 February (festive holiday peak). Low season is 16 February to 30 May and 1 November to 14 December — a 12% discount applies automatically across all three tiers in low-season windows. The discounted totals are pre-calculated on each tier card.
Are the Nairobi-Mara flights really included?
Yes — round-trip scheduled charter flights between Nairobi Wilson Airport and Olkiombo Airstrip are included in every quoted price across all three tiers. Flight time is approximately 45 minutes each way. Light-aircraft luggage limits apply — typically 15kg in soft bags per guest.
Are park fees included?
Yes. All Maasai Mara park entry fees, conservancy levies (where your camp sits inside a private conservancy), and applicable foundation contributions are included in your per-person rate. We pay these at source on your behalf — no additional fees are billed at the gate.
Why three different camps over six nights?
One Nairobi night plus two distinct Mara camps gives you three different perspectives on the ecosystem — different guides, different terrain, different positions in the Mara complex. The 2-night and 3-night structure protects pace: long enough to settle, short enough to preserve novelty. It's the rhythm we recommend most often for first-time Kenya luxury travellers.
Can rooms be configured for couples vs single travellers?
Yes. Rates above are per-person sharing (twin or double). Single-room configurations are available with single supplements that vary by camp — typically 30–50% above the sharing rate. For your group of 2 to 18, we'll work with you to optimise the room configuration and minimise the supplement burden.
What about visas and entry?
Most international travellers require the Kenya electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) — applied for online before travel at a cost of USD 34. Our team provides full advisory support on the eTA process, yellow-fever certification (required if arriving from an endemic country), and any onward connection requirements.
What if I want to extend the journey?
We regularly extend this 7-day route into 10–14 day journeys. Popular additions include: Amboseli (Kilimanjaro elephants, 2–3 nights), Lewa or Ol Pejeta in Laikipia (rhino conservation, 2–3 nights), Diani Beach or Lamu (coastal finish, 3–5 nights), or onward into Tanzania for the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
