Mara Plains Camp is a seven-tent camp in the 13,000-hectare Olare Motorogi Conservancy on the northern end of Maasai Mara National Reserve. Explore the broad hills, which are home to grazers like giraffes, zebras, hartebeests, and warthogs. Expect big cats in the reserve, which is home to Africa's largest concentration of the species. Several lion pride territories meet here, which can make for some interesting encounters as the different groups battle for dominance. Outside your front door, game drives begin. Explore 35,000 acres of rolling grassland, hills, cliffs, and the Motorogi plains in one of the world's most diverse wild environments.

Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
When you arrive in Nairobi, you will be greeted by a travel professional who will give you a quick overview of your safari journey. Then you'll be taken to Wilson airport where you will ride a flight to Masai Mara. On arrival at the local airstrip, you'll receive a warm welcome from your driver who will bring you to Mara Plains Camp. At the camp, you'll be assisted to your tent and a nice lunch will be served. After a little rest, go on your first game drive of the trip. Return to the tent for dinner.
You have the rest of your day to enjoy what Mara Plains can offer you. There is a vast range of activities that you can start in the early morning, to late afternoon till dusk game drives, to visiting the locals, walking around the bushes, and unrivaled access to superior wildlife habitats. The best time to view the animals is when their most active before the heat of the day sets in and after a mid-morning of relaxation and lunch.
Start your day with a hearty breakfast before heading to the Masai Mara National Reserve to spend the day visiting the area. Take a picnic lunch in the bushes and spend the rest of your time exploring the area. Inquire with your tour guide about the famous Mara River, which is home to the legendary wildebeest crossing, which has been featured in numerous wildlife films. Before your final dinner in Masai Mara, enjoy a bath in the pool or wander across this breathtaking landscape.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.
