Safari Overview
Fly from Nairobi into the Maasai Mara and spend two nights at the all-inclusive Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp on the banks of the Mara River.
This short luxury safari flies you from Nairobi's Wilson Airport straight into the Maasai Mara, so you trade hours on the road for extra time on game drives. You stay two nights at Neptune Mara Rianta Luxury Camp, an all-inclusive tented camp of 20 tents set among indigenous trees in the Mara North Conservancy, directly overlooking the Mara River and its resident hippos. Days are built around morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five, cheetahs and the great herds of the Mara, with high-end service, fine dining and selected drinks included at the camp. It is ideal for travellers who want a short, premium Maasai Mara experience without long road transfers.
