The camp is open year-round. For the Great Migration, the peak period is July through October. For fewer crowds and more intimate drives, April through June offers excellent wildlife and a greener landscape.

Twice-daily game drives in the conservancy, all meals, standard drinks, laundry, and Wi-Fi are included. Hot air ballooning and Masai Mara National Reserve day visits incur additional charges.

The camp accepts children from two years of age, though due to the design of the decked walkways, it is more suitable for children aged six and above.

Fly from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to Olare Orok or Mara North Airstrip. Africa Bed of Roses Safaris can arrange all domestic flight bookings as part of your honeymoon package.

Yes. Private vehicles can be arranged for an additional cost, which is especially recommended for honeymooners who want full flexibility during game drives.

For a first safari experience, Mahali Mzuri sets a standard that is genuinely hard to beat. The conservancy location means fewer vehicles on drives, the camp is small enough to feel personal, and the level of service is consistent throughout. Couples who stay here through Africa Bed of Roses Safaris often tell us it was the part of their honeymoon they talked about longest after returning home. If you are going to invest in one exceptional safari camp, this is a strong case for making it Mahali Mzuri.

Mahali Mzuri is owned in a partnership between Sir Richard Branson and the Gehlot family, a prominent Kenyan-based real estate and development group. It is operated as part of Branson’s Virgin Limited Edition collection, a carefully curated group of high-end retreats across the world. The camp sits within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy in the greater Masai Mara ecosystem.

Rates vary by season and are charged per person sharing. During the low and green season, which typically runs from early January through mid-June and again from November through mid-December, rates start from around USD 1,100 per person per night. During peak season, covering mid-June through mid-October and the festive period, rates rise to around USD 1,600 per person per night or more. Solo travellers pay a single supplement on top of these figures. All rates are fully inclusive of accommodation, meals, drinks, twice-daily game drives, conservancy fees, and airstrip transfers.

Yes. The rate covers accommodation, all meals, a selection of drinks including alcoholic beverages, twice-daily game drives within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, laundry service, and transfers to and from the nearest airstrip. Optional extras such as hot air balloon safaris, spa treatments, and day visits into the Masai Mara National Reserve carry additional charges.

The kitchen draws on pan-African cuisine, working with bold flavours, aromatic spices, and ingredients inspired by cultures across the continent. Meals shift between the main dining tent, the outdoor terrace, and bush settings depending on the time of day and the mood of the camp. For honeymooners, Africa Bed of Roses Safaris can arrange private bush dinners as part of your package, which takes the dining experience into the wilderness entirely.

The core of the experience is twice-daily game drives through the conservancy with expert guides. Beyond that, guests can arrange hot air balloon safaris over the Mara at sunrise, guided bush walks, Maasai cultural visits, and spa treatments within the camp. The conservancy’s private status means drives operate without the vehicle congestion common in the main reserve, which makes a real difference to the quality of time spent in the field.

The camp has 12 luxury canvas tents, each with a curved contemporary design that sits comfortably against the landscape without feeling out of place in it. Inside, each tent has a plush master bedroom, an en-suite bathroom with a claw-foot tub and separate shower, a fully stocked minibar, and a private wooden deck looking out over the plains. Two of the tents are configured as family suites accommodating up to four guests. The main facilities include a large outdoor infinity pool, a tented lounge and bar, a sun terrace, and a spa.

The camp welcomes families and has two dedicated family suites designed to accommodate adults and children together. Children aged two to five stay free of charge, while children aged six to fifteen are charged at a reduced rate when sharing with adults. That said, the camp’s intimate atmosphere and open-air design make it equally well suited to couples, and honeymooners consistently find the setting as private and romantic as they need it to be.
