Maasai Mara, Kenya
Sir Richard Branson’s Kenyan safari camp, Mahali Mzuri, opened in 2013 and offers an unforgettable safari experience in the Maasai Mara ecosystem. Each of the 12 luxury tented suites sits on a raised platform and includes a spacious bedroom with an en suite bathroom, sitting area and large deck overlooking the pristine landscape. The camp is located in the path of the great migration — on a typical game drive you’ll spot wildebeests, elephants, zebras, lions, buffalo, topi, hippopotamuses and many more! The impressive dining options include a wide selection of African and international dishes served in the main dining tent or out in the bush.
For all of 2019:
I can offer a free nights stay…. for stays of 4 or more nights.
