Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri, part of the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio, is not merely a place to lay your head but an experience that encapsulates the spirit of luxury safari. Known for its blend of comfort, style, and nature, Mahali Mzuri offers guests an unparalleled base from which to explore the wonders of the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. This camp has quickly become a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life, even in the wild.

The camp’s design philosophy combines contemporary elegance with an authentic African touch, creating an ambiance where guests feel both pampered and profoundly connected to their surroundings. From the moment you arrive, greeted by the Mahali Mzuri team from Mara North airstrip, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of luxury that respects the environment. However, it’s worth noting that for safety reasons, children under 6 years are not accommodated due to the camp’s layout with its elevated walkways.
