How this holiday makes a difference

Our camp is a partnership between one of Kenya’s foremost conservation and safari families and Jackson Looseyai of BBC Big Cat Live fame – the first and arguably the best Masai guide in the Masai Mara. Our camp was established in the mid 1980s and has long been renowned for its fabulous hospitality and firm commitment to employing only local Masai guides. Over the years, our safaris have funded and supported a wide range of conservation initiatives in the greater Masai Mara ecosystem and most recently, our camp was instrumental in setting up the inspiring Koiyaki Guiding School, which was opened in 2005 for the purpose of training local Masai guides (men and women) in wildlife management, safari guiding and conservation.

The future of the Masai Mara depends solely on the local people deriving benefit from the wildlife. Without any benefits, they will be disempowered and will be far less inclined to protect their wildlife. The Masai have always respected wildlife as an integral part of their culture and the future of the region depends upon their continued involvement.

By choosing us for your Masai Mara safari, you are supporting a shining example of conservation tourism in one of the earth’s most precious wilderness areas. Your visit provides vital income to the local Masai people and guests are directly helping to sustain the region’s incredible natural heritage. We very much hope you will join Jackson and the team in the Mara!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


There were so many good parts to the holiday it is difficult to say. The day in the Ngorongoro crater was amazing, enhanced by the knowledge and skill of our guide Jombi. A personal highlight was walking down into Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, a place I have always wanted to visit. Each game drive we did produced a new experience but seeing Shakira, the famous cheetah, with 6 cubs plus several encounters with Olive the leopard were special. Finally, meeting Jackson. the Maasai guide, at Rekero Camp was the icing on the cake.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


We knew the luggage limit was 15kg and our hold luggage was well under that. However we seem to have been unlucky compared with others we met because our hand luggage was weighed as well. We were then over weight and needed to leave some things in left luggage in Nairobi. We made the mistake of leaving money in a tented lodge and some was stolen. However the matter was dealt with very efficiently and the money was recovered. Always carry valuables with you or take advantaged of the offer of putting things in the camp safe. Be sure to take a warmish jacket. Some evenings in camp and early morning jeep rides can be quite cold!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Yes, we felt that the operator had chosen accommodation and guides very well with these issues in mind and we would thoroughly recommend them.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


We have travelled a lot and in many different parts of the world but this ranks amongst the best and deserves 5 stars. The fairly complicated programme happened without a single hitch and all accommodation and guides and drivers were excellent.
