OFFBEAT MARA

SCENIC RIVERSIDE

An invitingly small, seasonal camp on the Mara North Conservancy – an exclusive patch of wilderness neighbouring the celebrated Masai Mara National Reserve.

Stay at Offbeat Mara on your luxury, tailor-made holiday and prepare to experience an authentic Kenyan safari. The camp enjoys a scenic riverside location within a vast private conservancy where, thanks to strict visitor and vehicle numbers, you can be sure of a crowd-free game viewing. Though wildlife is plentiful in the region year-round – including impressive big cat and plains game numbers – the annual wildebeest migration between July and October remains a major highlight.

Experienced and knowledgeable guides, the majority of whom hail from the local area, lead exciting bush walks and game drives in custom-built Land Cruisers. Hot air balloon safaris are great for seeing the bush from a different perspective, while bush picnics and insightful cultural visits to nearby villages can also be arranged. The camp itself feels wonderfully intimate, made up of just seven canvas tents furnished with large cedar beds and ensuite bathrooms. Private verandas are carefully positioned for the best bush views, and meals are served communally around a large table in the mess tent.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“MONGOLIA STOLE MY HEART – A JOURNEY I’ll NEVER FORGET”

It was one of the best trips of my life. The itinerary you crafted for us was absolutely perfect; I wouldn’t have changed a thing. What made it even more special was the incredible team who looked after us. Edda was fantastic, and the two drivers we had for the Orkhon Valley and Gobi sections of the trip were possibly the best I’ve ever had.
