Sosian Lodge Laikipia

Our 8 Days 7 Nights Kenya Fly-in Safari to Laikipia & Masai Mara is a luxury air safari that combines two of Kenya’s premier wildlife destinations – Laikipia and the Maasai Mara.

It focuses on Private conservancies (also known as private concessions, or private reserves) which offer you a set of distinct advantages that are not available in national parks like night game drives, off-road game drives, crowd-free game viewing, and guided nature walks.

What’s more, with this 8-day private reserves safari is that activities are only conducted by highly-qualified guides, so you get a great quality experience. Your safari begins with a flight from Nairobi to Loisaba Airstrip followed by a 50 minutes transfer to Sosian lodge (Sosian lodge is a 2-hour transfer from Nanyuki Airstrip).

Sosian Ranch is located northwest of Mount Kenya and is more about the activities than a traditional safari experience. You will see games including elephants, lions, and maybe wild dogs, but the area does not have the density of the Maasai Mara.

Sosian Ranch is terrific for active people and activities include game drives and walks, horseback riding, camelback riding, and tubing; those brave enough can even jump off a waterfall! Guests can end each day in a different, stunning sundowner spot. Sosian Lodge really excels in providing an immersive, exciting bush experience that’s well worth making the most of over your 3-night stay.

Next, we fly to Sosian’s sister camp Offbeat Mara is a traditional, down-to-earth tented camp located in the Mara North Conservancy. A 4-night stay here is all about the wildlife. Only guests staying in the conservancy can game drive here, so you can have superb sightings with very few other vehicles. It’s also possible to get out on foot for a new perspective.

This action-packed trip is great for families, single travelers, and couples as well. Go in search of lions, elephants, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, and much more in some of the most game-rich wildlife reserves in Kenya with this 7-night (8-day) tour.

Afternoon you will go on a game drive. Game viewing in the area is terrific, with regular sightings of big cats and the Offbeat lion pride usually close at hand.

Day 5, 6 & 7: Explore Masai Mara (Mara North Conservancy) (4 nights)

Offbeat Mara Camp is a small, traditional semi-­permanent camp situated on the Olare Orok water system, in the Mara North Conservancy (MNC). This unspoiled part of Masai land is an area full of wildlife but far from any other camp or lodge.

The Mara North Conservancy has fantastic game viewing all year round, including the Offbeat Lion pride just outside the camp. The MNC has low camp/ lodge density, is open only to member camps, and has a strict number of vehicles permitted at sightings. Offbeat Mara works with the local Maasai community, employing many in the camp, within all departments.

All our guides are graduates of the Koiyaki Guiding School and all have KPSGA silver badges. The Mara offers amazing wildlife viewing throughout the year and features the annual wildebeest migration from July to September.

The camp only sleeps up to 20guests in four large double/ twin en suite tents, and then a further three family tents, which are a double and twin unit, also with an en suite bathroom. These family units can also make for a lovely honeymooner’s tent, with more space and privacy.

The en-­suite bathrooms each have hot safari showers, wash-­basins, and flush loos. The spacious tents are all furnished with large, handmade cedar beds, 24-hour solar lighting, and the finest linen.

Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire. Delicious English breakfasts, lighter lunches, and three-course dinners are served each evening. Guests can also relax in the bar and living room tent, which is furnished with comfortable sofas, a writing desk, and library, and a fully stocked bar.

Besides daily game drives guests can also take short walks, try some fishing or visit a local village. Bush breakfasts, bush dinners, and sundowners are all part of the normal day and photographic opportunities are excellent all year round.
