7 Nights 8 Days Meru Masai Mara Luxury Flying Safari is a magical air safari in Kenya to two of the most famous and most diverse wilderness areas – Meru National Park and the Masai Mara Game Reserve.
Enjoy luxury accommodations at the Elsa’s Kopje – a luxury lodge with wide vistas and such imaginative architecture that it captures your heart immediately.
Elsa’s Kopje, named after Elsa the lioness, made famous by George and Joy Adamson’s biographical book and film “Born Free”, is an incredible achievement considering the landscape and the nature of the lodge.
It is almost invisible to the eye as it blends into the rocky crags of the “kopje” (small hill), built above the site of George Adamson’s original campsite. In Masai Mara you will be spoilt for choice.
Recalling an era of luxury and quality, Cottar’s 1920s Safari Camp in the Maasai Mara, returns to the original spirit and essence of ‘safari’, reminiscent of a golden era – an era of romance, professional guiding, adventure and elegance, in a timelessly unspoiled setting with panoramic views and boundless game.
