Ilora Retreats Masai Mara

Ilora Retreats Masai Mara is a high-end, five-star accommodation in the central Olkiombo area of the Masai Mara National Reserve close to Rhino Ridge. The camp is located 290 km (6-7 Hours drive) from the capital of Kenya, Nairobi, and only 2 km Olkiombo Airstrip (7 minutes Drive).  The flying time from Mombasa to Masai Mara is approximately 2 hours while from Nairobi is only a 45-minute flight.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is located in the southwest of Kenya, along the northern border of Tanzania. It is part of the larger Serengeti-Mara ecosystem spanning Kenya and Tanzania. Other distances from the camp include:
* 140 Km (4 Hours drive ) from Narok
* 18 Km (45 Minutes) from Musiara Gate
* 15 Km (40 Minutes drive) from Talek Gate
* 40 Km from Sekenani Gate (1.5 Hours drive)
* 5 Km (10 Minutes drive) Main Mara Crossing

On safari in the Masai Mara, you can expect to see the Big 5 (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino), and more. The sweet short-grass savannahs of the Mara River basin are jam-packed with wildlife. Thousands of antelope from tiny dik-diks to gazelles and eland intermingle with zebra, wildebeest, and other large herbivores like giraffes, buffalo, and elephants. Home of Disney’s Big Cat Diaries, the Masai Mara is renowned for its large pride of lions, cheetahs, leopards, and spotted hyenas and jackals. In recent years with the success of conservation efforts, African wild dogs – the rarest and most elusive of them all – have returned to the area, albeit seen infrequently. 

For avid birders, the Masai Mara is home to around 450 resident species including large terrestrial species like ostriches and kori bustards, almost 60 species of raptors including the impressive bateleur, long-crested eagle and vultures as well as a plethora of smaller colorful and diverse species like lilac-breasted rollers and violet-backed starlings. The best time for birding coincides with the wet season from November to April when European and North African species descend on Masai Mara to breed.

Though millions of migratory wildebeest and Burchell’s zebra move through Masai Mara from the Serengeti between July and October, the Masai Mara is a fantastic all-year-round safari destination. Plenty of resident wildlife within the park and the classic safari scenery puts on a show worth experiencing in its own right.

Ilora Retreats Masai Mara activities include morning and afternoon game drives, night Game drives, birding, watching the Great Wildebeest Migration, nature walks/walking, Horseback safaris, hot Air Balloon Safari, sundowners, and bush breakfast/dinner, Maasai Cultural Encounters, visit the Mara River and visiting private conservancies. Other activities include enjoying the pool, gym, spa, star gazing, open-air cinema under the African sky, conservation projects, and yoga in the African bush.
