The spirit of the journey

The keywords of this journey: romance, adventure and exploration.
The ultimate “Out of Africa” safari, with unmatched elegance and proven expertise.

Discover southern Kenya between Chyulu Hills and the Masai Mara, staying at the remarkable Relais & Châteaux lodges of Great Plains Conservation.

Chyulu Hills National Park opens its gates to begin your journey.
Wild, timeless beauty at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, amid the green hills of Chyulu.
Ol Donyo Lodge is also a pioneer of ethical, responsible tourism, through its work with the local Maasai population.

From there, head to the Masai Mara, one of Africa’s largest wildlife reserves, with plains stretching as far as the eye can see.
During the months of the Great Migration, you may witness the astonishing spectacle of wildebeest crossing the land and the rivers, trying to evade the crocodiles.

A tribute to the essence of East Africa.

CHYULU HILLS NATIONAL PARK
Your journey begins with the discovery of Chyulu Hills National Park, one of the youngest mountain ranges in the world, marked by its lush green hills.
Take in a view of Kilimanjaro found nowhere else, thanks to the strategic position of Ol Donyo Lodge, a Great Plains Conservation property, where you will stay for 3 nights.

Night and day safaris, bush walks, village visits, exploration of lava tunnels, horseback riding, mountain biking, or a night under the stars — Ol Donyo Lodge spares no effort in making this a genuine, authentic adventure.

ol Donyo Lodge

ol Donyo Lodge se trouve dans un cadre extraordinaire, entre deux parcs nationaux du Kenya, Tsavo East et Amboseli, au cœur des Chyulu Hills. 
Le lodge ol Donyo est un pionnier parmi les lodges de safari et un précurseur du tourisme durable avec son immense étendue de terres privées louées par Great Plains aux Maasai locaux dans le cadre d'un accord visant à préserver la faune et la flore de la région. Sur les pentes des collines de Chyulu, ce lodge allie design contemporain et traditionnel.
Séjourner à ol Donyo, c'est explorer l'Afrique d'une manière peu commune, à cheval ou en 4x4, à pied ou dans une cache à quelques pas de certains des plus grands éléphants du monde. ol Donyo Lodge jouit d'une situation exceptionnelle, avec la savane à ses pieds qui s'étend à perte de vue, face au Mont Kilimandjaro.

OLARE MOTOROGI, PRIVATE CONCESSION OF THE MASAI MARA
You will fly over the breathtaking landscapes of the Masai Mara before landing in the private Olare Motorogi concession, located on the northern boundary of the Masai Mara, where you will stay for 3 nights.
It encompasses the lower valleys of the Olare Orok and Ntiakitiak rivers, riverine forest, the Ntiakitiak gorge, and a 12 km escarpment beneath which stretch vast expanses of acacia woodland.

This private concession, with limited vehicle traffic and a remarkably high density of big cats, promises privacy and, above all, exclusivity.
That is the whole advantage of a private concession: few vehicles, but a great number of species.

Raised on stilts within the canopy, the 7 tents of Mara Plains Camp, beautifully fitted out in traditional safari style, blend into the landscape without disturbing its beauty.

Activities are organised day by day, to make the most of what this unique landscape offers at any given moment.

And for an even more memorable experience, why not take a hot-air balloon ride over the Masai Mara?

Mara Plains Camp

Niché dans la végétation luxuriante d'un méandre de la rivière Ntiakitiak au cœur des 14 000 hectares de la Olare Motorogi Conservancy et bordé au sud par la réserve nationale du Masai Mara, Mara Plains est incontestablement l'un des meilleurs camps du Masai Mara, offrant une belle expérience Out of Africa et une richesse animalière exceptionnelle.
Olare Motorogi n'abrite que 5 camps, une exclusivité sans précédent dans le Masai Mara. Mara Plains offre la possibilité de faire des safaris dans la concession mais également dans la célèbre réserve nationale.
Mara Plains Camp fait partie de l'association Great Plains, ce qui implique plusieurs engagements : sauvegarder l’une des dernières poches de nature sauvage de l’Afrique, protéger grands félins et autres animaux de la savane et soutenir les communautés locales.

Being part of the Great Plains Conservation association comes with responsibilities: safeguarding one of Africa’s last pockets of wilderness, protecting big cats and other savannah wildlife, supporting local communities…
The preservation of endangered species is a priority.
A genuine approach to responsible ecotourism, in which neighbouring Maasai families are directly involved.
