Safari Itinerary

6-Day Walking Safaris Across The Mara Conservancies

This is a unique opportunity to join a walking expedition across the Mara conservancies. You’ll be able to see the landscape and wildlife in a way that you never could from a 4x4 safari vehicle. You’ll be able to stay in fly camps, permanent camps, and safari houses along the way, so you don’t have to worry about anything except enjoying your time on this incredible journey.

You'll be walking between 15 and 20 kilometres per day and carrying a daypack which includes a packed lunch, snacks, and 3-litres of drinking water. This itinerary is not for the faint-hearted or unfit!

Masai Mara Safaris, where one gets to traverse the lands, should be at the top of most people's bucket lists.
