Description

Mara North Conservancy Kenya Safari – Exclusive Wildlife Adventures

Discover Mara North Conservancy

The Mara North Conservancy Kenya Safari lies within the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem and offers one of the most authentic safari experiences in East Africa. This private conservancy covers over 30,000 hectares of open savannahs, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests. Unlike the crowded sections of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Mara North provides a peaceful and exclusive atmosphere where visitors enjoy wildlife viewing at their own pace.

This conservancy is a model of community-driven conservation. Managed in partnership between local Maasai landowners and safari operators, it ensures both wildlife protection and community benefit. As a result, every guest contributes directly to preserving Kenya’s natural heritage and supporting local livelihoods.

Wildlife and Nature

The Mara North Conservancy Kenya Safari features a diverse range of wildlife all year round. Herds of elephants roam freely through the grasslands, while lions, cheetahs, and leopards hunt across the plains. You may also encounter giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, topis, and buffalos. Birdwatchers will find more than 300 bird species, including lilac-breasted rollers, secretary birds, and crowned cranes.

From July to October, the Great Migration brings massive herds of wildebeest and zebra into the conservancy. This natural spectacle, combined with the abundance of predators, makes Mara North one of the best safari destinations in Kenya for witnessing dramatic wildlife interactions.

Things to Do

A Mara North Conservancy Kenya Safari offers more than traditional game drives. Guests can enjoy guided bush walks, night drives, and cultural visits to nearby Maasai villages. Horseback safaris and hot-air balloon rides are also available, giving travelers new perspectives of the vast landscape.

Many camps in the conservancy offer eco-friendly luxury, providing comfort while maintaining sustainability. Visitors can dine under the stars, relax by campfires, or listen to the distant roar of lions, experiences that make every evening magical.

Best Time to Visit

Mara North is open all year, but the best time to visit depends on what you wish to experience. The dry season (June to October) offers clear skies and excellent wildlife viewing. The green season (November to May) brings lush vegetation, newborn animals, and fewer crowds. Each period has its own charm, ensuring that every visit feels unique and memorable.

Getting There and Accommodation

The Mara North Conservancy Kenya Safari is accessible by road or air from Nairobi. Daily flights to nearby airstrips make it convenient for travelers seeking a short getaway or a multi-day safari adventure.

Accommodation options range from luxury tented camps to intimate eco-lodges, each offering guided safaris and exceptional hospitality. These lodges are designed to blend into the environment, allowing guests to stay close to nature while enjoying modern comfort.

Whether you are on your first safari or returning to Kenya’s wilderness, Mara North Conservancy promises a deeply personal and rewarding experience that combines conservation, culture, and adventure.
