De Brazza Monkey Fly-in Safari: Summary
De Brazza Fly-in Safari in a nutshell
Explore two contrasting regions with safari in the remote wilderness of northern Kenya and the game-rich plains of the Maasai Mara ecosystem.
In the scorched, craggy landscapes of Namunyak Conservancy, Sarara is a unique oasis offering a truly immersive safari experience. Guests might venture into the surroundings on foot, by camel or on horseback, while night drives and fly-camping offer further opportunities to observe the wildlife from a new perspective. The camp’s strong exposure to local culture, where guests might visit the nearby villages, Retiti Elephant Sanctuary or the singing wells, further contributes to the unforgettable holistic atmosphere.
By contrast, stays at Serian Nkorombo and Serian boast a completely wildlife-orientated experience, where their enviable locations provide fast access to thrilling and varied game. These intimate, traditional tented camps are respectively positioned at the heart of the Mara National Reserve and high above a beautiful stretch of the Mara River in the Mara North Conservancy. Wildlife in the Mara ecosystem is outstanding, and guests stand a good chance of migration sightings during visits in the peak months.
To finalise the quality of this safari, private vehicles and guides are available throughout. Guests can enjoy a vast degree of flexibility, exploring their surroundings when and how they see fit.
