Peregrine Falcon Fly-In Safari: Summary
Peregrine Falcon Safari in a nutshell
This contrasting fly-in safari offers an in-depth exploration of Kenya’s Meru National Park and Mara North Conservancy, combining remote wilderness with exciting game and stays at two top-quality sister camps.
Built around the trees and rocky outcrops of Mughwano Hill, Elsa’s Kopje offers spectacular, uninterrupted views across the park’s savannah. From here, guests can explore the wild and peaceful surroundings, rich in wildlife and host to rewardingly few other visitors, either by 4x4 vehicle or thrillingly immersive bush walks. The protected area of Meru’s Rhino Sanctuary is home to a healthy population of both black and white rhino, proving a worthwhile pull for those hoping to sight all of the "big five".
In a similarly quiet region, Mara North Conservancy’s Elephant Pepper provides access to the same big-hitting game, away from the crowds. The camp is situated in an area notably favoured by elephants and offers night drives to optimise chances of sighting nocturnal hunters, like leopards.
Both camps are of the same high quality, boasting a top standard of guiding and level of care. The length of this trip also makes use of long-stay discounts and this, coupled with the high comfort, spectacular views and wonderful locations, makes for an excellent-value safari.
