Why We Love it and You Will Too
- Night-time game drives are not permitted inside the Masai Mara, but you can experience them here in the Olerai Conservancy. Look out for spring hares, porcupine, bush babies and African owls.
- For a varied Masai Mara safari experience, lift off on a balloon safari over the Masai Mara, pay a visit to the local manyatta (settlement), and trot alongside herds of game on horseback.
- Lerai Safari Camp is the only permanent safari accommodation in the Olerai Conservancy which forms part of the greater Masai Mara ecosystem of southern Kenya.
- Stay in ‘Out of Africa’ style canvas tents without skimping on luxury. Intimately spaced, and completely private, you’ll feel like the only person at camp. The top-notch service will make you feel like it too.
- In between game viewing activities spend some time relaxing. Back at camp, you can easily catch sight of a wide variety of local birds and grazing wildlife that meander close by.
Your Masai Mara Safari Lodge Experience
What makes Lerai Safari Camp so special is that it is the only Masai Mara safari camp you can stay within Kenya’s newly formed Olerai Conservancy.
Lerai Safari Camp in the Masai Mara is easily accessible yet completely private, nestled along the seasonal Muliban river. You can partake in horse riding safaris, and intimate visits to a nearby Maasai village, along with your traditional 4x4 morning and evening game drives and guided bush walks. The surrounding area is packed with a healthy supply of migratory routes for wildebeest, zebra, herds of elephants and antelopes.
When you’ve adjusted to ‘African Time’, make yourself at home. It’s not hard to do at Lerai Safari Camp. The private tented suites are out of this world, thoughtfully designed with a treasure trove of antique-styled safari furniture and decor. If you love that ‘Out of Africa’ look and feel, Lerai truly had their finger on the pulse, while still maintaining a high level of luxury and comfort.
The main areas of the camp offer plenty of open spaces in which to relax and try some birdwatching. The staff are well-trained, friendly and always available to help you, should you need a top-up of your G&T or an extra blanket on cooler nights.
When you’re ready to continue your Kenya safari, we highly recommend checking into Lerai’s sister camps. Entim Mara, nestled within the Masai Mara National Reserve and The Cliff, located at Lake Nakuru. Our East Africa specialist can assist in creating the best itinerray for you.
