Mara Bush Houses

Location

A remarkably high density of wildlife

The nearby Lemek Hills are a haven for the endangered wild dog – a highlight of any safari. Leopard and cheetah are frequently seen in the area, while you may well encounter grazing zebra and elegant waterbuck each time you step outside. The skill of our guides means you’re also likely to spot some of the lesser-known – but no less intriguing – birds, animals and reptiles that call the Mara home.
