Muthaiga Safari Camp” is like feeling at home in the Maasai Mara!!
Located in the Olderkesey area, the camp can be reached through the Keekorok airstrip by flights from Nairobi. Located in a 300 acres private concession with a airstrip nearby for private flights.
The landscape is extremely charming with lush vegetation, sweeping vistas, and grassy hills. 1600 meters high, malaria free with no need for vaccination.
All kinds of animals, elephants, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, lions and wildebeests live undisturbed following the rhythm of nature.
The camp is composed of seven tents (each one is dedicated to a famous person who has lived in Kenya : Karen Blixen, Beryl Markam, J. Alexander Hunter, F. Courtney Selous, Philip Percival, Denys Finch Hatton and Roy) and two villas (dedicated to the famous hunter Berkeley Cole and to Lord Delamere) respectively 180 and 205 sq. m., with luxury furniture and personal butler.
Mediterranean food made is savoury. We served good Italian , South African and French wines.
For those who wish it, the first safari starts at dawn, the best time to view the animals. Guests can wake up with a nice cup of coffee or a cup f tea. Later on, they will find a rich buffet with cakes, croissants, sandwiches, toasts, cornflakes and accompanied by coffee, tea, chocolate, juice fruit and fresh fruit.
At one o’clock p.m. lunch is served. If you want, you can order a pic nic lunch in the savannah. Tea time at five o’clock is a ritual with cakes expressly made and fancy cakes. If you wish, you can go for a safari at dusk, exactly when the lion starts hunting. The aperitif with ‘pizzette’, ‘samosa’ and ‘bruschette’ wine and beer is served around the fire or in the large verandas outside. Dinner is generally served at eight thirty p.m. at the candlelight with two first courses at your choice, two second courses, several side dishes, dessert. Coffee or spirits are served around the fire, in the starlight. This is the magic time of Maasai story tales : legend tells about a big black leopard that has its den near the camp, difficult to sight but always present. The safari villa, with a surface of about 185sq.ft., is located in a wonderful area surrounded by a luxurious wood with a nice natural water source. “Muthaiga Safari Camp ” , come sentirsi a casa nel Masai Mara!!
