Best Time to Visit

Ideal Pairing

"If you've made it up here you enjoy life away from the crowds and it's unlikely to be your first safari. Therefore the pairing for a perfect trip is crucial. I always love Borana Conservancy, no matter the time of year, or perhaps Ol Donyo in the foothills of Mt. Kilimanjaro might be the one. If you were to pair this with the Maasai Mara then it needs to be somewhere in the far corners of the conservancies, one of the House in the Wild properties perhaps."
