Your six night accommodation plan

Where You Will Stay

Four named properties are used for these rates. See where you will spend each night and open the accommodation pages before you enquire. Your quote confirms the room arrangements and availability.

Hunter’s Luxury Manor is outside Amboseli National Park. Eagle Palace is a Nakuru town hotel, and Endeem is near Oloolaimutia Gate rather than inside the Masai Mara reserve. The seven day rates use Endeem’s Standard Room, not the Deluxe Tent used on our five day package. Any property or room upgrade is agreed and quoted separately.
