Gateway to the Greater Maasai Mara

 

The Spinney on the Mara is your ultimate basecamp for exploring the Masaai Mara from North to South.

There are 24 conservancies within the greater Maasai Mara ecosystem (see map) - arguably the the world’s premier safari park. The Spinney is located the Mara’s North Western tip. The Mara’s northern conservancies are known for their abundant wildlife and privacy; the number of tourists in the area are tightly controlled.

Located within the Naretoi Wildlife Estate, guests have easy access to Enonkishu, Ol Chorro, Mbokishi and Lemek Conservancy Areas (some restrictions to Lemek apply).

The Mara National Reserve and Mara Triangle are approximately an hour drive from The Spinney. Guests are welcome there (but have to pay a separate conservancy fee).
