Mahali Mzuri

Sir Richard Branson isn’t one for half-measures, and his delightful Mahali Mzuri is designed for a full-tilt—yet reposeful—African experience.Its 12 innovatively designed luxury tents are just one reason Mahali Mzuri was voted Favourite Safari Camp in Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards in 2016.

(And, it almost goes without saying that they resemble the common idea of “tent” about as much as a vintage Yugo resembles a Bentley). We come to Africa to see the animals (and leave in love with its people, something Sir Richard knows well), and Mahali Mzuri, situated in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a Maasai Mara success story, is a superb place to experience the Mara’s heart-stirring abundance of game, including, of course, the Big Five and their platitudinous supporting cast.
