THE LOCATION OF THE CONSERVANCY IS STUNNING!
We had such an amazing time here at Lalashe Mara Ripoi. The Location of the conservancy is STUNNING, it is incredibly quite and peaceful. Our guide Nicholas was so knowledgeable, fun, kind and he knew the pictures i wanted. We saw so many Elephants (babies too), lions with cubs, giraffes, so many other wildlife. Seeing Ben’s smiling face during meals was a treat for us, Daniel served yummy cocktails as well, we enjoyed walking safaris with Rob, very knowledgeable. We were so happy with all the bush breakfast and sundowners, they were PHENOMENAL. We hope to come back one day with the rest of the family. THANK YOU, THANK YOU

Day Game drives (Safaris)

All our game drives are conducted by very experienced professional Silver and Gold level Safari Guides. Each and every individual booking is assigned a private guide and 4×4 open sided Game viewer, No shared Game drives and this gives our guests unlimited time to plan their time as per their wish without having to consult other guests. In Lalashe Mara Ripoi our Safaris are done in the Mara Ripoi Conservancy twice a day, early in the morning before sunrise and late in the evening before sunsets but our guests will always plan with their guides what it suits them the best. We will also offer our guests optional drive into Maasai Mara Game Reserve. Our 4x4 customised safari vehicles depart early in the morning, and late in the afternoon when the temperature is cooler and the big cats and other game is more active. This is also the best time for our photography enthusiasts, as the lighting is still soft. Our expert guide will guide you through the Magical Mara’s Eco-system, while you encounter the Big Five and the other wildlife.

Night Game Drives

Lalashe Mara Ripoi is in private Conservancy, we are allowed to go out for night game drive for few hours just before dinner or after early dinner. Night game drives will give our guests opportunity to look for the rare and night active species such as Aardvarks, Pangolins, Porcupines, Leopards (Both day & Night active) ,White-Tailed Mongoose, Spring Hares, Civets among others. All our guides will be accompanied on night game drives by some of our night guards who will be helping in spotting , with the help of spotlights fitted with red filters that helps in not blinding of the animals seen at night.

Walking Safaris

This is the best way of getting closer to nature. Your senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing would be put to action at every step; Here you will step out of your safari vehicle and our qualified naturalists and experienced guides will leads this walking safari. Get closer to the giraffes, zebras, impalas and other plains game, smell some of the plants, taste some of the edible plants, touch some of the wildlife products, hear those snorting impala rams roaring, identify foot prints left by lions or leopards at night and other game and identify some interesting small game like spiders, butterflies, dung beetles, termites amongst others.

Cultural visits

Visit one of the villages in the Mara and learn a lot about our Maasai people and their interesting cultures. Here you will photograph Maasai warriors and women as they take you through their different entertaining songs with great jumps and moves. They will also welcome you to join them at your own comfort. Thereafter the Maasai cultural guide will take you to see Maasai huts and the cattle/sheep/goat’s lion proof kraal or boma. You will also get to learn and experience their culture.

Balloon Rides

Seeing Mara and its great wildlife from above is just breathtaking. Balloon rides last for about 45 minutes to about 1 Hour 15 minutes before having our famous champagne breakfast. This experience is not inclusive of our rates and is paid for separately. Please contact our reservation desk or your preferred travel agent for rates.

Photographic Safaris

Whether you are a professional photographer leading your small group of visitors on a photographic safari, are just a photography enthusiast yourself, we can assist you in following some of the great wildlife Kenya has to offer. Our open-sided 4x4 safari vehicles are custom made for photography and thus offer you great opportunity to capture some great images.

Sundowners

Our afternoon game drives offer our guests fantastic wildlife sightings. As the temperature cool, and the sun dips below the horizon, the bush comes alive. Big cats awaken from their daytime rest and bush’s nocturnal residents become active. As the day transitions into evening, our guides will find a safe spot to stop the game drive vehicles, and treat our guests to a sundowner where guests will get opportunity to watch African sun setting down.
