Ishara Mara
Overview of Ishara Mara
Kenya, Masai Mara
Ishara Mara is located in the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve—Kenya's premier safari destination. Explore the vast expanse of the reserve, seeking out Big Five wildlife across diverse landscapes, from endless savannah vistas to dense woodlands. Curated game drives and photography safaris will take you 4x4ing across shallow rivers or riverbeds, capturing the perfect snap of zebras grazing in the grasslands or a majestic African sunset from the top of a rocky outcrop.
You can also indulge in unique outdoor activities, including hot air balloon safaris and immersive sleep-out experiences that elevate the classic safari. The camp is perched along the Talek River, shaded by towering acacia trees, creating a tranquil haven of seclusion. Nestle into a chair on the expansive deck, wine in hand, savouring the quiet views of elephants as they come to drink at the nearby watering hole.
This accommodation is ideal for couples seeking a romantic safari retreat, with the lodge catering to both thrill-seekers and laidback adventurers. After immersive game drives, photography safaris, and wellness treatments, return to your luxury suite, surrounded by lavish comforts that will have you lulling off to sleep, dreaming of the next day's adventures.
