Discover a Different Side of Kenya's Wildlife

After the iconic plains of the Maasai Mara, extend your Kenyan adventure with sophisticated luxury game drives Nanyuki after Maasai Mara safari experiences. Mtalii Bush Camps, nestled at the foothills of Mount Kenya, offers a distinct and enriching wildlife perspective. While the Mara is renowned for its vast herds, Nanyuki and the surrounding Laikipia region provide unique opportunities to encounter rare species, vast landscapes, and enjoy exclusive conservancy access. This allows you to complete your Kenyan safari with a blend of familiar comforts and exciting new discoveries, making your trip truly comprehensive.

The Unique Wildlife and Landscapes of Nanyuki

Nanyuki and the Laikipia Plateau offer a different, yet equally captivating, safari experience. This region is a stronghold for endangered species, including the northern white rhino (at Ol Pejeta Conservancy), Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, and the African wild dog. Our luxury game drives are conducted in custom-designed 4x4 vehicles, offering comfort and optimal viewing. You'll explore diverse habitats, from open grasslands to acacia woodlands, with Mount Kenya providing a breathtaking backdrop. The conservancies here are committed to conservation, allowing for more intimate encounters with wildlife away from the crowds often found in more popular parks. This provides a sense of exclusivity and a deeper connection with nature.
