Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri is Virgin Limited Edition's safari camp in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, a private wildlife area of about 140 square kilometres on the north-eastern edge of the Maasai Mara. The conservancy limits visitor numbers across its five camps, so game drives feel quiet and unhurried.

The camp itself is small, with 12 safari tents, each with a king bed that can be split into twins, plus a family tented suite. There is a heated infinity pool, a spa and a fire deck over the gorge. It is open all year, and the whole camp can be booked for a wedding.

Ceremonies take place out on the land or around the camp. Lone Tree Hill puts you under big trees looking across the savannah, Big Rock catches the sunset and suits sundowners and bush dinners, and the Pool Deck, Fire Deck and Shepherd's Nook work for smaller vows, receptions and private dinners. Couples can choose a civil ceremony or a blessing, and Maasai traditions can be woven in, from beaded jewellery and wraps to dancers and singers at the feast. Ask the team about legal paperwork for UK couples.

With 12 tents and a maximum of 24 wedding guests, everyone sleeps in camp, and the wedding packages cover three nights, meals, drinks, twice-daily game drives and airstrip transfers. Guided walks, stargazing, Maasai cultural visits and hot air balloon flights at sunrise, at extra cost, fill the days.

Getting there is part of the adventure. Fly into Nairobi, then take a scheduled light aircraft from Wilson Airport to the Olare Orok airstrip, about 50 to 60 minutes, followed by a 20 minute drive. Light aircraft allow 15 kg of luggage, so pack the wedding outfit carefully.
