Where it is
Nairobi, Kenya
Manzili Mara
Mara Triangle
The Mara Triangle is renowned for its year-round wildlife concentrations and serves as a critical crossing point for the Great Migration.
How To Get There
Scheduled flights from Nairobi to Kichwa Tembo Airstrip (just 20 minutes from the house). By road, the drive is five hours from Nairobi.
Flora & Fauna
The Mara Triangle hosts wildlife including lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and cheetah. Its diverse landscape spans open savannah with acacia trees, and riverine forests.
Cultural Impact
Manzili Mara is guided by a low-impact tourism model, designed to support both local communities and the natural ecosystem. Here, sustainability is not an add-on; it is the foundation.
