the collection

Africa's greatest theatre, staged privately

The Mara is where a million wildebeest thunder across golden rivers, where lions doze in the shade of acacias, and where every sunset feels personally commissioned. We believe such a place deserves more than a package tour.

The Mara Collection crafts private journeys for discerning Indian travellers — families celebrating together, couples escaping the ordinary, and dreamers who want the Mara entirely their own way. Every rupee is accounted for, every moment is designed, and every day ends with the kind of dinner story your friends won’t believe.

Uncompromising camps

Hand-picked luxury camps and private villas — the finest addresses on the Mara, never more than twenty tents.

Private, always

Your own 4x4, your own naturalist, your own rhythm. No shared vehicles, no crowded sightings, ever.

Consciously crafted

Partner camps that fund conservancies and Maasai communities — travel that gives back to the land you explore.

Told best by those who went

“From the moment we landed in Nairobi, everything was choreographed. Our daughters still talk about the Junior Ranger badge — and we still talk about that candlelit dinner in the bush. Worth every rupee.”

The Khanna Family

New Delhi · Junior Ranger Adventure · July 2025

“We had planned our honeymoon across three agencies. The Mara Collection's custom itinerary beat them all — private conservancy, zero crowds, and a balloon ride we will never forget. Flawless.”

Ananya & Rohan Mehta

Mumbai · The Grand Signature · September 2025

“Three generations, one villa, zero stress. My parents wanted comfort, the kids wanted adventure — the private chef and guide made it all look effortless. This is how safaris should be done.”

before you ask

The details that matter

Everything discerning travellers usually want to know before the first call. Something else on your mind? Your designer will happily answer it.

The Mara is spectacular year-round. July to October brings the Great Migration — river crossings at their dramatic peak — and is our busiest season. December to March offers lush landscapes, newborn wildlife and excellent value. Your safari designer will match the season to what you most want to witness.
Fly from Mumbai or Delhi to Nairobi (direct or one-stop, roughly 6–9 hours). All our journeys include private transfers from Nairobi — by road into the Mara, or by a 45-minute light-aircraft hop straight to your camp's airstrip. We handle visas guidance, insurance and every detail in between.
All prices are quoted in Indian Rupees (INR) with no hidden costs — park fees, stays, private vehicles, meals and listed experiences are included. Family journeys are priced per adult and per child; couple journeys are per person. International flights from India can be arranged on request.
Absolutely. Our partner camps are fully fenced where needed, staffed with medical support and used to hosting families across generations. Private vehicles mean you never share space with strangers, drives follow your family's pace, and every itinerary is built around the youngest and eldest in your group.
