Mara North Conservancy is one of the most successful community conservancy models in Kenya — a 74,000-acre private conservation area owned by over 800 Maasai landowners who have leased their land for wildlife conservation in exchange for regular income. This pioneering approach has created a wildlife corridor that benefits both the Maasai community and the broader Mara ecosystem.
With strict vehicle limits (no more than 5 vehicles per sighting) and activities forbidden in the national reserve — including night drives, bush walks, and off-road driving — the conservancy offers an exclusive and immersive safari experience that represents the best of modern African conservation.
The best time to visit Mara North Conservancy depends on what you want to see.
