Why a private villa works

More privacy than a hotel room, more flexibility than a shared safari package.

Kitumo Mara is designed for guests who want the Maasai Mara without shared lounges, fixed dining times, or being matched with strangers in a vehicle. It is especially strong for families, couples who value privacy, and small groups that want one base for meals, pool time, and safari days.

Exclusive-use villa

One private home for your family or small group, sleeping up to 6 guests without shared guest areas.

Private pool and deck

A quiet base between safari days, with indoor living space, outdoor dining, and views toward the Mara landscape.

All meals included

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, coffee, bottled water, soft drinks, and snacks are included in the standard stay.

Safari package ready

Add Nairobi transfers, a dedicated guide, and private full-day game drives matched to the number of nights.

Complete safari package

Villa, meals, transfer, guide, and game drives can be packaged together.

For direct bookings, the cleanest structure is to keep accommodation and meals clear, then add safari transport and game drives as a private vehicle package. This avoids the OTA problem where transfer costs get forced into a per-day add-on.

Build your package

Game-drive rhythm

1

Day 1: arrive and settle in

The standard package treats arrival day as transfer and check-in time. A half-day game drive can be added when arrival timing makes sense.

2

Day 2: full-day safari

A full-day private game drive normally runs from 06:00 to 18:00 with your guide and vehicle.

3

Longer stays: more full safari days

A 2-night stay includes 1 full-day game drive, 3 nights includes 2, and 4 nights includes 3.

Group-size value

The same private vehicle feels different for 2 guests than for 6.

That is why the rates calculator separates accommodation from transport and game drives. Couples can use a lower small-group vehicle rate, while families and larger groups benefit from sharing one private vehicle.
