As well as Enonkishu, guests also have access to the extensive Ol Chorro and Lemek Conservancies – all of which provide excellent game viewing across a variety of landscapes and away from the busier tourist trails. The Maasai Mara Reserve is also close at hand and game drives there are also available – but at additional cost and usually only recommended during the annual wildebeest migration.
