An Unrivaled, Exhilarating Adventure
There are signs or ‘Isharas’ everywhere. Signs of life, of beauty and of being reveal themselves at every turn.
Follow the signs and discover the secrets held by the vast plains of the Masai Mara. Listen carefully to the whispers of nature carried by the afternoon breeze, or the unified chants of the gathering migration; the drumbeat of a million hooves. Hear the mischievous calls released from the belly of the wild, or the last breath of the conquered prey as it echoes across the descending night sky.
Come as one person, leave as another
With one of the greatest bio-diversities in Africa, the Masai Mara boasts more than 95 mammal species, 550 bird species, and 1,000 plant species.
Our guides are masters in the art of wildlife spotting and are able to find and interpret tracks, animal behaviour, and other ‘Isharas’ to provide a captivating and in-depth safari experience. Hear dramatic stories of wild encounters passed down over generations, accounts of life in the Mara, and come to understand how these communities have coexisted with the land and wildlife over centuries.
Stories from the Wild
Discover the latest sightings in the Masai Mara and the stories that ignite our spirit.
A Birder’s Paradise
Ishara plays host to an eclectic assembly of birdlife, with each species narrating a saga of its own. Here, the air thrums with the sounds of chirps, trills, and calls—a cacophony that’s as harmonious as the colours they wear on their wings.
Watching the Generations Grow: A Mara Photographer’s Journey
The Mara is a masterclass in life itself, taught by the most graceful, resilient teachers imaginable—its big cats. Each day is a new chapter in their story, and being a part of it is a privilege that shapes our understanding of strength, survival, and the sublime beauty of existence.
Big Cats and their Guardian Trees
Beneath the aged boughs of a majestic tree, the chronicles of nature unfold, weaving tales not merely of survival but of a quest for dominion that mirrors our own.
