Many travelers often associate safaris solely with the thrill of observing wild animals in their natural habitat, but the Ishara experience transcends this common misconception. It encompasses a holistic journey of mindfulness, gourmet dining, wellness, and relaxation within the ethos of sustainable luxury, where elegance and environmental stewardship are seamlessly blended. An Ishara safari is a mosaic of meaningful and transformative experiences, a reminder that amidst our fast-paced lives, there exists a place where time slows, hearts open, and the beauty of the natural world reminds us of who we are and what truly matters.

Ishara was built to accommodate an array of travelers with different wishes and needs. Whether you are a solo traveler or part of a group, and whether you are seeking exhilaration or relaxation, we have a breathtaking space for you to experience everything you desire.

Our location is comfortably accessible by road or air, only 262km from Nairobi by car or a
short flight to the Mara’s Olkiombo airstrip, 5km away. Your adventure starts upon arrival with
your personal guide meeting you at the airstrip or at Sekenani Gate

• Unfenced and in the heart of the Reserve, Ishara is often visited by wildlife such as hippos, giraffes, elephants, and even lions and leopards. The camp’s manmade waterhole has become a place where nature finds sustenance, transforming into a spectacular carnival of life from day to night and across the seasons. It attracts diverse wildlife from near and far, even acting as a checkpoint for birds and mammals undertaking their annual migrations.
• Game drives within the Reserve and the Mara Triangle feature a multitude of abundant wildlife habitats.
