Direct answer
Kenya is a top-tier luxury safari destination — private Mara conservancies (Mara North, Olare Motorogi) allow off-road driving and night drives, while flagship camps like Angama Mara (USD 1,850–2,750/pp/night), Governors' Il Moran, and Cottar's 1920s Camp deliver fly-in access, gourmet full board, and private guides. Bush flights from Wilson Airport reach the Mara in 45 minutes; a 7-night luxury circuit typically runs USD 6,000–10,500 per person sharing.
