The Mara Siligi Signature

Durations

6 Days

Overview

This 6-Day “Siligi Signature” All-Inclusive is crafted for families and experiential travelers who don’t just want to seethe Mara, but want to soak it in.

By staying at the boutique Mara Siligi Camp, you avoid the crowds of larger lodges and gain access to a “home base” where the staff specializes in making the wild feel like a playground for all ages.

Unlike standard tours that add costs for every extra, we have pre-packaged the Mara’s most iconic moments into one price.

All-In Activities: Your Hot Air Balloon Safari, Masai Cultural Visit, guided Nature Walks, and Sundowners are already included.
The “Smart Season” Edge: By traveling Jan–June, we leverage 50% lower park fees ($100 vs. $200) to give you premium experiences at a fraction of the cost.
The Big Five Strategy: We use the Mara for the Big Cats and Nairobi National Park for a guaranteed Rhino sighting, ensuring families and travelers complete their checklist effortlessly.
