If a wild safari adventure is likely to get a loved one’s heart racing, then Mahali Mzuri, set in the heart of the Kenyan Maasai Mara, with exhilarating game drives along with gourmet meals, fine wines and pampering could be just the thing. During a stay, guests will be whisked away to a secluded location for a romantic picnic lunch and as dusk falls on the final night, the team will take guests to a secluded location in the bush to share an intimate dinner, lit only by lanterns and the stars.
