Stay at Topi House

Topi House borders both the 23,000 acre Olare Orok Conservancy and the Maasai Mara National Game Reserve. The site has been carefully selected to maximise the views through the small thorn tree forest, in which the house sits, over the national park boundary and into the reserve beyond. The house lies just 40 minutes, as part of a game drive, from Ol Kiombo airstrip. From this coveted spot you get unrivalled access to the eastern side of the Maasai Mara.

This is designed to be your very own private bush home in the middle of Africa’s greatest ecosystem. It comes with a full complement of well-trained and experienced staff at guests’ disposal including a chef, wildlife guide and house manager to ensure a seamlessly-run and personal safari experience. The area, with its rolling hills, is ideal for bush picnics and sundowners with a view. The property is positioned directly on the wildebeest migration route and has been known to experience huge volumes of game right up to the front door.

The house consists of three well sized en-suite bedrooms which are linked by a large veranda running along the front. At the far end lies the living area, which is made up of an open plan sitting/dining room complete with an open log fire. Guests can also sit around the camp fire near the house, under the stars. Your team will prepare all meals to the usual high standard and will cater for bush picnics or lunches out on the lawn under the shade of the acacia trees.

A fully qualified guide and vehicle will be on hand to assist with a wide range of safari activities which can include game drives and visits to local villages, schools and trading centres. Game viewing is done primarily in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve and can be arranged in the conservancy, so offering a wide range of experiences.

I went on an adventure of a lifetime to Kenya, planned by True Travel. Borana was the perfect introduction to Africa – the staff were fantastic, the lodge very comfortable and I had amazing wildlife sightings. Then the helicopter flight and night out with Andrew (the real Crocodile Dundee) was an experience of a lifetime; we went scorpion hunting, crocodile catching, swimming in lakes and flew over flamingos. All in all, everything was fantastically planned and the service was brilliant. I’m looking forward to the next adventure!
