Professional trip designing for the inquisitive, independent and intrepid
Walk on the Wild Side
Women’s Group Safari September 29th – October 9th, 2013
Having recently returned from experiencing first hand a Karisia walking safari, our escort, Nancy Pole-Wilhite, immediately wanted to share her adventure with a small group of intrepid women. Mango has woven into this tour not only a walking safari but also a traditional safari to some of the most interesting locations in Kenya. With a few days on North Kenya’s Laikipia Plateau in a private conservancy, three days on a camel assisted walking safari led by Samburu warriors and a finale in the Masai Mara where the huge herds of the great wildebeest migration will be located, this trip offers a unique and amazing safari experience for the first time visitor and veteran safari goer.
$6,400 per person sharing, $825 Single Supplement
($6,400 based on 6-8 people, $6,200 based on 9-12 people)

Every day is unique and every safari is custom designed to suit different interests.
