This plan has return flights to Amboseli and return flights to Maasai Mara. Hence it is more comfortable and time saving. Each plan has its own merits. I would recommend plan B.
Why do I recommend Cheetah Camp:
T Cube Safaris which is a highly respected safari operator in East Africa. All Camps are eco-friendly and with top ratings on TripAdvisor. Other Camps are: Lion Camp, Mara camp (both also in the Maasai Mara area), Amboseli Camp (in Selenkay near Amboseli), Rhino Camp (in Ol Pejeta).
Cheetah Camp is the newest of the Camps and it opened to guests on 1st June 2017.
- It is a small tented camp (just 6 tents) in the wilderness. It is unfenced which brings back the charm of safari camps of the past.
- It is located in a conservancy. This means a larger concentration of big cats.
- Off-road drives are possible.
- Night drives allowed.
- You do not rush back to your camp at sunset, instead you have a leisurely drink in the savannahs admiring the glorious Mara sunset.
- The camp hosts, the Banerjee couple live there. They are avid wildlife enthusiasts and do this out of passion for wildlife.
- In case you need an Indian touch to the meals being offered, Mrs Jui Banerjee will be happy to oblige you to the extent she can.
In the attached vehicle picture, you not only see the large open windows of the vehicle but you also get an idea of off-road drives and proximity of wildlife.
Vegetarian food will not be an issue anywhere, whichever plan you select.
