What Makes Us Stand Out
Experience
The Robert's family has been in the safari industry for over 50 years, operating and guiding safaris across the continent and developing lodges across Kenya, as well as contributing hugely to wildlife conservation in Kenya. Ross and Caro with their wonderful team will make your safari experience unforgettable.
Willie Roberts, the founder of Mobile Expedition's and Caro's father was a true visionary and one of the forefathers and most instrumental ambassadors of wildlife conservation in Kenya. He set up the first wildlife conservancy on government land in Kenya in the Maasai Mara, essentially founding the 'conservancy movement', saving the greater area from being carved up for farming, laying down a clear path of success for community conservancies in Kenya and setting an example and an inspiration for others to follow.
Light Environmental Footprint
We have a really light environmental footprint as we use solar power all through the camp, no plastics are allowed, we recycle and reuse, leave no trace when the camp moves plus all our food is locally sourced from the community.
Conservation
At Mobile Expeditions, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to operate in harmony with the environments in which we set up our camps, and ensure a very light eco-footprint.
We are also committed to giving back to the areas we visit and to the greater Kenyan wilderness and wildlife.
Ruko is a community conservancy on the eastern shores of Lake Baringo. Ross and Caro were greatly involved in the setting up of the Ruko Community Wildlife Trust after clashes between the Pokot and Njemps brought their elders to the area looking for an urgent solution to ongoing tribal conflict.
Working in conjunction with the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT), Ruko is a fair partnership between the Njemps and Pokot communities of Lake Baringo, whose aim is to restore and protect the region for the benefit of its wildlife and its communities. The reintroduction of the endangered once reffered to "Baringo giraffe" now known as Rothschild Giraffe has been a successful and rewarding project for the Baringo community.
Staying with us helps support the local Masai community in terms of jobs and conservation fees which are channeled to projects that are impactful to the community.

Bird Watching
Kenya is home to the most amazing birdlife, the Mobile Expeditions guides are equipped with a wealth of knowledge and are keen to impress any keen twitcher. A week with us, and we will aim to find guests a lifer or two.
Bush breakfasts, picnics and sundowner excursions
Enjoy your meal outside, breathe in the fresh Mara air, take in the sights and sounds of the birds, and the fresh breeze, and enjoy being out in the wild. Whether this be by the river, under a special Mara acacia on the open plains, or in the bush. The Mara Expeditions team will be ready to create an experience for all the senses.
Cultural and Community Visits
While staying with Mobile Expeditions, you have the opportunity to visit and learn from the Maasai Tribe. We encourage guests to visit the local village to see and speak with the Maasai about their lives in the Mara ecosystem. Guests can visit a "manyatta" which is a mud house that the Maasai live in. We also have the opportunity for guests to visit and buy from our local ladies who produce intricate, high-quality beaded jewellery and items, which form the perfect keepsake from your safari with us.
Game Drives
Experience the wonders of the Maasai Mara from the comfort of the specialised 4x4 vehicles. Spend the morning, evening or even a full day roaming the Mara plains catching sight of the amazing wildlife that the Mara has to offer, including the Big 5 and hundreds of other amazing species.
Hot Air Balloon
Experience the Mara like you never have before, for an additional cost, guests are able to take in the Mara plains, the river and the forests from the skies. Wake up early, and have a sunrise cruise over the Mara, followed by champagne on the plains with a gorgeous breakfast among the wildebeest.
