Adventure

Leopard Hill

Seated in a secluded valley, Leopard Hill looks down on a series of waterholes, providing ample opportunities to view game from the comfort of your accommodation. The lodge is nestled amongst a grove of fig trees which hold spiritual significance for the local Maasai people. A remarkable fig tree, known as the “Double Tree” sits close to Leopard Hill and was split in two by a bolt of lightning in the 1950s. Sunrises shine through this marvellous and idiosyncratic tree, painting a remarkable silhouette upon the backdrop of the spectacular morning skies. The luxury tents at Leopard Hill impress the guests with their motorised roofs which can retract to unveil the magisterial milky way at night. The seclusion of this remote valley provides astonishing stargazing opportunities in a landscape devoid of light pollution, and guests find themselves immersed in a naturalistic retreat which connects them to the beauty of Africa.

Mara Nyika Camp

Mara Nyika Camp is set nestled into a small woodland of umbrella thorn trees in the exclusive and protected Mara Naboisho Conservancy. This is an intimate and luxury camp, only accommodating 10 guests when at full capacity making this the perfect spot for a quiet but exciting safari experience, uninterrupted by large numbers of people. Suites are accessed by wooden walkways, and are on raised platforms affording stunning views over the vast rolling plains. The décor is comfortable, warm and traditional with a touch of luxury, explaining the Relais and Chateaux property recognition.

Naboisho Camp

On the plains of the renowned Naboisho Conservancy, Encounter Mara sits near the border of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, and is host to the Big 5 and a plethora of vibrant wildlife. The landscape of the Naboisho Conservancy is a lush haven for animals, and its exclusivity makes for some of the most stunning game viewing in the region with a diminished human presence. The luxury tents of the camp are set in the heart of the Naboisho Conservancy, where tranquil privacy allows guests to recline in secluded luxury. Attentive staff are happy to tailor a unique experience for travellers visiting Encounter Mara, and are the backbone of the award-winning eco-camp.

Basecamp Masai Mara

Along the banks of the Talek River, Basecamp Masai Mara has made its home. Guests find their sanctum alongside this thriving ecosystem in the world famous Masai Mara. Frequent guests to the Talek River are the exhilarating copper tail and vervet monkeys of the Masai Mara, who never fail to entertain and delight with their primate wit, and invariably their indelible capacity for mischief! With over 286 species of bird nearby, guests are greeted by a symphonic dawn chorus each morning, commencing the day with the rejuvenating songs of the savannah. Guest tents are all fitted with bio-flush toilets and solar-heated safari showers, and feature a balcony overlooking the great Masai Mara reserve. King-sized or Double Twin beds come as standards in all of the basecamp’s tents, and the blend of African naturalism with carefully curated minimalist aesthetics make for a stylish and idiosyncratic inflection of the surrounding landscape.

Elewana Sand River Masai Mara

Elewana Sand River Masai Mara lies upon the banks of the river of which it takes its name. Nestled in the southern region of the 8,000km2 Greater Mara, this location sits near the Kenyan-Tanzanian border, adjoining the Serengeti and Masai Mara in one immense ecosystem. The ancestral homelands of the Maasai tribespeople are one of the most incredible ecosystems on the planet, enjoying warm temperatures year-round, with low humidity, this other Eden is a paradise for the wildlife, which includes the Big 5, 450 different bird species, and many, many more. These lush pastures attract 1.3million wildebeest and zebra each year, who migrate en masse from the Serengeti, in what has been classed among the Seven Wonders of the World. The migratory crossings of the sand river are amongst the most incredible spectacles in Africa; with such close proximity to the camp, this location is but a stone’s throw from what may be the pinnacle of safari.

Lerai Safari Camp

Lerai Safari Camp lies in the golden savannah plains of the private Olerai Conservancy in southern Kenya. Between the Maasai Mara National Reserve and Naboisho Conservancy and barely 15 miles away from the Serengeti National Park, Lerai is a haven for wildlife and wildlife-lovers alike! With just 6 guest tents, you’ll be able to enjoy total peace and privacy while you immerse in your safari adventures. Whether you’re looking to get stuck in with game drives and horse riding or take it easy with a little birdwatching and a bit of pampering, Lerai invites you to journey with them through the Maasai Mara.

Angama Mara

Balanced on the verge of Africa’s Great Rift Valley, between heaven and earth, Angama Mara overlooks the vast plains of the Maasai Mara. This eagerly sought-out destination has everything one could possibly need for a perfect getaway – two separate and intimate camps, with 15 glass-fronted tented suites each, a private airfield and prime access to the Mara, custom-made safari days and all the warmth and hospitality that Kenya is known for. Angama Mara has an evocative power over its visitors, with guests having described a “dreamlike” feeling, a sense immediate connection, or of returning to somewhere they have never been. Reaching 300 metres above the Maasai Mara, Angama hangs in the balance of romantic escapism and authentic safari, nurturing a feeling of being where one is meant to be.

Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri is a luxury safari camp on the beautiful plains of Kenya, with a front-row seat within the private Olara Motorogi Conservancy. There are just 12 tents on the camp, each with its own expanse of land, so this is the perfect destination for a laid-back and secluded getaway. The camp can cater up to 24 guests at a time. Staying at Mahali Mzuri is a wonderful opportunity to see the Great Wildebeest Migration and other stars of Kenyan wildlife, including lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, cheetahs and more.

Mara Bushtops

Mara Bushtops is the perfect getaway destination to enjoy extravagant luxury and restorative tranquillity. Some have even called it the best camp in Kenya! While some locations may simply be base camp for travellers to explore surrounding areas, Mara Bushtops is most definitely another X on the map. From the award-winning Amani Spa and secret wine cellar to the scenic game drives and the best views in Maasai Mara, Mara Bushtops has everything they could possibly need to make your stay sensational and unforgettable. It is the only camp with an ample natural salt-lick by the watering hole, right in front of the spa and restaurant. The animals can’t wait to get their turn, allowing guests some of the very best viewings of African wildlife by day and by night, featuring appearances by gazelles, warthogs, zebra and impala, topi, buffalo, elephant, giraffe, leopards and lions.

Mara Expedition Camp

Mara Expedition Camp offers a chic, nostalgic and adventurous experience. It is unique to the industry and sits perfectly with the expert hospitality, specialised guiding and design that have become signature to the Great Plains Conservation. Guests visiting here will get the best of both safari worlds – the vibrant Maasai Mara ecosystem and the more private 70,000-acre Mara North Conservancy. The core of the camp’s ethos is the learning from and respecting of nature, where the Maasai Mara itself is the teacher. Unlike some other locations, there is a higher density of predators in the area so there is a constant reminder that the wilderness is not ours and must be respected at all times.
