- 5 Tent/s
Mara Expedition Camp is located on the banks of the Ntiakitiak River, within a private and secluded site in the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve.
The Conservancy also features the impressive Ntiakitiak Gorge and a beautiful escarpment, which is around 12 kms long.
Set at ground level and shaded by the forest canopy, the five tents forego fancy amenities but have everything you could possibly need.
With bucket showers, flushing toilets and hot and cold running water, each tent is decorated with what early explorers may have carried with them such as old Indian campaign chests, brass chandeliers, rich leather and hardwood furniture, combined with soft cottons and rich textiles.
The camp is in prime leopard territory and the annual zebra and wildebeest migration passes by literally in front of your tent, offering you the chance to witness this spectacle first-hand from the comfort of your verandah.
Activities include early morning and afternoon game drives in open 4×4 vehicles within the Masai Mara Reserve, bush picnics, nature walks, visiting schools, Masai village visits and beading and craft workshops. Hot air balloon flights can be arranged at an additional cost. The Masai Mara horse riding experience is an optional extra safari experience operated by the Ride Kenya - Mara stables. Limited to maximum eight guests and dependant on guest’s riding experience, these two hour outrides are available as a morning or afternoon activity.

Region
Globally famous for its exceptional population of Africa’s finest animals, Masai Mara is undoubtedly the leading National Park in observing the Big Five. Located in Narok County, South-Western Kenya, the reserve covers some 1,500 square kilometres of gently rolling grassland.
Established in 1961 and named in honour of the Masai people (the ancestral inhabitants of the island), the park comprises around a dozen community conservancies, several group ranches and numerous Masai villages, as well as extensive open terrain in which an abundance of wildlife roam freely.
Having recorded 95 species of amphibians, reptiles and mammals, including lions, leopards and cheetahs, along with 400 bird types, one can see why Masai Mara is a popular safari destination. In July, the reserve becomes even more magical, as this is when over 1.5 million animals arrive in the park from the Serengeti, in a movement known as the Great Migration. Herds of zebra, gazelle and wildebeest can be seen frolicking in the Kenyan sun, and is guaranteed to leave you with treasured memories of a quintessential African holiday.
