Rekero is ideally situated for the annual wildebeest migration set up annually in the very middle of the Masai Mara, providing a truly memorable Masai Mara experience. Every year the camp is removed for two months to allow the bush and the many wildlife neighbours to return to the site leaving a fresh and recovered wilderness for the next season.

All you need to know

Intro

An intimate camp, Rekero offers everything one could want from a safari – excellent guiding, excellent staff and a perfect location. A finalist for 'Best Safari Property' in 2010 as well as 'Best Safari Guiding Team in Africa', followed by winning 'Best Safari Guiding Team' in Africa in 2011. 

Situated 150 metres away from a crossing point on the Talek River, Rekero Camp is the perfect place to view the Great Migration in the Masai Mara.The camp evokes the charm of African safaris from a bygone era with nine romantic tents and spectacular views of the surrounding game-filled plains

Highlights

The position of Rekero Camp, on the banks of the Talek River with a regular Migration crossing point within view from the breakfast table, makes for an idyllic setting which is hard to beat.

Superb year round game viewing with highly knowledgeable guides

Cultural visits to nearby communities

Unparalleled views of the Great Migration crossing point in front of camp

Close to the Mara River for easy access to other crossing points

Need To Know

9 comfortable and well-furnished safari tents follow the line of the river, each with a view over the waters and to the plains beyond. The homely and relaxed style of Rekero Camp will embrace you and have you making plans to return before you even leave.

Safaris

Driving, walking, ballooning, cultural visits. Wildlife viewing and bird watching can be experienced in specially adapted vehicles or outside the park on foot. With both, you are in the company of experienced Il Dorobo and Masai guides who can share with you, through their eyes, a world that only they know. This can be a full day in the bush or shorter excursions returning to the calm of camp. The cultural aspect is one of the strongest elements of the experience either in camp or with a visit to one of the villages in which the guides live.

Wildlife

The camp is ideally set up to view the annual wildebeest migration and some of the resident big cats plus a diversity of other wildlife. The area around Rekero has some of Africa’s most famous cats including the stars of the recent Disney movie ‘African Cats’ and much of the activity in Rekero is based around observing these big cats. Also popular are the guided game walks and cultural visits to the local communities.
