Intro
Highlights
In addition to the exceptional setting of the camp with its special ambience, the cuisine and wonderful game viewing experience, our well qualified guides consistently earn the praise of our guests. Our bespoke approach means that each group of guests sets their own daily agenda with flexibility according to their personal preferences.
Need To Know
Being a seasonal eco camp, we have no permanent structures and make minimum impact on the environment in keeping with our conservation values and practices. Aware that local communities need to benefit from tourism, nearly all of our staff are local Maasai.
Wildlife
Our location on the banks of the Mara River, close to the Musiara Marsh affords exceptional game viewing. We are fortunate to have 4 eco-zones, with the corresponding variety of animals and birds on our doorstep and are located in the area where The BBC's Big Cat Diaries and Disney's African Cats were filmed. We are within easy reach of major "crossing" points during the annual migration.
