Masai Mara

Kicheche Mara Camp, Masai Mara

The most rewarding way to experience the magic of the Masai Mara is from the secluded comfort of a traditional tented camp. Unfenced and hidden away in a thicket of olive trees on the edge of the reserve, Kicheche impinges so little on the natural environment that animals wander freely through the camp at any time.

There are just 11 spacious en suite tents, and a range of activities that include night game drives and bush walks. Kicheche have opened a satellite bush camp in the newly formed Olare Olok Conservancy bordering the Mara. The wildlife is so prolific here that game viewing starts right outside your tent, and the camp is also well located for the annual wildebeest migration.

Richard's Camp, Masai Mara

This small, exclusive and traditional camp on the north-western boundary of the Masai Mara has just six very individual tents. Here, guests have the opportunity to experience the real Africa - days of enthralling game viewing, evenings by a cosy campfire and delicious meals under an awe inspiring canopy of stars.

Richard's Camp is owned and operated by Richard Roberts and his partner, Liz Fusco. Richard, whose parents Willy and Sue were instrumental in bringing together the Masai communities and forming the wildlife conservation association that exists in this area today, was raised in the Mara, and his intimate knowledge of the area, together with Liz and a warm and welcoming staff, ensure guests a very special stay.

Governors' Camp, Masai Mara

Nestled in lush riverine forest along a 12km private concession on the winding banks of the Mara River, the three Governors' camps in the Masai Mara provide traditional hospitality in superb surroundings. The camps lie in some of East Africa's most spectacular landscape and in the heart of Kenya's best wildlife areas.

Each camp offers spacious luxury en-suite tents with a central dining tent and open bar. Governor's Camp has 37 nestled on the river bank of the Mara, Little Governor's has 17 tucked around a large watering hole, and the intimate Il Moran Camp deep in the forest has just 10. Game viewing from each, either in 4x4s or on foot, is exceptional, and optional hot air balloon safaris offer a unique perspective.
