Mara Leisure Camp in Maasai Mara

Jamii cottages

The Jamii Cottages are solid buildings for those not wishing to sleep under the canvas of our tents. All the cottages inter-connect between a double room and a twin room and are most suited for families. They are all well furnished with a safari style theme and have everything found in the tents.

Jumbo tents

The jumbo tents include everything found in the Nyati tents and in addition they all have double beds, as well as being very spacious. Jumbo tent 3 & 4 are inter-connecting and will be suitable for families. They command the best view of the national park and have a spacious outdoor space suitable for a private function or bonfire.

Nyati tents

The Nyati tents have twin beds and create a safari atmosphere that will not disappoint. With lovely wooden floors and safari style furnishings, you will feel right at home in this part of East Africa. Karibu! The Nyati tents are perfectly situated along the banks of the Talek river and command a panoramic view of the Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Walking safaris

For that intimate encounter, take an exciting guided walking safari. Here you have the chance to come face to face with nature’s beauty both in flora and fauna. Our local Maasai guides will educate you about their land.

Balloon safaris

From this vantage point, you will experience a bird’s eye view of the Maasai Mara. Here you will be able to see beautiful and excellent scenery, with a variety of wildlife. To top off this special occasion, a full ‘Champagne Breakfast’ is organised on the landing site to celebrate the flight. The balloons take off at around 6.30am when the wind conditions are favorable for take off. There are four balloon safari companies operating within the area and advance bookings can be made through travel agents or on arrival at the camp. Wake up calls may be booked with the reception desk for an early cup of coffee or tea before departure.

Culture visits

This area is home to the Maasai people – a tribe that hasn’t had its colorful culture changed much over the centuries. For those who want to know more about Maasai culture, we can organize a visit and tour to local villages. Visit a Maasai Manyatta to learn more of the Maasai culture and purchase their hand made local crafts, in turn supporting their existence and lifestyle within the park.

Sundowners

The perfect way to end an amazing day in the Mara – enjoy sipping on a thirst-quenching cocktail to end your day on the best note. The sunset in the Mara is said to be one of the best sights in existence.

Guest lectures

The naturalist is available to give our guests lectures about the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, different wildlife species and birds. Discover the peaceful coexistence of the Maasai people with their habitat and the wildlife.
