Is the Basecamp Masai Mara for Me?

At the doorstep of Masai Mara National Reserve, Basecamp Masai Mara is located along the Talek river in a lush forest, giving the camp a serene atmosphere. 

Basecamp Masai Mara has 17 spacious river-view tents, including 2 family tents. The camps is mostly hidden away under thatched roofs on a lush peninsula and the tents offer great views of the savannah, always populated by wildlife.

In addition to the most amazing game viewing at your doorstep, you can engage with the local culture, spend time with the Maasai guides and discover their history, their knowledge of the wildlife and their former nomadic way of life.

Enjoy insightful game drives with local guides, share stories around the campfire, and be inspired by the dreams of young Maasai for their future.
