Mara Plains Camp
Each guest’s stay helps to contribute to various conservation and community projects
Mara Plains Camp, located just north of the Masai Mara Reserve in the 30,000-acre private Olare Motorogi Conservancy, provides outstanding game experiences without the restrictions that the reserve imposes on other lodges. Each guest’s stay contributes to a variety of conservation and community projects. Because of its privacy and low vehicle traffic, this conservancy is a huge plus. The Maasai Mara Reserve is easily accessible, but the game in the conservation area is just as good. Leopards are frequently seen passing through the camp, and lions can frequently be heard in the distance.
Stroll along walkways that wind through the forest between the tented suites built on high stilts with stunning views of the Ntiakitiak River or the Mara plains. Deep canvas canopied ceilings, rough-hewn wood floors, and accents of East Africa’s rich safari history can be found in each suite. Thick Lamu wood doors, deep purples, and brass accents are to be expected. The elevated library overlooks hippos lazing in the river, while the wine cellar is the ideal place to unwind and sample a selection of excellent South African and French wines. You can also have a private dining experience here.
The Mara Plains Jahazi Suite, an exclusive-use, two-bedroom tented villa with its own team of dedicated staff, is a highlight of the camp.
The game drive vehicles are all completely open, allowing you to take some incredible photographs. Aside from the game, don’t forget that you have a community nearby that you can visit to see a genuine working village. A truly unforgettable experience.
