Mara Expedition Camp, Kenya

The camp itself consists of five custom-designed tents of light-coloured flowing canvas open on the horizontal side with canopied ceilings. Each of them are perfectly decorated, they include lovely colonial furniture, without going too over board. It’s perfectly done so you can really comfortable there as you enjoy what will be a wonderful experience. En-suite facilities including flush loos, bucket showers and tapped hot/cold water ensure utter comfort.

To capture the action and memories professional Canon camera equipment (Canon 50D body and 28-135mm and 100-400mm lenses) will be available for guest use, and new open-sided vehicles custom designed by Dereck & Beverly Joubert (National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence, acclaimed filmmaker) allow the very best equipment for photographic opportunities.

Each day the hosts make a new plan, sometimes it’s having a pack lunch ‘on the go’ in order to game drive deep into the Reserve or Conservancy. Other times, it’s a more traditional morning game drive, returning to camp for lunch and siesta before setting off again. The beauty of Mara Expedition Camp is, due to its small size and care for uniqueness, that we never impose a set schedule on our guests. It is your safari and we are here to make it happen as you envision.

Riding in a vehicle all day works up quite an appetite, the combination of fresh air, constant discovery and searching for wildlife leaves you famished - but that is only a good thing here as it allows you to eat more of the delicious food on offer.

The camp is located in an excellent area to see leopard, the annual wildebeest and zebra migrations.
