Ol Seki Hemingways Mara Camp, Kenya

The camp boasts eight spacious, stylish and uniquely designed Nina Tents which take full advantage of the stunning panorama from their elevated setting. Each sits on a private vantage point offering a 270° view of the bush, so you can watch the spellbinding sunrise over the African savannah from the comfort of your bed! They are nestled amongst Cordia and Acacia trees which attract an abundance of wildlife and birds. Each features floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors which open on to a large private deck, as well as indoor and outdoor showers and a bathtub with views out over the plains. This is luxury glamping at its African best! In addition, Ol Seki has two exclusive two-bedroomed tented private villas - perfect for families or friends travelling together. Each comprises two ensuite bedrooms connected by a living and dining area with an outside deck, perfect for star gazing at night! Guests in these suites benefit from their own dedicated team of staff including a chef for all meals and a private 4x4 game viewing vehicle with a guide.

Enjoy fabulous cuisine with views across the acacia valley. Food is sourced locally where possible, with eggs coming from local Maasai ladies in a nearby village and organic herbs grown in the camp’s garden. 

An early morning game drive may lead to an alfresco breakfast in the bush, with views of giraffe and zebra. In the evenings, guests gather for sundowners by the open firepit to share stories from the day, before enjoying a delicious menu prepared by Ol Seki's superb team of chefs. 

Below the main point of the Camp, there is the chance to dine in the unique Ol Seki Cave. Previously inhabited by a traditional Maasai hunter, the Cave offers an intimate venue for a romantic honeymoon dinner.

One of the advantages of being in a private Conservancy is that you are not confined to dining in camp and, with a totally mobile kitchen, Ol Seki offers the chance to dine out on the grassy plains. Specially designed safari coolers and hampers make for the most memorable picnic lunches too!

Game is plentiful and you will gain an understanding of the wildlife through the eyes of Ol Seki's incredible guides, many of whom come from local Maasai communities. All safari guides are graduates of the Koiyaki Guiding School which was established by the Naboisho Conservancy. A morning's game drive is perfectly balanced with an afternoon visiting a local village for a fascinating insight into the Maasai lifestyle. Bush picnics, sundowners and guided walks through the wilderness are all on offer.

One of the iconic experiences of a safari in Africa is a truly sensational sunrise hot air balloon flight over the Mara Reserve. You will float above the Mara River, with the magnificent animals in the Mara all visible below. The flight usually lasts about an hour and once safely back on the ground, is followed by a celebratory champagne breakfast in the bush. Horse riding can also be arranged.

After an exhilarating day on safari, take a refreshing dip in the fabulous infinity swimming pool or enjoy a relaxing massage under the beautiful fig tree on the edge of the camp - home of the Ol Seki Tree Of Life Spa. The massage oils are all mixed on site.
