Attentive staff are happy to tailor a unique experience for travellers visiting Encounter Mara, and are the backbone of the award-winning eco-camp.

Basecamp Masai Mara

Along the banks of the Talek River, Basecamp Masai Mara has made its home. Guests find their sanctum alongside this thriving ecosystem in the world famous Masai Mara. Frequent guests to the Talek River are the exhilarating copper tail and vervet monkeys of the Masai Mara, who never fail to entertain and delight with their primate wit, and invariably their indelible capacity for mischief! With over 286 species of bird nearby, guests are greeted by a symphonic dawn chorus each morning, commencing the day with the rejuvenating songs of the savannah. Guest tents are all fitted with bio-flush toilets and solar-heated safari showers, and feature a balcony overlooking the great Masai Mara reserve. King-sized or Double Twin beds come as standards in all of the basecamp’s tents, and the blend of African naturalism with carefully curated minimalist aesthetics make for a stylish and idiosyncratic inflection of the surrounding landscape.

Mara Expedition Camp

Mara Expedition Camp offers a chic, nostalgic and adventurous experience. It is unique to the industry and sits perfectly with the expert hospitality, specialised guiding and design that have become signature to the Great Plains Conservation. Guests visiting here will get the best of both safari worlds – the vibrant Maasai Mara ecosystem and the more private 70,000-acre Mara North Conservancy. The core of the camp’s ethos is the learning from and respecting of nature, where the Maasai Mara itself is the teacher. Unlike some other locations, there is a higher density of predators in the area so there is a constant reminder that the wilderness is not ours and must be respected at all times.
