Located in the 80,000-acre North Mara Conservancy, Serian The Original is an intimate safari camp made up of just 5 spacious tents which are elevated on hardwood decking to provide guests with sweeping views of the wilderness and Mara River. Serian The Original is one of just 10 camps in the Mara North Conservancy, giving guests a private and exclusive safari experience. The low density of tourism within the Mara North Conservancy also means that the camps have a minimal impact on the environment, protecting wildlife habitats. Serian The Original gives guests a chance to get away from the rest of the world and take a digital detox. Enjoy the Maasai Mara’s incredible scenery and wildlife viewing from the comfort of the camp while sipping a refreshing beverage from Serian’s bar.

Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri is a luxury safari camp on the beautiful plains of Kenya, with a front-row seat within the private Olara Motorogi Conservancy. There are just 12 tents on the camp, each with its own expanse of land, so this is the perfect destination for a laid-back and secluded getaway. The camp can cater up to 24 guests at a time. Staying at Mahali Mzuri is a wonderful opportunity to see the Great Wildebeest Migration and other stars of Kenyan wildlife, including lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, cheetahs and more.

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.

Richard’s Camp

Richard’s River Camp was initially established as owners Richard and Liz’s “home from home” in 2006 but Richard’s family have lived in Kenya since the late 1940s and his father was involved in forming the Ol Choro Oiroua Conservancy, which was where Richard grew up from the age of 3. On her various travels, Liz has brought back beautiful fabrics and furniture to decorate the camp, really giving that personal touch that’ll make guests feel right at home. The Camp offers a luxury camp experience in the heart of the Maasai Mara. With just 7 tents, it’s a prime location for those with privacy and peace and quiet in mind. A permanent water supply is provided by the Ngoyanai springs, attracting cohorts of animals to the camp’s surroundings. The River Camp is newer than its sister location, the Forest Camp, promising facilities that are more modern and contemporary.

Governors’ Il Moran Camp

Il Moran is often considered to be the premiere camp of the Maasai Mara, with beautiful scenery, rich culture and the best wildlife viewing at your fingertips. Small and peaceful, it’s a fantastic destination for honeymooners, couples and those who are searching for a special and eco-conscious adventure. Il Moran Camp resides in the forest shade mirroring the flow of the Mara River, where hippos wallow happily. Recently refurbished in 2018, this Silver Eco award-winning camp is ideal for those seeking a little extra luxury. Il Moran has been kept small to hold on to that cosy intimate feel, with just 10 canvas tents hidden under the ancient trees, lining the winding banks of the Mara River

Governors’ Private Camp

One might regard Governors’ Private Camp as the jewel in the Collection’s crown, and with good reason. Picked on a pristine spot by the Mara River where animals come to drink and take cooling dips, a sublime safari adventure awaits. A personalised experience is the trademark of Governors’ Private Camp with a warm and friendly team on hand to see to your every need. The whole camp can be exclusively booked for a large family or travelling party and so is perfect for a cosy group setting away from the clamour of more crowded destinations. Governors’ Private Camp is a much sought out location by tourists and wildlife alike, a place where two worlds converge.

Little Governors’ Camp

Little Governors’ Camp is an intimate setting that has won the hearts of its guests time and time again, with arguably the best safari atmosphere of all the Governors’ Camps. The camp can only be reached by boat and a forest walk, and animals, including a resident warthog family can roam freely, so that guests are truly removed from civilisation is never in question. The 17 recently renovated guest tents are tucked away on the forest’s edge overlooking the much visited watering hole, bringing the wilds right to your door. The experience at Governors’ Private Camp is founded on tranquillity, intimacy and a connection with nature. Its wonderful location made it the top choice for the BBC’s “Big Cat Diaries” filming and remains a prime spot to witness Big Cats to this day, with really high chances of seeing lions, leopards and cheetahs.
