“Nyika” means “Large Plains or Great Plains,” and Mara Nyika is the perfect sister camp to Mara Plains in Kenya. It rings with the romance of the vast open plains of East Africa from a time when light canvas flapped in the light breeze across those plains as wildebeest and zebras call to each other and at twilight, “Simba,” the great lion’s roar across the Nyika.
Typical of the Maasai Mara’s ancient Nyika is the flat-topped Acacia kirkii trees. While the camp is in a valley, actually straddling a small stream, the suites are set up high under the tree’s canopy to offer guests awe-inspiring views out over the bush.
Mara Nyika, located in the private and exclusive 20 000-hectare Naboisho Conservancy, is unique because it allows guests to explore the conservancy and further afield with safari drives into the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Guest’s stay enables us to support over 500 Maasai families with a sustainable livelihood through the payment of conservation fees, which ultimately ensures the conservation of the wildlife in this vital corridor of the Maasai Mara eco-system.
Four guest suites set on raised decking. The light-coloured canvas suites are set up high under the tree’s canopy to be offer guests awe inspiring views out over the bush. Suites include en-suite with flush loo, shower (indoor), copper bathtub and double basins and hot and cold running water.
One two-bedroom suite set on raised decking and under canvas. The suite includes two bedrooms each with ensuite bathroom connected by a luxurious lounge.
The private Mara Nyika Sambuk Suite can cater for a maximum of four adults sharing or two
adults and up to three children (aged 6 – 15), sharing in two separate bedrooms;
