Settled along the banks of the Talek River, Basecamp Masai Mara places you right on the natural boundary between camp life and the wild heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Your tent feels like a world of its own, while the Reserve stretches out just beyond.

Wake to over 300 identified bird species announcing the day from the tree canopy above. It's an alarm clock you'll never want to silence.
For families, our two Family Riverside Tents offer the same sense of seclusion and comfort, with the added joy of watching younger guests discover the wilderness for the very first time.

Just next door, the Enjoolata Awareness Centre opens a different kind of door. Exhibitions and direct conversations with Maasai community members offer a genuine window into the culture and people of this remarkable place for those who want to leave knowing more than when they arrived.

Standard Tent

Each of our 14 en-suite tents is designed to feel generous and unhurried. Choose between a king-size double or twin beds, and step into a bathroom that balances comfort with a light footprint; bio-flush toilets and two solar-heated showers, one inside and one open to the sky. The open-air safari shower, with the sounds of the forest all around you, is something guests mention long after they've left.

Honeymoon tent

Some spaces have a way of making the world feel smaller in the best possible way. Our honeymoon tent takes everything you love about Basecamp Masai Mara and turns the intimacy up quietly. The same private deck, the same open-air safari shower under an open sky, the same river views, but dressed with the kind of thoughtful touches that tell a couple they are exactly where they should be.

Family Tent/Obama tent

Designed for families and groups who want to be together without being on top of each other, our family tents offer two separate wings; each with its own double bed and en-suite bathroom with bio-flush toilets. Everyone has their own space; the togetherness is a choice.

The generous deluxe balcony is where the family naturally gathers for morning coffees, afternoon game-spotting, evening conversations with the Talek River below and the Maasai Mara National Reserve stretching out beyond. Private, spacious, and with Wi-Fi for those who need to stay connected.

Game Drives Bird Walks Cultural Visits Basecamp Sunset Sundowners The Enjoolata Center

At Basecamp Masai Mara, game drives are usually conducted in the early mornings, late afternoon since these are the coolest times of the day when most animals are more active. During the game drive, our knowledgeable Maasai guides will introduce you to life in the savanna and share their infinite knowledge about African wildlife.

Step outside your tent and into one of Kenya's most rewarding birding experiences. Over 300 species have been recorded here; a direct result of our years-long afforestation programme, which has steadily brought the surrounding ecosystem back to life through deliberate, community-led tree planting.

What began as a response to deforestation and ground erosion has quietly transformed into something remarkable. The trees came back, and with them, the birds; endemic species, seasonal visitors, and everything in between.

Our guided bird walking safaris take you through this living, breathing result of conservation in action. It's a gentler pace than a game drive, but no less extraordinary.

Just steps from your tent, the Enjoolata Centre is a gathering place in every sense. Part education, part entertainment, it was built around a simple belief that awareness has the power to inspire change. Through exhibitions and conversations, it brings the Maasai community together around the stories and issues that matter most to this landscape and its people.

Spend time here and you'll also find local women at work, beading the intricate artwork that fills our shop.
