Set along the Mara River in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Ashnil Mara Camp reopened in 2025 with a bold redesign and repositioning. The camp now offers just 27 luxury tents (including 3 family units), creating a more intimate, personalised safari experience. Each tent is newly rebuilt with hardwood flooring, elegant interiors, dedicated lounge areas, fully modernised bathrooms, minibars, and in-tent WiFi as standard.
The public areas have also been completely reimagined, offering greater space, river views, and a more exclusive ambiance. Beginning in 2026, guests can enjoy plated four-course dinners, private dining decks by the river, a yoga and meditation deck, a photography studio, a gym, and a sunken fire pit for evenings under the stars.
With exceptional game viewing year-round, Ashnil Mara Camp’s relaunch raises the bar for comfort, service, and atmosphere in the Maasai Mara, representing exceptional value at the new 2026 rates.
With just three Family Tents available, these spacious units are designed to offer both privacy and togetherness. Built in the same contemporary style as the Luxury Tents, they feature interconnected sleeping areas and expanded lounge space, making them ideal for families or groups travelling with children.
Modern bathrooms, WiFi, and minibars ensure convenience, while private decks provide outdoor space to gather and enjoy uninterrupted views of the Mara River and its wildlife. Combining exclusivity with flexibility, the Family Tents are a rare find for those seeking a more comfortable, elevated safari stay with loved ones.

Venture into the world-famous Maasai Mara on a guided game drive in a custom 4x4 safari vehicle. With the expertise of professional guides, discover the reserve’s incredible density of wildlife, from prides of lions and elusive leopards to vast herds of plains game. Morning drives capture the Mara at its most active, while afternoon drives end with the drama of golden sunsets across the savannah.
Toast the end of your safari day with a private sundowner in a hand-picked location overlooking the plains or river bends. As the sky turns gold and crimson, enjoy your favourite drink and light bites, making this a quintessential Mara safari ritual.
Begin your day with a truly unforgettable experience, a gourmet breakfast set beside the iconic hippo pool of the Mara River. As the early morning light casts golden hues over the savannah, enjoy a freshly prepared spread of hot and cold dishes, accompanied by freshly brewed coffee, juices, and a touch of sparkling “bubbly” to celebrate the moment.
The soundtrack of grunting hippos, bird calls, and the rustling of the riverbank wildlife makes this setting unlike any other. With attentive service and a front-row seat to nature’s theatre, the Hippo Pool Breakfast offers a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity, creating a memory you’ll carry long after your safari.
Dine under the vast skies of the Masai Mara with a signature BBQ feast in the wild. Set in a carefully chosen bush clearing, this experience combines the thrill of dining in nature with the warmth of African hospitality. Guests are welcomed to a beautifully set open-air venue where chefs prepare a lavish barbecue of freshly grilled meats, fish, and vegetarian specialties, complemented by an array of side dishes and salads.
Whether enjoyed as a sunlit bush lunch or a starlit dinner by lantern light, the atmosphere is magical, with the crackle of the fire, the scents of the grill, and the sounds of the Mara’s wildlife as your backdrop. This is not just a meal, but a celebration of the land, offering an unforgettable balance of authentic safari adventure and refined culinary flair.
Step into the vibrant traditions of one of Africa’s most iconic communities with a visit to a local Maasai village. Guided by Maasai hosts, you’ll discover their centuries-old way of life, from cattle herding and warrior traditions to their striking beadwork and dances. Guests are invited to engage with the community, ask questions, and learn about how the Maasai balance modern influences while preserving their cultural identity. This authentic encounter is both enriching and respectful, offering a deeper understanding of the people who have called the Mara home for generations.
Soar above the endless savannah on an unforgettable hot air balloon safari. As dawn breaks, you’ll drift silently over the plains, watching the sunrise cast golden light across the Maasai Mara. From this unique vantage point, see herds of elephants, giraffes, and antelope moving below, and if timed during the Great Migration, witness the spectacle of wildebeest crossings from the air. After landing, the adventure continues with a champagne-style bush breakfast set in the wild. This once-in-a-lifetime experience combines aerial adventure with safari romance, creating memories that will last forever.
