Mara Expedition Camp’s two specially designed Land Cruisers are totally open-sided (a rarity in the Mara) and offer 300-degree views which provide ideal opportunities for photography. Under the guidance of our top guides, each vehicle comes fully equipped with a stocked fridge and photography tools.

Each guest tent is equipped with a pair of high-quality binoculars and a professional camera set, including a camera body and lenses, for guests to use during their stay at Mara Expedition Camp. Photos will be downloaded to a memory stick upon guests’ departure.

Hot-air ballooning over the Masai Mara is available at an additional cost, and is a truly stunning way to experience the landscape and an unforgettable sunrise.

The Naboisho Women's Group cultural experience is supported by the Great Plains Foundation, enabling the group to purchase raw materials in bulk including a tailor hired to work on leather products. Available to guests staying at Great Plains Conservation camps all profits from the sale of their wares are ploughed back into the women's business training to ensure this group is self-sustainable. Items available for purchase include, but are not limited to, beaded & leather products, coasters, bracelets, necklaces, belts, dog collars, earrings, and decorated dawa sticks for example.

Mara Expedition Camp offers guests a guided bicycle experience to exercise after their morning safari drives. The riding takes place on open plains and the landing strip. Besides just exercising, riding among plains game, gazelles, topis, impalas, and warthogs is also fun. These bicycles are available upon request, and a safari vehicle is always on standby during the riding activity.
