To safari in Kenya is to discover that there is something for everyone. We have hand-picked locations within magical rolling plains that best represent the ultimate Kenya safari experiences in a unique Great Plains Conservation way.
Our Kenyan safari camps are located in ideal safari areas, offering everything you hope to experience on your safari adventure. Among our various safari camps, guests can enjoy a diverse array of activities, ranging from safari drives and guided walks to horseback riding and bicycle excursions. Experience stargazing from the rooftop star beds at ol Donyo Lodge or delight in personalised wine tastings at Mara Plains Camp. For those seeking relaxation and rejuvenation, pamper yourself with our bespoke spa treatments.
Kenya’s diverse landscapes lead to an array of diverse wildlife. All of Africa’s iconic wildlife are waiting to be discovered in private Reserves and National Parks.
Mara Nyika Camp and its two-bedroom Sambuk Suite at Mara Nyika is our Réserve Collection safari camp located in the private and exclusive Naboisho Conservancy, bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Mara Nyika Camp offers you the privacy you need to explore, be romantic and be pampered, all while offering breathtaking views of the bush from the treetops.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve is home to Mara Expedition Camp and Mara Toto Tree Camp.
Mara Expedition Camp is an Explorer-Collection camp designed for those who search for East Africa’s romantic safari era. The camp is set down low, hidden from lights and noise, and is perfectly positioned in the Maasai Mara National Reserve to take advantage of the two famous migrations – the southern migration from the Serengeti and the northern migration from Loita.
Mara Toto Tree Camp is hidden inside the Maasai Mara National Reserve, amongst spectacular ebony trees. This Réserve-Collection Safari Camp is high in the trees and offers wondrous views of the Ntiakitiak River.
Just a few kilometres away from Mara Toto Tree Camp and Mara Expedition Camp lies Mara Plains Camp and its two-bedroom Jahazi Suite at Mara Plains. Mara Plains Camp, located in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy along the northern border of the Maasai Mara, offers the largest traversing area of all our Maasai Mara-based camps. This camp is settled in a lush forest and has private access to the Great Migration. These Réserve Collection Safari Camps transport you to a time far away, using East Africa’s rich safari history for inspiration.
Further southeast, in the Chyulu Hills National Park, is ol Donyo Lodge. ol Donyo Lodge is perched on a hillside in the private Mbirikani Group Ranch.
With extensive views of the savannahs that stretch out before the property, a considerable variety of activities and diverse safari and wildlife viewing experiences are available. All of the suites have views of Mount Kilimanjaro and the lodge’s famous waterhole, where the wildlife will surely put on a show.
Check out our Hidecam located at the waterhole in front of ol Donyo Lodge.
All our Maasai Mara-based safari camps are perfectly located to offer you the best opportunity to experience both the annual southern migration from Tanzania and the annual northern migration from Loita.
The location of each of our safari camps was carefully selected to provide a unique safari experience without stepping on the toes of our other Kenyan safari camps. This ensures the utmost privacy for your safari and limits the number of vehicles on a wildlife sighting to ensure you have an unobstructed view.
We look forward to having you join us in Kenya.
