Overview
Mara Expedition Camp is positioned in a grove of typical East African acacia trees overlooking a valley in the Masai Mara Reserve. It is on private land, so very exclusive but with access to some of the region’s best wildlife. The camp tells the story of early day explorers with touches of campaign furniture and open-air space under light canvas. It is an ideal camp to take on an exclusive basis, from which to start your safari looking for big cats such as cheetah and lion. Most days you don’t even have to go very far!
It is safari chic with six light and airy, spacious canvas tents, all with en-suite bathrooms. It is set down low, hidden from lights and noise from other camps or properties or any sign of mankind. The main area is lit by lanterns and candlelight, simple in design, but just enough for all the comforts. The camp is locally famous for its leopard residents wandering nearby and is positioned to take the best advantage of two migrations – the famous annual Serengeti migration and the green season migration from Loita Plains, an additional 50,000 wildebeest and over 100,000 zebras vying for grazing rights.
