Rolling hills, sprawling savannahs, dramatic river crossings, and of course more wildlife than any documentary could ever portray. Welcome to the Masai Mara, home to the lions of so many wildlife documentaries, home to the Great Migration, mighty Masai warriors and some of the most luxurious lodges in Africa.
Masai Mara National Reserve is an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern Kenya, along the Tanzanian border. Its animals include lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras and hippos. Thousands of Wildebeest traverse its plains during their annual migration.
The landscape has grassy plains and rolling hills and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. The area nearby is dotted with villages of Masai people.
The Masai Mara welcomes over 1.2 million wildebeest onto its savannahs each year between July and October, but the Mara is so much more than just a destination to witness the Migration – it is a year-round safari destination with some of the densest wildlife populations in Africa… a must visit!

Serian was the first of Alex’s camps, and it perfectly captures the essence of its name: meaning ‘peaceful, calm, serene’ in the Masai language, it was designed to be a retreat from the bustle of contemporary life, and a chance to experience untamed Africa in traditional tented splendour.
Nkorombo is Serian’s tented mobile camp, set on a private riverside site in the Masai Mara Reserve. This snug little setup is chock-full of character with a view over the rushing Mara River, bursting with laughing hippo and languorous crocodile.
Karen Blixen Camp, Mara North, Masai Mara is permanent luxury tented Camp located in the exclusive Mara North Conservancy, Masai Mara.
High above Kenya’s Maasai Mara, where some of the most romantic scenes from Out of Africa were filmed, Angama Mara comprises two separate and intimate camps, each encompassing 15 glass-fronted tented suites.
Entim meaning “forest” in Maasai is discreetly tucked on the edge of the riverine woodlands. From the shaded seclusion of this attractively-designed camp, guests can relax in luxury and admire unforgettable views over the Mara River and across expansive plains, with the distant backdrops of undulating escarpments and volcanically-sculpted hills.
Sanctuary Olonana is an exceptional luxury safari lodge set on a private stretch of the Mara River in the heart of Kenya’s most famous game reserve, the Masai Mara.
Situated below the location of where Out of Africa’s famous final scene was filmed, this romantic and private camp reflects the ambience of Kenyan safaris of the 20’s and 30’s.
andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp is situated in the Kichwa Tembo private concession, which neighbours the Masai Mara National Reserve. In addition to the excellent year-round concentration of wildlife, Kichwa Tembo lies directly in the path of Africa’s spectacular Great Migration.
“Nyika” means “Large Plains or Great Plains,” and Mara Nyika is the perfect sister camp to Mara Plains in Kenya. It rings with the romance of the vast open plains of East Africa from a time when light canvas flapped in the light breeze across those plains as wildebeest and zebras call to each other and at twilight, “Simba,” the great lion’s roar across the Nyika.
Mara Expedition Camp is a magical revisiting of the past, drawing from Africa’s original explorers’ designs and designed for those who search for East Africa’s romantic safari era.
Deep within Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve, Rekero offers a spectacular location from which to see the Great Migration as the wildebeest thunder across the river just outside camp.
This charming tented camp blends the adventure of sleeping under canvas with plenty of
creature comforts. The camp is located in a secluded part of the Naboisho Conservancy,
where guests spend their days exploring on game drives, and visits to the local Maasai
communities.
Governors’ Camp is Africa’s first permanent tented camp, remaining in its original site since 1972. It occupies the best wildlife viewing location in the Reserve, nestled in the riverine forest along the winding banks of the Mara River.
