Encounter Mara Safari Camp is open from June to April and closes in May. The camp provides excellent service and offers safari vehicles for tourists arriving from the nearby Mara Ol Seki airstrip.
Here’s what you can expect at the camp:
- Battery charging stations, safely shielded from children’s reach.
- Solar power and a standby generator to support the electricity supply.
- Hot water safari bucket showers, perfect for warming up guests who bathe late at night or early in the morning before sunrise.
- Ten spacious luxury tents (including two triples and one family tent) with shady verandas and an in-room safe for keeping important documents or money secure.
- Flushing toilets, always kept clean for guest comfort.
- En-suite bathrooms that provide a warm water experience, with queen-sized beds for a good night’s rest.
- Laundry service available 24/7, so you don’t have to worry about washing.
The Masai Mara, a major route for the great migration, is always busy with curious wildlife trackers moving through open plains dotted with acacia trees.
Game drives are offered in the morning, afternoon, and evening to fit each guest’s schedule. Horseback riding lets you explore the reserve at a relaxed pace, while hot air balloon rides lift you into the sky to see hilltops and animals that are harder to spot from the ground.
A visit to the local community is a great chance to learn about their culture and food. Many of the camp’s guides come from the nearby villages.
After a full day of adventure, you’ll need a comfortable place to rest, and that’s where Encounter Mara Safari Camp shines. The camp is designed to offer wide views of the Mara Reserve from every corner.
Don’t be surprised if lions rest nearby, keeping an eye on the newcomers, or if giraffes graze near the bush meal area while birds fly overhead.
Just carry on with your activities—sharing the land with wildlife is part of the experience.
Relaxation is always within reach at Encounter Mara Camp. It’s a place that’s lively, peaceful, and ready to welcome you.
