Offbeat Mara Camp

Offbeat Mara Camp is a seasonal camp located on the Olare Orok River, which stands on the on Maasai owned Koyiaki Group Ranch. Though not located within the boundaries of the world-famous Masai Mara National Reserve, this small, exclusive tented camp offers a truly private, traditional safari experience while being within easy reach of the more public pleasures of the national reserve. 

Tucked away in a prime wildlife area, Offbeat Mara Camp provides guests with superb game viewing - lion, leopard, elephant and buffalo are all seen regularly. Most importantly, because it is located far away from the central lodges and camps, it offers its guests ‘great viewing without the masses’. Built in cooperation with the local Maasai, the camp offers employment and tourism returns to the local community. 

The Maasai Mara plays host to the annual migration from July to September. An enormous concentration of wildebeest, zebra and consequently predators pass through the surrounding plains. Unrestricted by game reserve rules around camp, guests can enjoy daytime game drives as well as night drives in custom-built Land Cruisers; bush breakfasts, picnics and sundowners. Guests also have full access to the Game Reserve, the Mara River and early morning balloon trips.

Location

The Masai Mara is 270 miles from Nairobi (five hours by road). All weather air strip - less than an hour from Nairobi by plane. 

Accommodation

The camp sleeps 12 guests in 6 large tents - 3 doubles and 3 twins (an extra bed can be added to each tent for small children). Each tent has an en-suite bathroom with hot-water bucket showers, wash basins and flush WCs. The spacious tents are all furnished with large, hand made cedar beds, 24hour solar lighting and the finest linen.

Dining and bars

Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire. Delicious English breakfasts, light lunches and three course dinners are served each evening. Guests can relax in the bar and 'mess' tent, furnished with comfortable sofas, a writing desk and library with wildlife guide books.

Child-friendly

The camp welcomes children, but parental supervision is required at all times.

What to see and do

Daily game drives are offered (private vehicles can also be arranged). Night game drives are also offered during which aardvarks, striped hyenas, honey badgers and the spotted eagle owl can be viewed. Guided walks, ornithological tours and nature trails can also be arranged, as can bush lunches, breakfasts and picnics.
