Rekero Tented Camp

Rekero Tented Camp lies in the Masai Mara Game Reserve at the end of solitary track that looks like it is going nowhere. Driving through a clump of bushes, you are suddenly confronted by an open glade along the Talek River. This has to be one of the most beautiful wilderness settings for a camp. The camp is run by Jackson, a local Masai, who owns 20 per cent of the camp with the Beaton family of Rekero Farm. 

At Rekero Camp, there are no permanent structures. The meeting place throughout the day is a patch of grass in front of an open-fronted canvas mess tent which stands under tall indigenous trees, overlooking the Talek River. This is the hub for all camp activities and it is a fun place to be. Meals, camp fires, sundowners, cocktails, story-telling are all enjoyed from here, unless rain or wind forces the use of the spacious mess tent which has a simple bar with all the essential safari drinks.

Location

The Masai Mara is 270 miles from Nairobi (5-6 hours by road). All weather air strip - less than an hour from Nairobi by plane. Rekero Camp is situated at what is recognised as the prime site within the world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve, close to the confluence of the Mara and Talek rivers.  The Reserve and the adjacent Conservation area totals 750 square miles and forms the northern tip of the Serengeti – Masai Mara eco-system.

Guests fly into Intrepids airstrip and are collected by Rekero vehicles. Game drives are conducted in 4x4 vehicles by an expert driver guide and a native Ndorobo guide, who also accompanies the guests on guided nature walks outside the game reserve. Access

From Nairobi – twice daily schedules to Ol Kiombo airstrip.  

From Nanyuki - daily morning flight to Ol Kiombo airstrip.  

Private air charters also land at Ol Kiombo airstrip, which is 15 minutes from the Camp.

Accommodation

Seven spacious tents, all of which have the capacity of being a double, twin or triple – all with terraces overlooking the Talek river and en-suite bathrooms with flush loos and safari showers.  Solar lanterns and kerosene lamps are provided in each tent.  An inverter is available to charge video camera batteries, and there is a satellite telephone.

The double beds are generously sized, flanked by wicker bedside tables, and covered in Indian-elephant bedspread. In one corner lies an open clothes wardrobe, while in the other a writing table. The bathroom with a bucket shower, flush loo, wash stand and a stool is linked to the main tent which can be separated by a canvas curtain for extra privacy.
