Located on the verdant peninsular of the Talek River, Mara Base Camp enjoys spectacular views over the rolling savannah of this world-famous reserve.

Dining and bars 

At Mara Base Camp meals are served in the central dining area, which features a platform built around a fig tree and an open-air bar for evening sundowners.

Conference and event facilities 

Mara Base Camp does not offer specific East Africa Safari conference facilities but will be happy to quote for small meetings and social gatherings or for incentive options centered on the annual migration of the wildebeest. 

Weddings and honeymoons 

This Kenya tented camp makes an ideal East African Safari honeymoon destination, more especially since it offers the chance of observing the annual migration of the wildebeest.

Child-friendly

Mara Base Camp welcomes children. 

What to see and do 

Typical Kenya tented camp safari experiences at Mara Base Camp include: safari game drives in especially adapted 4WD East Africa safari vehicles, seasonal viewing of the annual migration of the wildebeest, safari bush breakfasts, lunches and dinners; cocktails around the tented camp safari campfire and guided safari walks through the Masai Mara. Mara Base Camp also offers East African Safari ornithological tours, cultural performances and visits to the local people of Kenya. Because the Masai Mara is a reserve rather than a national park, night games and guided walks are also usually offered (neither of which are permitted in the national parks).
