ELEPHANT PEPPER CAMP
Masai Mara
Kenya

Introduction

Elephant Pepper Camp is located in a private concession bordering the unfenced Masai Mara. Being situated on the outskirts of the Masai Mara National Park ensures the camp can provide a more flexible range of game activities in their open-sided vehicles and game walks. Between July and October, wildebeest and zebra cross the plains, migrating from the Serengeti. These animals are prey for lions, leopards and cheetahs, which abound in large numbers. The private concession ensures guests enjoy more exclusive and private game viewing, away from the large tourist groups.

Camp Description

The 8 luxury tents are comfortably furnished with en-suite bathrooms and eco-friendly flush toilets and traditional safari showers. There are 3 double tents, 4 twins (which can be made into doubles) and 1 honeymoon / family tent. All guests enjoy panoramic views over the Masai Mara. Laundry service is included. The main dining/bar mess tent offers family style dining with a help yourself bar.
