MARA PLAINS CAMP
Masai Mara
Kenya

Introduction

Mara Plains Camp is located within the private Olare Orok Conservancy just a few hundred meters north of the Masai Mara National Reserve boundary. Mara Plains is small and personal catering for a maximum of 12 guests only. The camp offers a superb location which appears to be the focal point of many big cats' hunting grounds. Hardly a night goes by without exciting predator activity and roaring of lions nearby.

Hotel Description

Mara Plains camp is situated along the Ntiakatek River offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding plains and riverine forest. Mara Plains has been designed and built to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Mara Plains offers six luxurious and spacious rooms under canvas built on raised decks to leave a minimal environmental footprint. All rooms offer en-suite bathroom facilities with hot and cold running water and 24 hour 240V electricity. The central living area is open air canvas with a central dining tent and two comfortable lounge tents. These are raised off the ground on wooden decks offering magnificent views over the uninterrupted plains. Meals at Mara Plains are excellent; three delicious meals are provided daily, however the camp is extremely flexible on timings. Picnic breakfasts and/or lunches can be arranged. All types of appetites are catered for from regular to vegan and even hard to please children with prior warning.

Activities

Mara Plains is a "Big cat hot spot", offering fantastic game viewing throughout the year as well as easy access to the annual migration.
