Location

The camp is in the Southern Maasai Mara Reserve, located where the Sand River meets the Keekerok River. It is located near the Tanzanian border on the far south of the reserve. It is quieter than other areas of the Maasai Mara National Park and has the added advantage of accessing both sides of the park.

Rooms

The camp has seven spacious tented rooms which are dotted throughout the bush. Dressed in a dark green canvas, the interiors offset the dark exterior with light colours and soft furnishings. It is a contemporary, private space with wooden-framed beds, silky African cushions and pretty woven carpets. 

Communal Areas

The main tent has a modern, vibrant lounge with wicker seating and a selection of books, a dining area where communal meals are served and a small bar area. Another lounge area in front of the tent is a perfect place for socialising with a drink around coffee tables or swap stories around the fire pit. All the spaces are furnished in a contemporary yet understated fashion.

Activities

Game drives within the reserve are available daily and for a little extra, guests can take an impressive hot air balloon safari to enjoy the Maasai Mara National Park from the clouds.

DRY SEASON

A brief drier interlude before the more intense long rains. The migration will be located within the southern regions of the Serengeti during this period. The resident (non-migratory) wildlife in the Masai Mara is however superb throughout the year, so still well worth consideration as a safari destination. Migratory birds will also be present, offering great bird watching opportunities.

Its location so close to the equator means that the Masai has very consistent temperatures throughout the year, while the high altitude (1,435 to 2,143m or 4,708 to 7,031ft) moderate these to a very pleasant 25°C/77°F to 27°C/80°F. The mornings can, however, be a little chilly, so be sure to bring a light fleece!

There are two wet seasons in Kenya. The first known as the long rains take place between April and May, the second wet season is known as the short rains which also tend to be a little less intense, these take place between November and December.

WET SEASON - 'LONG RAINS'

The exact start and end of the rains are always a little uncertain, but generally, this period is the wettest time of the year. This wet season is also often characterised by overcast skies and consecutive days of rain. As a consequence of the rainfall roads can be hard to navigate and wildlife a little harder to spot. On the plus side, rates are at there cheapest, and visitor numbers to the park are incredibly low, offering a more private safari experience for those who don’t mind taking their chances!

During this period the great migration starts to make its way north towards the Western Corridor of the Serengeti ecosystem, in Tanzania.
