Stay in a uniquely placed, luxurious camp just ten minutes from the iconic Masai Mara.
Tipilikwani Mara Camp sits graciously on the banks of the Talek River, overlooking the mottled plains of the legendary national reserve – which is the site of the heart-pounding annual Great Migration. Visiting between July and August treats you to dramatic scenes of over a million wildebeest and zebra galloping across the beautiful landscapes, leaping over crocodiles and escaping lions.
Choose from 20 elegant, yet relaxed tents and discover its warm, authentically Masai aesthetic. Perfect for couples and families alike, this spacious accommodation provides plenty of privacy while also allowing you to gaze out towards the peaceful river beyond come morning or by night.
Not only that, but you can also enjoy excellent food and service throughout the duration of your stay. Available to you at this time are bush breakfasts and dinners, picnic lunches and sundowners.
Accommodation
Camp in one of 20 tents opposite the serene Talek River, listening to the gentle sounds of the African bush ring out as you drift off to slumber. Decorated with warm, rich Masai colours and featuring plenty of space, these rooms have an elegant, yet relaxed ambiance perfect for a good night’s rest.
If you’re travelling with your little ones, the family tent options have everything you need to enjoy a comfortable stay. There’s a stand-alone bath and showers in addition to large beds to sprawl out on. After a busy day tracking the area’s compelling wildlife species, it’s a very much welcome sight.
