4 Day Masai Mara Bush Camping Safari

Camp out in the bush in this back to basics mobile camping safari with expert wildlife guides and superb safari in the Masai Mara reserve.

This safari is about as far removed from the mass produced minibus and tourist lodge package safari as it is possible to be. Nights are spent camping out in the bush in private conservancies far, far from the crowds. It is important to understand this is camping at its simplest, most adventurous form. You’ll be sleeping in small modern dome tents and spending the night around the camp fire.

Game drives are split between the stunning Ol Kinyei private conservancy on which the camp is located and the Masai Mara Reserve (famed for endless rolling grasslands, big cats and the wildebeest migration). Ol Kinyei has some of the finest wilderness that the Mara Serengeti eco system has to offer. This is pristine wilderness with open savannah plains, riverine forest, springs, streams and rivers, rolling hills and spectacular views across the Mara.

The beauty of camping on a private conservancy is that you can really connect with the landscape on bush walks with local Masai guides and night drives (perfect for seeing the big cats at their most active), both of which aren't possible in the main Masai Mara reserve. And at the end of a long day, you can enjoy the simplicity of life camping out in the bush, sitting around the camp fire at night, enjoying the stars, the peace and the very real sense of wilderness.

This is not for everyone. But if you are willing to (or even like us, enjoy it) camp out in the bush and are less fussed about five star thrills than superb wildlife guiding and wilderness then this will be right up your street.
