Overview

The Mara Plains Camp is an excellent small, exclusive camp set in a conservation area to the North of the Maasai Mara reserve.

One of only five camps on the Olare Motorogi Conservancy, guests at Mara Plains have unrivalled access to more than 100,000 acres of exclusive, low-vehicle density tourism land, home to extensive areas of important habitat for a vast number of wildlife species, while still having unfettered access to the Maasai Mara’s additional 375,000 acres.

Access to the lodge is via light aircraft (as part of a flying safari) the Lodge is hidden away in the forests lining the Njageteck River with gorgeous views over the surrounding plains and the wildlife roaming freely there. There are seven luxurious tented suites with large bathrooms. The communal areas are equally stylish with an attractive lounge area and food is served around a single table in traditional safari camp style (private meals can also be arranged).

Children from 8 years are welcome. Families with children between the ages of 8 & 15 will need to book a private vehicle. Having said this has the feel of a very grown up camp and would make a superb choice for couples looking for a very high quality safari in a stunning location in one of the best camps in the Mara area.

There is also a particular focus on photography here with a complimentary Canon 7D camera with 100-400mm and 27-70mm lenses for you to use during your stay with lessons and tips available for the uninitiated.

  • We had the most incredible time thank you. We loved Karen Blixen camp and felt part of a family there, it was incredibly special. And Breezes was very relaxing.
    We can't fault all the transfers and the moment we were greeted on the tarmac at Nairobi airport we knew we were going to be well cared for.

    Thank you so much to you and all the Tourdust team for making it such a happy and memorable trip.

  • We had an amazing trip. Everything was well thought out and so much fun. What a great way to truly see the country and learn the culture.

    Joseph was the perfect guide. Very kind, professional, knowledgeable and patient. The kids loved Joseph and keep asking when will they meet him again. He found the Big 5 for us which was unforgettable! Please pass along our appreciation to Joseph.

    Maji Moto was also another incredible experience. They had great customer service and we loved experiencing their culture.

    Sunbird was absolutely beautiful and I wish we had more time there. We loved the view of the lake!

    One suggestion to make the trip even better for other guests in the future would be to have a cooler with drinks and snacks in the Jeep at all times because a ton of driving is involved and it would be helpful to have a cold drink and snacks during the long trip.

    Thanks again for organizing this experience of a lifetime for us!

  • We had an amazing time thank you. The itinerary was great as we felt like we saw lots of different things and it kept it interesting for our daughter. She especially loved the gorge at Hells Gate.

    Unfortunately the Menengai Crater walk was a bit hard for her although that probably had something to do with how hot it was!

    We especially loved the Sunbird Lodge - it is such a beautiful place and all the staff were so incredibly welcoming and friendly.

    Our guide, Joseph, was exceptional too and we can’t speak highly enough of him.
