Why it's unique

Privacy is the key to Mara Nyika—with three luxury guest suites in addition to a family suite, each light-colored canvas tent was designed to evoke a sense of adventure.

Mara Nyika, meaning "Large Plains," is nestled in a valley on the western edge of the Naboisho Conservancy, offering privacy and stunning African landscapes. The camp features three luxury tents connected by walkways that evoke a treehouse feel. The 50,000-acre Naboisho Conservancy, the second largest in the Maasai Mara, provides opportunities for game drives and cultural experiences with the local Maasai.

Where it is

Masai Mara, Kenya

Mara Nyika Camp

Masai Mara, Kenya

The Masai Mara in southwestern Kenya boasts vast savanna plains, iconic acacia trees, and the Mara River, which sustains abundant wildlife and drives the annual wildebeest migration. Its diverse landscape blends grasslands and rocky outcrops.

How To Get There

Most visitors fly from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, a 45–60 minute flight, to avoid poor roads and maximize safari time. From the airstrip, a 4x4 takes you to your lodge or camp.

Flora & Fauna

The Masai Mara is home to over 95 mammal species, including the Big Five. Its landscape features acacia trees, grasslands, and shrubs.

Cultural Impact

The Masai Mara is culturally significant as part of the Maasai people’s traditional lands. Their stewardship has preserved the ecosystem, creating a symbiotic link between their heritage and conservation.
