Mara North

ASILIA ACACIA HOUSE & MARA HOUSE

The private houses are located in the very best locations of the Maasai Mara eco-system, this ensures that guests experience some of the richest game viewing and most genuine cultural insights available in Africa today.

The exclusivity of the bush houses enables guests to enjoy the seclusion of their own lodgings and have the flexibility and freedom to personally design their safari itineraries in the Maasai Mara. With a specially adapted safari vehicle, and a guide’s lifetime of knowledge at hand, the plains, valleys, rivers and hills of the Maasai Mara are there to be explored

KICHECHE MARA CAMP

Kicheche Mara Camp is a classic tented camp hidden in a beautiful acacia valley overlooking the Olare Orok stream. With only 8 tents the intimate and relaxed atmosphere gives you the opportunity to enjoy a unique experience in the prime wildlife area of the Mara North Conservancy.

Kicheche Mara holds a gold eco rating badge.

SARUNI MARA

Saruni Mara is the only small, boutique lodge in the Mara, with five elegant cottages, one family villa and one private villa. The lodge is nestled in a secluded valley in the heart of the most exciting wilderness in Africa: Mara North Conservancy – an exclusive, private wildlife concession bordering the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve. Maasai warriors guide you throughout, sharing their ancient wisdom of the area and animals and their fascinating way of life.

ELEPHANT PEPPER CAMP

The camp’s remote location allows the stars to shine bright at night, undimmed by harsh lighting; guests enjoy the unique experience of listening to the sounds of lion, leopard and hyena foraging and hunting, whilst being cosseted with traditional and modern comforts such as a campfire and cosy duvets.

Mara Conservancies

The Mara North Conservancy is a beautiful wilderness area of more than 74,000 acres. A vital component of the Masai Mara ecosystem, it borders the north-western zone of the reserve. Established in 2009, Mara North is a partnership between 10 member camps and over 800 Masai landowners.

The area is famed for Leopard Gorge, a frequent stage for numerous documentaries, including the Big Cat Diary. Home to high concentrations of big cats, and very low tourist numbers due to the structure of the conservancy, Mara North acts effectively as a more exclusive Mara experience.
