Mara Explorer

Picture


Country: Kenya

Location: Masai Mara Game Reserve
 
Style: Luxury Tented Camp

Mara Explorer is a tented camp situated on a broad, thickly forested bend of the Talek River in the middle of the Masai Mara National Reserve, from where it enjoys prime views of the spectacular annual wildebeest migration.

This exclusive 5 star camp offers 10 luxurious, well-spaced tents on raised wooden platforms, each with its own private deck overlooking the river.   The tents have been specially designed to open up to the sky, and each boasts a private open-air bathing platform, from where you can enjoy a unique perspective of the African bush!

All are furnished in a classic blend of ancient and modern, with fine hand-carved mahogany furniture, rich African artefacts, and luxurious bathrooms with twin basins and all modern amenities, including mosquito nets, and hairdryers.

The tents reflect a distinctive ‘Explorer’ style, with old wooden chests, tin trunks and historic prints, complemented by a fascinating collection of ‘Africana’ books in the camp’s library.

All the public areas are decorated with old African artefacts and memorabilia from the earliest days of the African safari.

Meals, using fresh vegetables and herbs grown in the camp gardens, are served in an intimate canvas covered dining area overlooking the river.  They can also be enjoyed on your veranda or at one of a series of specially-selected ‘bush sites’ close to the camp.

The bar provides beautiful river views and a well-stocked library, while the lounge offers luxurious sofas for reading, playing board games, or swapping safari tales.

Mara Explorer was constructed as an eco-friendly camp, and its operations are designed to have a minimal impact on the fragile Talek ecosystem. 

Herds of watering elephant, giraffe and other wildlife can often be seen from your private veranda or you can join one of the certified guides on an open-jeep safari.    There are also morning guided bird and bush walks.

The camp runs a community development fund for building and equipping primary schools and medical clinics in the area.   You are invited to visit these facilities as well as the villagers’ own manyattas, which offer a fascinating insight into traditional Masai life.
