Mara Nyika Camp, meaning “Large Plains,” is an exclusive tented camp in the 20,000-hectare Naboisho Conservancy, part of the Great Plains Conservation Réserve-Collection. Nestled in a valley with views over umbrella-thorn trees and a small river, the camp features light-colored canvas suites on raised platforms, linked by elevated walkways for an immersive safari experience.
The camp includes a spacious main area with panoramic views, a library, an on-site wine cellar for tours and special meals, and the Great Plains Safari Boutique for stylish safari clothing and memorabilia. Emphasizing privacy and adventure, Mara Nyika Camp features the 2-bedroom Sambuk Suite and, as a member of Relais & Châteaux, provides a secluded retreat to relax and explore Africa’s stunning scenery.
The Maasai Mara, located in southwestern Kenya, is renowned for its stunning landscapes, diverse wildlife, and vibrant culture. This iconic safari destination is part of the larger Serengeti-Mara ecosystem and is famous for the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse its plains annually. The reserve features a mix of open savannahs, acacia woodlands, and riverine forests, providing a rich habitat for a wide range of animals including lions, elephants, and giraffes. It is also home to the Maasai people, who maintain their traditional lifestyle amidst this natural splendor.
