The Camp
Your Intimate Refuge to Capture Nature at Massai Mara
A sanctuary of serenity
Discover Mara Major Camp, a refined oasis in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, where charm and comfort meet amidst the wilderness.
Completely renovated in 2024 based on the original Ilmuran Lentim eco camp, this little gem remains true to its essence as a human-sized camp, nestled on 8 hectares of land with just five exquisite tents.
From the moment you arrive, Mara Major Camp will dazzle you with its circular Makuti roof, a true icon that stands out for miles around.
But that's just the beginning of the adventure. Equipped with 38 solar panels, one of the largest water wells in the Maasai Mara, a vegetable garden teeming with fresh vegetables and aromatic herbs, and solar water heaters for abundant hot water, this camp is virtually self-sufficient, offering you modern comfort in the heart of the savannah.
Located just 100 meters from the Maasai Mara National Reserve, 7 km from the village of Talek, and 10 minutes from the double crossing, Mara Major Camp enjoys a strategic central northern location, allowing you to quickly access all the reserve's treasures in a single day.
The camp's five tents have been completely renovated with impeccable attention to detail, offering a harmonious blend of elegance and authenticity. From the plumbing to the electrical system, from the bathrooms to the sumptuous beds, every corner exudes refinement.
SABA is more than just a restaurant; it's a sanctuary of rest and tranquility, designed to accommodate 14 to 16 privileged guests. Imagine yourself comfortably seated on our sofas, admiring the breathtaking view of the Maasai Mara or enjoying the comforting warmth of our fireplace. A vibrant landscape unfolds before your eyes, complete with a watering hole where wild animals come to drink. Every moment here is an invitation to relax, a perfect prelude to your dinner.
Our meticulously tended vegetable garden provides fresh and flavorful ingredients that complement our dishes. Under the direction of our exceptional chef, Nikola, you'll discover dishes made with these bountiful harvests, showcasing authentic and seasonal flavors. To top it all off, our talented pastry chef, Jakson, will delight you with sweet treats that will awaken your taste buds. Together, they create an unforgettable culinary experience, where every bite demonstrates their passion and expertise.
At Mara Major Camp, refinement goes hand in hand with respect for the environment, and every moment spent here is an invitation to fully experience the African adventure in all its splendor.
