Mara Triangle, Mara Reserve

Kenya

Log Out

Our traditional tented camp will be set up somewhere in the wilderness just for you. Staying here offers the ultimate privacy, flexibility, and spontaneity, allowing you to experience the rhythm of nature as intimately as possible.

Lara’s and Ninian’s families have used mobile camps to access the wilderness in comfort for many decades. We have custom-designed the tents to ensure they are spacious and comfortable. As this camp is truly mobile, the tents strike a delicate balance between luxury and practicality. The result is an unpretentious, stylish, and comfortable nomadic home.

Our guest tents have ensuite bathrooms with traditional camp showers, a flushing loo, comfortable bedding, and solar-powered lights.

You will be the only guests in camp, allowing you to dictate the pace of each day. Game drives and other activities are not pre-planned but based on daily discussions with your guides. Lara plans the menus and is happy to cater to any preferences, and the team takes pride in fabulously fresh food and homestyle cooking.

It can be fun to stay in the mobile camp in different areas of Kenya. You move to a lodge for a few nights while our team moves the camp.

About This Area

The Masai Mara Game Reserve is world-famous and offers some of Africa's most beautiful landscapes. Its rolling grasslands seem to go on forever, bisected by numerous watercourses, some of the bigger ones lined with riverine forests. It potentially offers the best game viewing in Africa.

The Mara Serengeti ecosystem straddles the border of Kenya and Tanzania. The Mara Reserve sits within that ecosystem; it is about 1,500 square kilometres, which is vast compared to many of the surrounding conservancies. But even more extraordinary is that it is part of an enormous contiguous wilderness of over 30,000 square kilometres, including the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and Maswa. That's about the size of Belgium. Wildebeest, zebra, elephants, eland, leopards, and cheetah traverse hundreds of kilometres over this land.

Choosing the right location within the ecosystem, the right guide and the right season are of utmost importance, possibly more important than any other factors when planning your trip. We feel that the Mara Reserve still holds some of the finest safari experiences anywhere in Africa; the wildlife is phenomenal year-round, with an incredible variety of different animals and good numbers of predators. However, it is essential to avoid some parts of the Mara Reserve during the few months of the peak tourist season as they can suffer terribly from overcrowding, which can detract from your experience
