Masai Mara, Kenya

About Mara Plains

Mara Plains is a masterclass in understated luxury, located within the private Olare Orok Conservancy. This intimate camp captures the golden age of safari with its canvas-walled structures and rich, earthy decor. Being positioned on a sweeping bend of the Ntiakitiak River, the camp provides an immersive connection to the wilderness. The wildlife experience here is highly exclusive, as the conservancy limits visitor numbers, ensuring that game drives are quiet and uncrowded. The expert guiding team at Mara Plains is widely considered among the best in Kenya, offering profound insights into the region’s complex predator-prey dynamics. It is an indulgent choice for travellers who value deep conservation ethics alongside a seamless, high-end hospitality experience in one of the Mara’s most pristine corners.

Why we like it

The combination of private conservancy access and some of the highest-caliber professional guiding in the Mara makes this a premier choice for serious wildlife enthusiasts.
