About Encounter Mara

Situated in the heart of the Mara North Conservancy, Encounter Mara is a classic tented camp that blends seamlessly into the surrounding riverine forest. Its location is particularly notable for high densities of wildlife and proximity to the Olare Orok River. The tents are canvas-walled, raised on wooden platforms, and designed to offer a tactile connection to the bush without compromising on modern comforts. The camp emphasizes a low-impact, environmentally conscious philosophy, providing an authentic safari atmosphere. Guests here enjoy the advantage of being in a private conservancy where off-roading and night drives are permitted, allowing for deeper insights into the nocturnal behavior of the Mara’s predators away from the crowds of the main National Reserve.

Why we like it

It offers an authentic, back-to-basics tented feel while benefiting from the superior game viewing and exclusivity of the Mara North Conservancy.
