Mara Toto Tree Camp
Mara North Conservancy, Masai Mara
Mara Toto Tree Camp is located within a forest canopy and accommodates just eight adults in four luxurious tented suites. Enjoying a stunning and secluded location overlooking the Ntiakitiak River within the 373,000 acre Masai Mara National Reserve with private access to the 69,200 acre Mara North Conservancy, the romantic safari era-inspired camp provides the ultimate base for those looking to discover this region and its bountiful pristine wildlife in style. Set right along the river’s edge and tucked into the canopy of some of the area’s most spectacular ebony trees, the result is an awe-inspiring safari experience that feels like a movie set, with rare melanistic bushbabies living at the same elevation and in total acceptance of us being at their level. Wildlife spotting opportunities abound from this unrivalled vantage point, where leopards are often seen, and lions are heard almost every night. Mara Toto Tree Camp is the ultimate Kenyan safari choice for families, or small parties, explorers, adventurers and photographers who want to experience Africa the way we have for many years, just better – and now at treetop level!” The camp offers you a choice of four light and airy,
spacious canvas tree canopy tented suites, each with en-suite bathrooms complete with double vanity basins, ceramic baths with brushed steel and huge safari showers. A central lounge and dining room offers ample space to unwind and enjoy fine dining following a day spent on the plains, while an outdoor seated fire area is just the spot for enjoying a sundowner and swapping stories from the day’s adventure.
Elevated walkways between the main areas and suites wind between tree trunks and are bursting with wildlife, providing endless opportunities to spot species long after the day’s safari drive is over.
Located firmly in East Africa’s big cat territory, staying at Mara Toto Tree Camp you are spoilt for choice when it comes to wildlife spotting opportunities. All safari drives seat just four in a vehicle with a private guide taking place on the camp’s three specially designed Land Cruisers. Totally open-sided – a rarity in the Mara – the 300 degree view provides ideal circumstances for photography. You will find high-quality binoculars and a full professional Canon camera set in your suite, with all photos taken during your adventure downloaded onto a keepsake memory stick upon departure. Photography lessons – using either the camp cameras or your own – can also be arranged in advance.
Explorers can take advantage of two migrations in the Masai Mara – the famous annual southern migration of over one million animals from the Serengeti, typically in July and August, and the green season migration from Loita Plains in the spring, where over a hundred thousand zebras and wildebeest arrive from the northwest.
For those in search of a true bucket-list-in-the-bush experience, there is even the chance to book a hot air balloon ride over the Mara – a truly stunning way to experience the landscape and an unforgettable sunrise.
Those in search of some post-adventure rest and relaxation can book a spoiling in- room spa treatment, the ideal way to unwind while listening to the sounds of the bush all around.
