MARA NYIKA CAMP

Naboisho Conservancy, Masai Mara
Mara Nyika, meaning “Large Plains or Great Plains,” is an intimate tented camp set in a valley, straddling a small stream on the western side of the private Naboisho Conservancy bordering Kenya’s Maasai Mara. Comprising just five tents including two family suites, each is designed to sit under the canopy of umbrella thorn trees while still offering you views out over the bush. Walkways from tents to the main area evoke the feeling of a treehouse under canvas and the camp’s ethic and inspiration is one of exploration and adventure. Privacy is the key to Mara Nyika. Privacy to live, think, explore, be romantic and be pampered – all the while with one of the most spectacular backdrops Africa can provide. Mara Nyika allows you to explore the private and exclusive 50,000 acre Naboisho Conservancy, the second largest conservancy in the greater Maasai Mara region. “Naboisho”, means “coming together” in the Maasai’s Maa language and represents the 500 local landowners who came together to Naboisho Conservancy.

guest’s stay supports over 500 Maasai families with a sustainable livelihood and helps to ensure the conservation of this vital corner Maasai Mara eco-system. 
Activities at Mara Nyika include safari drives (day & night) in some of the most luxurious wildlife viewing vehicles available. No two days are the same on safari. Wildlife viewing often starts at sunrise, returning to camp for a late breakfast and departing again in the mid-afternoon after tea before returning just after sunset. You can also opt to go out all day with a packed breakfast, lunch and beverages. Very often, safaris will continue into the night, a possibility because of the camp's location on the private Naboisho Conservancy. Night drives are particularly prolific and while they take patience, sightings commonly include lesser known nocturnal mammals and even lion and hyena hunts. If a chance to learn about the Maasai is of interest, then cultural visits to a nearby Maasai village are also a highlight. 
Hot air ballooning is also available at an additional cost. Departures are very early in the morning to allow time to transfer to the nearest launching point. If a chance to learn about the Maasai is of interest, then cultural visits to a nearby Masai village (locally known as an “enkang”) are also a highlight.
