Mara Intrepids Camp

Overlooking the Talek River in Kenya at the very confluence of the Mara’s four game-viewing areas, Mara Intrepids Camp enjoys one of the most spectacular locations in the world’s best-known wilderness. Mara Intrepids is a short drive from the Mara River, where more than a million wildebeest and zebra make their perilous migration crossing every July and August. For the remainder of the year, the camp offers some of the world’s finest game viewing, with large local populations of plains game, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, and all the Big Cats.

30 luxury tents are widely spread (into four distinct areas) across a large riverside site to ensure guests the optimum privacy and peace. Each tent sits on a shady platform, with sweeping views over the riverbanks where a wide variety of animals come to drink. Tents are furnished in the classic style of the grand African safaris, with large four-poster beds and handsome reproduction furniture offset by modern en suite bathrooms with hot showers, flush toilets and all modern amenities.

Three guided game reserve safaris everyday in the reserve in the early morning from 6 am to 9 am; the mid-morning after breakfast and finally the late afternoon from 3.30 pm returning to camp at sunset. Or you can indulge in a full day guided game safari to the Mara River with a packed picnic breakfast and/or lunch.The 4×4 safari jeeps which are used for daily game safaris are specially modified to allow for more legroom and roof racks open for the best game viewing and photography. When returning from evening game drive, if dining at the camp proves a tad too tame, you can head out to wilder settings and enjoy sumptuous bush breakfasts and dinners in the bush including sundowners within sight of a lion or a herd of elephants or the hippos snorting in the river below. It’s the ultimate African appetizer.

You may also enjoy a safari by air with the thrill of an early morning hot air balloon ride where you can take in the spectacle of the Masai Mara sunrise and the aerial view of big game scattered across the rolling plains of the reserve.
