Why Stay at Ol kinyei Mara Tented Camp?
Ol Kinyei Mara Tented Camp is an intimate four-star camp of only six canvas tents set within the private 18,700-acre Ol Kinyei Conservancy in the greater Masai Mara ecosystem. Run entirely on solar power and guided by Maasai warriors from the local community, the camp offers a low-impact, exclusive style of safari where vehicles at a sighting are counted in ones rather than dozens.
Where Is Ol kinyei Mara Tented Camp & What Wildlife Can You See?
Staying inside a private conservancy unlocks activities not permitted in the main reserve — night game drives and guided bush walks with Maasai guides — alongside open-sided 4x4 drives across crowd-free big-cat territory. Full-day excursions into the Masai Mara National Reserve itself are easily arranged. Fly-in guests reach the camp in about 45 minutes from Nairobi's Wilson Airport, landing at the private Ol Kinyei Airstrip or the neighbouring Naboisho and Sekenani strips, with the airstrip transfer doubling as a first game drive.
Rooms & Style
The six tents span four grades: Comfort and Deluxe tents with en-suite hot showers and private verandas, a Family Tent with multiple beds, and a Premium Tent featuring double wash basins plus indoor and outdoor showers. All are genuine canvas under shade, keeping the bush close without sacrificing comfort.
Who Is It Ideal For?
- Safari purists wanting conservancy exclusivity and walking safaris
- Photographers seeking uncrowded predator sightings
- Couples after a small, hosted camp atmosphere
- Return visitors upgrading from the busier reserve circuit
Pairs Well With
The camp combines beautifully with game drives in the Masai Mara National Reserve, and its airstrip access makes the 3-day fly-in Maasai Mara safari a natural fit.
