Kenya - Places To Stay

Koyiaki Group Ranch - For those who want a game viewing experience "away form the masses", the Offbeat Mara Camp offers the ideal location. Situated far from other lodges and camps in the prime wildlife area on the Koiyaki Group Ranch, this small owner managed camp offers an exclusive and intimate traditional safari experience.

The camp accommodates only 12 guests at a time in spacious canvas safari tents with en-suite bathrooms with hot bucket showers, wash basins and flush loos. The tents are all furnished with large, hand made cedar beds, 24 hour solar lighting and the finest linen. Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire where delicious English breakfasts, light lunches and three course dinners are served each evening.

Located on the Olare Orok river on Koyiaki Group Ranch, near the Masai Mara Game Reserve

Accessible daily by scheduled flights from Nairobi to Musiara followed by a 45 minutes game drive transfer. Road transfers from Nairobi can also be arranged, but take about 5 hours.
