Mara Plains Camp
Set within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Mara Plains Camp offers an intimate safari experience centred around conservation, exceptional guiding and low-impact tourism. As part of Great Plains Conservation and Relais & Châteaux, the camp combines classic East African safari character with refined hospitality and strong environmental values.
Its location provides access to both the conservancy and the Maasai Mara Reserve, creating diverse wildlife viewing opportunities across one of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich safari regions.
Mara Plains Camp is particularly popular with photographers, wildlife enthusiasts and travelers seeking a quieter and more personalised luxury safari in the Maasai Mara.
The camp features a small collection of spacious canvas suites elevated above the surrounding landscape and designed in a classic safari style. Rich textures, handcrafted furnishings and natural materials create interiors that feel elegant, warm and timeless.
Each suite includes en-suite bathrooms, generous living areas and private decks overlooking riverine forest and open plains. Family accommodation is also available for small groups and multi-generational travel.
The central lounge, dining spaces, wine cellar and outdoor decks create relaxed areas for guests to unwind between safari activities while remaining closely connected to the surrounding wilderness.
Safari experiences at Mara Plains Camp are shaped by exceptional guiding and immersive wildlife encounters across both the conservancy and the Maasai Mara National Reserve. The area is particularly well known for strong predator sightings, including lions, leopards and cheetahs, alongside elephants, buffalo and abundant plains game.
Activities include game drives, walking safaris, photography-focused outings and cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities. The conservancy setting also allows for more flexible safari experiences away from heavier vehicle traffic.
Combining conservation, personalised hosting and outstanding guiding, Mara Plains Camp delivers one of the Maasai Mara’s most refined and immersive safari experiences.
