Camp Details
Basecamp Mara Houses offer the ultimate wildlife experience and luxury safari accommodation. Stay in a self-contained safari house that becomes your own exclusive Masai Mara getaway, with personal access to the wildlife-rich Mara North Conservancy.
Each of the three houses has a dedicated service team, including a private guide and safari vehicle. This means that each day can unfold exactly as you wish it to, and can be designed around your preferences regarding activity plans and mealtimes. Having so much flexibility makes your Maasai Mara safari even more relaxing, and lets us tailor the entire experience to the needs of your family and friends.
If you have ever dreamed of experiencing a Maasai Mara migration safari, then your wish can come true at Basecamp Mara Houses, and we’ll be delighted to make it happen for you.
Each of the three properties – Mara House, Acacia House, and Dik Dik House – has its own unique look and feel, yet all three offer the very highest standards of luxury family safari accommodation in the Maasai Mara, and warm, friendly service.

- With the bar close by, the pool offers beautiful views out over the prolific waterhole, and provides a relaxing yet exciting spot in which to cool off after each safari adventure.

- For Basecamp Mara Houses sustainability starts at home: more than 80% of the staff come the community of landowners.
Questions about Basecamp Mara Houses
What do you get with a private house that you would not get in a tented camp?
Each of the three self-contained houses comes with its own service team, including a private guide and safari vehicle. That means game drives, meals and rest days run to your own timetable rather than a camp schedule, which suits families and groups of friends travelling together.
Are the three houses the same?
No. Mara House, Acacia House and Dik Dik House each have their own look and feel, although all three are held to the same standard of comfort and service. Tell us your group size and we will advise which of the three fits best.
How are the houses charged, and what is included?
They are priced per house rather than per person, starting from US$1,600 and rising in the busier months. The rate covers full board, soft drinks, house wines, selected beers and house spirits, and day and night game drives. We will confirm the figure for your dates.
