Kenya is where safari began, and the refurbished Basecamp Wilderness deftly channels the style and ambience of yesteryear.

Perhaps more than any of the other Maasai Mara camps, Basecamp Wilderness pays homage to the safari pioneers of a bygone era. At the same time, its unique location within the Naboisho Conservancy allows for a very modern approach to responsible tourism.

Offering an exceptional degree of exclusivity to guests looking to enjoy a safari in the Maasai Mara, this Kenya safari tented camp benefits from being sited in a wildlife conservancy away from busier parts of the reserve. Basecamp Wilderness offers incredible views – especially at at dawn as the sun begins to rise– and also invaluable glimpses of the lives and times of Kenya’s legendary early explorers.

Time spent under canvas at Basecamp Wilderness – or exploring the surrounding Naboisho Conservancy on a Maasai Mara safari – is the perfect antidote to the hustle, bustle and artifice of modern life. In essence, this is the way safari was meant to be – for couples, solo travellers and multi-generational family travel.

WHY CHOOSE BASECAMP WILDERNESS?

• The camp has seven tents, all strategically placed around the Saddle Valley rim in Mara Naibosho Conservancy to allow for complete privacy and ultimate views of the savannah.
• Sustainability starts at home: more than 80% of the staff come the community of landowners. They proudly wear the traditional Maasai attire and they share their culture and heritage
• Al fresco dining under shady trees by day, or a starry sky by night, offers more ways to experience the very best of safari hospitality and ambience.
