Emboo Camp, Maasai Mara Reserve, Kenya
A Luxury Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
Emboo sets the standard for sustainable luxury in the heart of the Maasai Mara, nestled along a quiet, forested bend of the Talek River.
A new-generation safari camp for new-generation explorers, Emboo revolutionises the experience as Kenya’s first camp with a full fleet of electric vehicles, offering whisper-quiet game drives that bring you closer to wildlife without disruption. This intimate camp, with its thoughtfully designed tents, seamlessly blends eco-innovation with authentic safari magic. With more than 100 bird and wildlife species that can be spotted right from your River Suite – including the elusive narina trogon and the striking double-toothed barbet – nature feels as close as your doorstep. From 24/7 solar power to farm-to-fork dining featuring produce from vertical hydroponic gardens, Emboo proves that sustainability and luxury go hand in hand, creating unforgettable experiences while protecting the pristine wilderness for future generations. Here, the thrill of the wild meets modern comfort.
WHY CHOOSE EMBOO CAMP?
- Situated in the world-renowned Maasai Mara National Reserve, Emboo occupies prime position along a forested bend of the Talek River.
- The camp’s position ensures excellent game viewing opportunities while maintaining a sense of secluded tranquility in its lush setting.
- The surrounding riverine forest creates a natural haven where wildlife moves freely through the unfenced grounds.
Questions about Emboo
Is it true the game drives are electric?
Yes. Emboo is Kenya's first camp with a full fleet of electric vehicles, so drives are near silent. That changes what you hear and how close you can get without disturbing animals, and it is the main reason many guests choose it over a conventional camp in the Reserve.
How sustainable is the camp in practice?
Beyond the vehicles, the camp runs on 24-hour solar power and the kitchen works farm-to-fork, with produce from vertical hydroponic gardens on site. The grounds are unfenced along a forested bend of the Talek River, so wildlife moves through freely rather than being kept out.
What is included, and can children come?
Children of five years and above are welcome. Rates run from US$500 per person per night in April and May, US$650 in the shoulder months and US$900 from July to October and over the festive period, covering full board, all house drinks except champagne, shared-vehicle game drives, a nature walk around camp, Ol Kiombo airstrip transfers and limited laundry.
