Offbeat Mara, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
A Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
Tucked away in a quiet corner of the Mara North Conservancy, Offbeat Mara Camp offers an exclusive Masai Mara experience. With exceptional game viewing and a highly friendly team, this is exactly what a safari camp should encompass.
Offbeat Mara is a boutique safari camp, situated within the 74,000 acre private Mara North Conservancy. The Conservancy is full of wildlife, and is only open to member camps, having a strict policy on game viewing etiquette. For these reasons, our guests get a wholly exclusive experience that is otherwise becoming hard to find.
Offbeat Mara Camp has taken the traditional camping term and turned it into something rather special – fantastic guiding, a relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food and outstanding management will make you feel right at home.
WHY CHOOSE OFFBEAT MARA?
- Exceptional year round game viewing with impressive big cat populations and the annual wildebeest migration from July – October. The Offbeat Lion Pride reside very near the camp.
- Learn about the fascinating Maasai tribespeople and their traditional way of life.
- All Masai guides have earned their silver rated Kenya Professional Safari Guide Association (KPSGA) qualifications.
- The wildlife in this area is extraordinary with huge numbers of plains game and with that, all the big cats.
