Ol Seki Hemingways Mara, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
A Luxury Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
Nestled on a gentle hill overlooking the Naboisho Conservancy, Hemingways Ol Seki Mara offers an intimate and personal safari experience in the heart of the Maasai Mara. With just ten luxury tents, including the exclusive-use Simba and Chui Villas, this is a place where elegant simplicity meets deeply personal service. Every element, from the architecture to the guiding, is designed to immerse you in the landscape while ensuring complete comfort.
What sets Ol Seki Mara apart is its sense of place. Here, wildlife roams freely, and your days unfold at your own pace. Begin with sunrise game drives alongside expert guides, spend quiet afternoons by the plunge pool, and gather for starlit dinners around the fire.
WHY CHOOSE OL SEKI HEMINGWAYS MARA?
- Each stylish tent has been designed to offer secluded privacy and spacious accommodation in traditional safari muted tones of vanilla and taupe.
- With a near panoramic view of the acacia valley beyond the table, the dining tent offers a communal area for guests to engage and discuss their wildlife sightings.
- The Serengeti National Park / Maasai Mara Reserve is arguably the most impressive wildlife sanctuary in the world.
- The beauty of catering is its mobility – wherever you are in the Conservancy or the Reserve, you can indulge in excellent fresh food served on china plates and chilled drinks poured into real glasses
Questions about Ol Seki Hemingways Mara
How does staying in Naboisho Conservancy differ from the reserve?
Naboisho borders the Maasai Mara Reserve and limits entry to guests actually staying inside the conservancy, which keeps vehicle numbers down and makes for a notably private safari. You can still head into the reserve itself when you want the classic Mara plains.
How large is the camp?
Nine tents only, each designed for privacy and space in muted vanilla and taupe tones, with 270-degree views over the Mara plains. The dining tent has a near-panoramic outlook over the acacia valley and works as the communal gathering point at the end of the day.
How flexible are the days here?
There is no typical day; the camp is small enough to tailor each one around you, and catering travels with you, so a proper meal on china with chilled drinks can appear wherever you are in the conservancy or the reserve. Full board and most drinks are included, with imported spirits, premium drinks and champagne excluded.
