Wilderness Mara, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya
A Tented Camp in Kenya
Camp Details
Where spreading plains rise to meet the Oloololo Escarpment, the Mara River carves a timeless path through this ancient earth, and a wedge of wilderness beckons: the Mara Triangle. This section of Kenya’s Masai Mara National Reserve is celebrated for its wildlife density, particularly during the Great Migration. Here, vast open grassland, riverine forest, and a seasonal marsh converge, creating a richly varied ecosystem that supports an exceptional concentration of predators and plains game year-round. At the edge of the thriving marsh, a new camp has come to life, offering guests access to both sides of the Mara River.
Wilderness Mara is all about access: set in the Mara Triangle, it’s one of the only camps that allows guests across to both sides of the Mara River, opening up more space, more wildlife, and fewer crowds. This is classic safari territory: big skies, roaming herds, and raw drama at the river crossings. We’ve kept the camp true to its East African roots; elegant, grounded, and deeply connected to place, while adding just the right touches of comfort: a spa to unwind and a gym for the energetic.

Wilderness Mara questions
What is the advantage of the Mara Triangle location?
Access, above all. The camp is one of the only ones that allows guests across to both sides of the Mara River, which opens up more ground, more wildlife and fewer vehicles at a sighting. It sits at the edge of a thriving seasonal marsh beneath the Oloololo Escarpment.
What is the Manyatta dinner?
One of the camp's signature experiences: an atmospheric dinner under the stars where fire cooking and Maasai culture come to the fore. It is a change of pace from a dining tent, and a good way to spend an evening after a long day at the crossings.
What are the tents like, and what do rates cover?
Each tent is positioned to maximise privacy and views, with an elevated private deck and indoor and outdoor showers. There is a spa and a gym. Rates start from US$1,324 per person per night in the quieter months. Inclusions are not published online, so please ask us.
