Offbeat Mara

About

Within the sprawling 74,000-acre Mara Conservancy, Offbeat Mara has skillfully etched its own distinctive niche in this bountiful wildlife haven, far removed from the throngs of tourists. Nestled unobtrusively along the serene banks of the Olare Orok River, the camp is unencumbered by fences or pretense. Positioned away from the airstrip and the cluster of other camps in the vicinity, it affords you a greater degree of privacy as you gaze from your well-appointed tent across the expansive plains. Moreover, they can proudly lay claim to hosting their own resident lion pride!

Rooms

Offbeat Mara has five tents that are set up as either doubles or twins, with a large double bed and a large single bed in the tent. All tents have flush loos, safari showers and jugs of water for the basins. The tents have a large verandah, with a table for private dining and chairs to relax on. They also have two family tents. Each has two sleeping areas, one with a large double bed and the other with two or three single beds. There are two safari showers, loos and basins in these tents. The tents have a large verandah, with a table for private dining and chairs to relax on.

Dining

Dining at Offbeat Mara is relaxed, sociable and centred around fresh, home-style cuisine prepared daily by the camp’s chefs. Meals are served in the open-sided dining tent or outdoors beneath the stars, with bush breakfasts, picnic lunches and sundowners in scenic locations adding to the experience. Evenings around the campfire provide the perfect opportunity to share stories from the day’s sightings while enjoying warm Kenyan hospitality.  

Activity

Activities focus on exploring the exceptional wildlife of the Mara North Conservancy through expertly guided game drives, with excellent opportunities to see lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and abundant plains game. Night drives and guided bush walks, exclusive to conservancy guests, offer a different perspective on the ecosystem, while cultural visits to local Maasai communities can also be arranged. During the Great Migration, guests can venture into the Maasai Mara National Reserve to witness the spectacular wildebeest herds..
