Walking safaris guided by local Maasai trackers across community-conserved wildlife plains.
What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
Its nine twelve-sided tents are spaced for privacy, with timber floors, canvas walls, and wide verandas that open to breathtaking views.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked inside the private Mara Naboisho Conservancy, open plains and river valleys host dense lion prides far from crowded safari routes.
The rooms
Octagonal canvas tents rise on timber platforms, dressed with leather armchairs, woven rugs, and verandas overlooking the valley.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A solar-heated infinity pool sits along the ridge edge, looking directly over an active watering hole below.
Restaurant
Main Mess Tent and Lounge
Three-course meals are served under canvas alongside a library lounge and a fully stocked bar.
At the table
Dining extends outdoors to private bush dinners beside the campfire and lunch tables on the open deck.
How it began
Established in 2011, the camp partners directly with local Maasai landowners to protect wildlife corridors across fifty thousand conserved acres.
