Camp – Page 3 – Pure Breaks

Little Oliver’s

Deep within Tarangire National Park, Little Oliver’s is one of the most amazing spots in east Africa for an exclusive safari adventure. Just a kilometre downstream from its sister camp, Oliver’s, Little Oliver’s is perfectly placed to relish in the unspoilt landscapes and vibrant wildlife. Although known for its elephant herds, big cats and birdlife, the Park is brimming with all kinds of wildlife no matter the time of year and Little Oliver’s is there to make sure you get to see as much as possible. With just 5 tents, it’s also a top choice if you’re looking for a quieter, more intimate safari experience and can be exclusively booked if you’re looking to travel with friends or family groups.

Kuro Tarangire

In a remote corner of the Tarangire, Kuro Tarangire sits secluded in a grove of acacia trees overlooking the golden savannah and Tarangire River, ready to offer an intimate, rustic safari experience. With special focus on game drives and safari walks, guests will be able to make the most of the picturesque landscape and the thriving populations of wildlife. No matter where you’d like to go and when, there’ll always be amazing things to see, whether it’s a lion stalking their prey or elephants happily grazing. With the frequently visited river right on the camp’s doorstep, you won’t even have to leave the peace and quiet of your private deck to watch the wonderful wildlife entirely disturbed, so even if you need to slow down for a day you’ll never be missing out!

Elewana Loisaba Tented Camp

Perched on an escarpment overlooking the outstretched plains below, Loisaba Tented Camp enjoys the expanses of the Loisaba Conservancy set before it. The 57,000-acre conservancy is home to one of Kenya’s thriving lion populations, and the Tented Camp enjoys a close proximity to a vital elephant corridor. The conservancy is also home to notable northern species, such as Grevy’s zebra, Beisa oryx and Somali ostrich, which are less common in Kenya’s southern conservancies. Guests are accommodated by incredibly friendly staff, and are hosted in luxury tents, which enjoy sublime views from their position atop the dramatic escarpment, elevated above the landscape, where sublime views can be enjoyed from tent, veranda, or from the Tented Camp’s divine infinity pool.

Kicheche Valley Camp

Kicheche Valley Camp, nestled in a woodland of acacia trees, is located in the exclusive and protected Naboisho Conservancy. Guests are guaranteed privacy and seclusion, as this conservancy is a low tourist density area. The camp blends into the wildlife, allowing guests to feel at one and in the heart of nature. Luxury without being excessive, the camp is comfortable and intimate, with only 6 tents set on platforms, with wide floor to ceiling windows affording almost 180° views of the vast plains from the comfort of your bed. Guests will not leave disappointed as the conservancy has a dense game population, including the highest density of giraffes in the Maasai Mara ecosystem and other animals such as lion, buffalo, zebra and various species of bird such as the cattle egret and green sandpiper.

Mara Nyika Camp

Mara Nyika Camp is set nestled into a small woodland of umbrella thorn trees in the exclusive and protected Mara Naboisho Conservancy. This is an intimate and luxury camp, only accommodating 10 guests when at full capacity making this the perfect spot for a quiet but exciting safari experience, uninterrupted by large numbers of people. Suites are accessed by wooden walkways, and are on raised platforms affording stunning views over the vast rolling plains. The décor is comfortable, warm and traditional with a touch of luxury, explaining the Relais and Chateaux property recognition.

Basecamp Masai Mara

Along the banks of the Talek River, Basecamp Masai Mara has made its home. Guests find their sanctum alongside this thriving ecosystem in the world famous Masai Mara. Frequent guests to the Talek River are the exhilarating copper tail and vervet monkeys of the Masai Mara, who never fail to entertain and delight with their primate wit, and invariably their indelible capacity for mischief! With over 286 species of bird nearby, guests are greeted by a symphonic dawn chorus each morning, commencing the day with the rejuvenating songs of the savannah. Guest tents are all fitted with bio-flush toilets and solar-heated safari showers, and feature a balcony overlooking the great Masai Mara reserve. King-sized or Double Twin beds come as standards in all of the basecamp’s tents, and the blend of African naturalism with carefully curated minimalist aesthetics make for a stylish and idiosyncratic inflection of the surrounding landscape.

Mahali Mzuri

Mahali Mzuri is a luxury safari camp on the beautiful plains of Kenya, with a front-row seat within the private Olara Motorogi Conservancy. There are just 12 tents on the camp, each with its own expanse of land, so this is the perfect destination for a laid-back and secluded getaway. The camp can cater up to 24 guests at a time. Staying at Mahali Mzuri is a wonderful opportunity to see the Great Wildebeest Migration and other stars of Kenyan wildlife, including lions, giraffes, elephants, zebras, cheetahs and more.

Mara Expedition Camp

Mara Expedition Camp offers a chic, nostalgic and adventurous experience. It is unique to the industry and sits perfectly with the expert hospitality, specialised guiding and design that have become signature to the Great Plains Conservation. Guests visiting here will get the best of both safari worlds – the vibrant Maasai Mara ecosystem and the more private 70,000-acre Mara North Conservancy. The core of the camp’s ethos is the learning from and respecting of nature, where the Maasai Mara itself is the teacher. Unlike some other locations, there is a higher density of predators in the area so there is a constant reminder that the wilderness is not ours and must be respected at all times.

Governors’ Il Moran Camp

Il Moran is often considered to be the premiere camp of the Maasai Mara, with beautiful scenery, rich culture and the best wildlife viewing at your fingertips. Small and peaceful, it’s a fantastic destination for honeymooners, couples and those who are searching for a special and eco-conscious adventure. Il Moran Camp resides in the forest shade mirroring the flow of the Mara River, where hippos wallow happily. Recently refurbished in 2018, this Silver Eco award-winning camp is ideal for those seeking a little extra luxury. Il Moran has been kept small to hold on to that cosy intimate feel, with just 10 canvas tents hidden under the ancient trees, lining the winding banks of the Mara River

Richard’s Camp

Richard’s River Camp was initially established as owners Richard and Liz’s “home from home” in 2006 but Richard’s family have lived in Kenya since the late 1940s and his father was involved in forming the Ol Choro Oiroua Conservancy, which was where Richard grew up from the age of 3. On her various travels, Liz has brought back beautiful fabrics and furniture to decorate the camp, really giving that personal touch that’ll make guests feel right at home. The Camp offers a luxury camp experience in the heart of the Maasai Mara. With just 7 tents, it’s a prime location for those with privacy and peace and quiet in mind. A permanent water supply is provided by the Ngoyanai springs, attracting cohorts of animals to the camp’s surroundings. The River Camp is newer than its sister location, the Forest Camp, promising facilities that are more modern and contemporary.
