Ol Seki Hemingways Mara Camp, Masai Mara, Kenya, Africa

Ol Seki Hemingways Mara Camp, Kenya

Perched on a rocky escarpment with far reaching views over the acacia-dotted Mara plains, this intimate, luxury tented camp is located in the Naboisho Conservancy - a secluded wilderness which borders the Maasai Mara Reserve. This area teems with wildlife and what's more, the setting in a private conservancy ensures a more exclusive game viewing experience with a lower density of vehicles than in the main Mara reserve.

In addition to the daily day and night game drives, Ol Seki offers the chance to enjoy guided bush walks to learn about the area, the Maasai culture, the plants and their traditional uses. This is one of our all-time favourite safari camps and it is named after the Ol Seki tree, which, in the local Maasai language, means 'blessed'. It is traditionally a peace tree, with the branches used to settle disputes. This is apt because the creation of Naboisho, which means 'coming together', has brought peace between agriculture and wildlife in the conservancy.

Highlights

Sleep

The camp boasts eight spacious, stylish and uniquely designed Nina Tents which take full advantage of the stunning panorama from their elevated setting. Each sits on a private vantage point offering a 270° view of the bush, so you can watch the spellbinding sunrise over the African savannah from the comfort of your bed! They are nestled amongst Cordia and Acacia trees which attract an abundance of wildlife and birds. Each features floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors which open on to a large private deck, as well as indoor and outdoor showers and a bathtub with views out over the plains. This is luxury glamping at its African best! In addition, Ol Seki has two exclusive two-bedroomed tented private villas - perfect for families or friends travelling together. Each comprises two ensuite bedrooms connected by a living and dining area with an outside deck, perfect for star gazing at night! Guests in these suites benefit from their own dedicated team of staff including a chef for all meals and a private 4x4 game viewing vehicle with a guide.
