Intrepids Tented Camp Masai Mara
(Mara
Intrepids Camp is ideally located in the centre of the
Masai Mara's four game-viewing areas. Situated above
a sweeping bend in the Talek River, Mara Intrepids Club

one can witness the Wildebeest migration crossing.

city of Nairobi)

Mara
Intrepids Camp is set in deliciously wild
country on the vast savannah grasslands of the Masai
Mara National Reserve with the Talek flowing past.
Few places on earth can rival the setting of Mara
Intrepids on the vast savannah grasslands of the Masai
Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
The
world famous Masai Mara National Reserve is the northern
extension of the sprawling Serengeti of Tanzania and
the two ecosystems make for the greatest wildlife
spectacle on the planet – from the million or
more wildebeest migrating with changing seasons between
the Mara and the Serengeti to the flocks of birds
from Eurasia; from the prides of black-maned lions
to herds of elephants; from sparring hippos in the
rivers to the insouciant crocodiles lying in wait
of prey.
The
Mara is home to the stars of BBC’s Big Cat Diary
and Big Cat Live following Shakira the cheetah, the
Marsh lions and Bella the leopard with their families
as they try to raise them in a world defined by predators
and prey; by the hunters and the hunted.
Mara
Intrepids Camp is built on the banks of the Talek River,
which joins the Mara River and eventually drains into
waters of the Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater
lake and source of the mysterious Nile. The Mara Intrepids
Camp is for the intrepid traveler who wants to be away
from the crowds and explore Africa’s wild kingdom.

Mara
Intrepids Camp Luxury
Tents
Every
Mara Intrepids Camp tent
is raised on stilts, and opens to the Talek River with
that signature view of the endless plains. Recently
refurbished to accommodate the modern, discerning safari
traveler, the tents are large and spacious with private
verandahs to enjoy the river and the plains, giving
infinite views of the Mara.
Mara
Intrepids Camp is luxury in the wild. In addition there
are two family luxury tents, gorgeous homes under canvas.
Beautifully decorated in stylistic African ethnic and
modern pieces, the two bed-roomed family tents include
a spacious lounge and an outside deck looking out at
the river and the plains beyond.
All
have en suite bathrooms and washrooms. For quiet moments,
you can escape to the high tower in the forest glade
and scan the tree canopy of the riverine forest and
the plains. It’s a great vantage lookout point
for any wildlife that strolls by or stalks the prey.
Mara
Intrepids Camp Bar
Mara
Intrepids Camp Bar
overlooks
the Burrungat plains; drinks at the bar – alcoholic
or non-alcoholic –can be exciting. The very eagle-eyed
can catch sight of an elephant quietly slipping through
the riverine forest or the occasional leopard making
a kill. The bar is open all day till the last patron
retires.
Enjoy
the unique blend of bar cocktails like the Tides of
Mara or the Migration Fever. If you’re concerned
about safety, the river cuts across the bar and plains,
so you can relax and toast a drink to Africa’s
wilderness.
A
bonfire is lit every evening where stories of the day’s
adventures are traded and on most evenings, the resident
naturalist will give a power point presentation of Mara’s
dynamic seasons, each bringing with it its own vibrant
changes, forever drawing the Mara enthusiast like a
magnet to its sprawling savanna.
Guests are advised not to jump into the river from the
suspended bridge that connects the plains to the bar
- for the river is only reserved for the residents –
that means the local hippos and crocodiles.

resident genet and greater bush babies drop in during
dinner, sometimes shy and curious, giving many a newcomer
their first sighting of these nocturnal animals.
Diners
are treated to Masai dancing by the Masai moran's from
the neighboring manyattas and those daring enough can
join in to challenge the Masai leaps. For the wild at
heart.... If dining at the camp proves a tad too tame,
you can head out to wilder settings and enjoy sumptuous
bush breakfasts and dinners in the bush including sundowners
within sight of a lion or a herd of elephants or the
hippos snorting in the river below.
It’s
the ultimate African appetizer.
