Mara
Explorer Camp is an
exclusive five-star Kenya Safari Tented Camp, situated
on a thickly forested river in the middle of the Masai
Mara Game Reserve.
Mara
Explorer Camp offers guests the ultimate wilderness
retreat, where you can watch Elephants or Giraffes drinking
from the privacy of your verandah or from your own outdoor
Victorian bathtub.
Mara
Explorer Camp is situated in the heart of the Masai
Mara Game Reserve and enjoys prime views of the spectacular
wildebeest migration between June and September, and
some of the world’s most rewarding big cat sightings
during the remainder of the year.
The
Wildebeest Migration in East Africa, also known as “The
Great Migration” takes place between Kenya's Masai
Mara and Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and is one
of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet.
Thousands
of Wildebeest and Zebra’s migrate between the
Serengeti and the Masai Mara, constantly driven by their
search for fresh grazing. The massive herds are closely
followed by predators (Lion, Hyena and Cheetah), making
the most of every opportunity to catch their next meal.
With
this opportunity to see all these animals in abundance
at once is very exciting. Mara Explorer Camp provides
game walks and game drives daily for you to make the
best of this wildlife spectacle. With the stunning African
cuisine and spacious living space, Mara Explorer tented
camp is the ultimate wilderness destination.
Mara
Explorer luxury Camp poses on its own private peninsula
with the Talek meandering around it. Pods of hippos
lounge in the muddy waters during the day and it’s
not uncommon to see the occasional crocodile sunning
itself on the sandy beaches edging the riverbanks.
Just as the name implies, Mara Explorer Camp is for
those who want to explore the wild tapestry of the Masai
Mara. There’s the Rhino Ridge, the Topi Plains
and the lifeline of the wild paradise, the Mara River.
The 1,510 square kilometer reserve will keep you enchanted
with its rich plethora of wild flora and fauna.
Children
below the age of 12 years are not allowed in the tented
camp making it ideal for couples or parents who want
quite time and of course for honeymooners to celebrate
one of life’s most beautiful moments.

Mara
Explorer Camp Luxury Guest Tents
Mara Explorer Camp has only ten luxurious tents on
the peninsula, each tent opens to the river below
with the stunning spread of the savanna. This superb
location makes for wonderful game-watching from the
comfort of your bed, bath or verandah.
It’s
best not to try impersonating Tarzan here for the
resident hippos and crocodiles like their privacy
too. Earth pathways lead to your tents through the
natural flora, each spaciously apart for complete
privacy. Borrowing a leaf - or more practically a
spear - from the Masai, guests can put the ‘do
not disturb’ sign on the path for complete privacy.
With
the private luxury afforded, soaking in a bath-tub
on the open deck with uninterrupted views of the river
and the savanna is truly for the ethereal senses –
whether day or night with the evening soak offering
a dazzling display of stars in the sky. It gives a
new meaning to stargazing. Otherwise, there’s
always the shower inside.

Mara
Explorer Camp Restaurant
& Lounge
Mara Explorer Camp dining
area shares the deck with the lounge and features an
exclusive menu of the freshest home produce from the
kitchen garden complimented with a gastronomical journey
of foods – succulent meats and tangy fish; delicious
vegetarian dishes and refreshing salads; a wicked selection
of deserts followed by a variety of cheeses.
If you prefer your own menu, all you have to do is inform
African Spice Safaris in advance.
Mara Explorer Camp Lounge is fashioned along the days
of big game safaris, where no creature comfort was spared
to make wild living beautiful, the lounge is a sophisticated
mix of ethnic African décor and classic pieces.
African masks and sculptures grace the spacious lounge
with comfortable sofas and divans for you to relax.
Try
a hand at the ancient game of bao played across the
continent or relax by the bar and try the cocktails
specially concocted for the Mara experience, while chatting
with friends or making new friends.
Otherwise
simply snuggle up on an easy chair to browse through
the coffee table books and wildlife magazines as the
river below continues its journey to meet the Mara and
eventually Lake Victoria, Africa’s largest lake
and the world’s second largest freshwater lake.
Mara Explorer Camp lights a beautiful camp fire at night
on the deck drawing everybody to its warmth.

Explorer Camp Activities
Mara
Explorer Camp Game
Drives
Mara Explorer Camp provides three game
drives everyday in the Masai Mara Game Reserve –
the early morning from 6 am to 9 am; the midmorning
after breakfast and finally the late afternoon from
3.30 pm returning to camp at sunset.
Or
you can indulge in a full day game drive to the Mara
River with a packed picnic breakfast and/or lunch.
Mara
Explorer Camp Bush
Dinner & Bush Breakfast
Mara Explorer Camp Dinning al-fresco
in the Mara is exciting whether by the river’s
edge with hippos grunting below or in the plains with
unlimited views of the big game country. You have a
choice of a bush breakfast or dinner, which means that
after your early morning or late evening game drive
you can continue with the Mara experience by dining
out.
No
creature comforts are spared as you are welcomed with
hot towels to refresh yourself and a nice cold drink
from where you are shown to your table in the wilds
of Africa to make for an unforgettable African dining
experience.
For
a whole day on the plains, sumptuous picnics can be
packed, to enjoy under the shade of a solitary tree
or by the river – leave it to your driver-guide
to find the best spot to have relaxed midday meal in
the Mara.
Mara
Explorer Camp Photographic
Safari (upon request)
Mara Explorer Camp
Photo Safaris are led by our trained guides, some of
whom are active photographers themselves. African Spice
Safaris will ensure that your safari goes beyond your
expectation.
The
4x4 safari jeeps are specially modified to allow for
more legroom and roof racks open for the best game viewing
and photography, with accessories such as beanbag mounts
for cameras available upon request.
The
vehicles are also fitted with mini-bars for cold beverages
to ensure your comfort.
Mara
Explorer Camp Sundowners
Instead of meeting at the bar for a drink,
why not meet somewhere in the Mara for a sundowner where
you can sip a cocktail by the campfire and watch the
sun melt in the horizon.
Evenings
in the Mara come alive with the night animals like the
bat-eared fox, the owls and the big cats like the lion
and the leopard stirring to hunt under the cover of
darkness.
You
simply cannot miss to drink a toast to Africa’s
incredible diversity of wildlife.
Mara
Explorer Camp Nature
walks
A two-hour nature walk with our Masai
naturalist will see you identify more than 30 species
of plants, spot a variety of birds and pick up some
survival tips like knowing how to behave in the presence
of wild animals.
Mara
Explorer Camp Cultural
Visits
Guests at Mara Explorer Camp can visit
the Masai Manyattas or kraals where a local Masai guide
will give you an intriguing account of the Masai people
and the traditions that have stood the test of time
and still prevail on the plains.
Mara
Explorer Camp Star
Gazing
Take a detailed tour of the African sky
with expert guides at Mara Explorer Camp. The Equator
slices Kenya almost in half making it one of the very
few places in the whole world where you can observe
both the northern and southern hemisphere skies from
one location.
Mara
Explorer Camp Birding
A visit to the Masai Mara isn't only
about seeing the "Big 5"; the game reserve
also boasts a bird list of over 450 species. These range
from the large and highly conspicuous Common Ostrich,
to the small (but still conspicuous) Cardinal Quelea.
A
bird walk is a must for every bird lover or simply someone
curious to see the rich profusion of birds; keen birders
can record more than a hundred species in a day. Other
