The Mara Bush Camp - private wing boasts one of the best and most spectacular locations in the famous Maasai Mara Game Reserve. It is located on the banks of the seasonal Olare Orok River, overlooking a large hippo pool with over 40 hippos at any given time. It is only a 05 minutes drive from Ol Kiombo Airstrip. River crossings during the July to October Migration period are only a short drive away from the camp.With only 12 luxury tents on wooden platforms, Mara Bush Camp - private wing offers the desired exclusivity for guests who are looking for maximum privacy. Join us in the Bar / Lounge where you can sample our classic cocktails, fresh juices and mocktails. You will find a charging station for your camera batteries and laptops in the Photo Lounge. All 08 River Tents (2 are family rooms) are designed with great attention to detail and overlooking the river. The remaining 04 tents are set in the shady Croton Bush Forest. The tents are designed to give you ample space, with a bedroom, en-suite bathroom and a wooden, private verandah / deck with lounge chairs, a writing desk, bathrobes & slippers. The camp offers beautiful walk ways with little bridges and a well thought out central fire place to give you that special ' Out of Africa' feel. It is a cozy place to unwind and enjoy a drink while listening to the safari stories of other guests. Mara Bush Camp - Private wing is not fenced and wildlife roams freely. Enjoy nature uninterrupted at this unique intimate luxury camp.

I went to the Mara for five nights I stayed in Mara bush camp Private wing for 3 nights doing 6 game drives FIRST LETS TALK ABOUT THE SERVICE AND PROPERTY The service was brilliant. My family n I are vegetarian but we faced no problems as the chef was ready to make special arrangements for us.AT night when we would sleep we could here hyenas and hippos Each family had their own butler who would help at all times NOW ABOUT THE WILDLIFE AND LOCATION Mara bush camp has no borders and is located in the centre of the Mara so there will always be a masai man to guide you THE SAFARIS ARE UNDOUBTEDLY THE BEST In this part of the forest .....In one of our safaris we left the lodge and in under five minutes we saw a leopard trying to make an hunt.ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS WAS AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP AND I WILL GO BACK THE NEXT TIME I VISIT MARA

This camp is a cultural experience as well as a lovely place to stay. The accommodations are in a tent which is very private. The surrounding area is full of wildlife. Our tent was near the river and we could see and hear the hippos daily. The staff is excellent and very attentive.Because the camp is not fenced there was a staff member who was our "guard" for moving around the camp during the dark hours. He was attentive, friendly, and very alert to the surroundings. The food was wonderful with Chef Obi preparing the meals. I would stay here again.
