Ideally located on a lush bend in the Talek River with ultimate sightings of the Great Migration if you come from July to September.

Overview

Mara Explorer Camp features 10 sumptuous and well-spaced tents overlooking the Talek River in Kenya all decked out in colonial-style safari décor, and open-air Victorian bathtubs. Stay right where you are to view the wildlife at the river all day and become immersed in the Great Migration when it passes by during July to September. 

Find Mara Explorer Camp – a rustic yet elegant safari camp in the middle of the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, 5 hours’ drive from Nairobi and just a quick drive from the airstrip. 

Hospitable friendly staff at Explorer Tented Camp care about your every need and serve delicious meals three times a day – awaken with a dawn breakfast, taste lunches in the bush if you are out and about and dine in the cosy dining tent with river views after a thrilling nocturnal game drive. 

Think about a hot air balloon safari over the rolling grasslands and smooth hills where prides of majestic lions lurk, waiting for zebra and wildebeest to run past. Look out for the great herds of beasts like buffalo and elephant and maybe a spotted hyena will put on a show for you.
