      Overview

      Mara Plains Camp is a one-of-a-kind camp located in the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy, just on the Maasai Mara National Reserve’s northern boundary. This intimate camp, one of Kenya’s only three Relais & Chateaux properties (other being sister properties ol Donyo Lodge and Mara Nyika Camp), blends the finest in wildlife viewing with the best of safari hospitality and guiding. Guests staying at Mara Plains Camp enjoy access to private conservancy land in the Olare Motorogi Conservancy as well as the world-renowned Maasai Mara Reserve.

      Each guest at Mara Plains Camp contributes considerably to the success of the Olare Motorogi Conservancy’s flourishing ecosystem; conservation fees paid to safeguard this habitat while supporting over 1,000 Maasai families. This partnership agreement ensures the survival of an astounding volume and variety of wildlife.

      Olare Motorogi Conservancy is reputed to have the lowest vehicle density in the Maasai Mara region, while also having the highest concentration of big cats anywhere in Africa. There is only one guest bed per 350 acres, leaving the land unadulterated for the wildlife to roam and thrive, as nature intended.

      Each of the camp's five luxury suites have deep canvas canopied ceilings, mosquito netting draped around the bed, rough-hewn recycled wood flooring, and accents of East Africa’s rich safari history. Thick Lamu wood doors, leather couches, and brass accents transport guests to a time and land far away. The lounge, en-suite facilities including a deep copper bath and extensive private verandah, complete these stunning tented suites. These stylistic elements coupled with environment elements such as solar power make Mara Plains Camp a modern-day retreat.

      The Jahazi Suite at Mara Plains is a private, intimate, two-bedroom exquisite tented suite built entirely under canvas. It is on raised, recycled railway sleeper decking and offers guests incredible views of the steady stream of wildlife parading past whilst discreetly tucked away under the tree canopy.

      Central to The Jahazi Suite at Mara Plains is an indoor dining area leading out to a prominent private outdoor verandah and flanked by two large bedrooms with en-suite facilities. A short walkway leads off the main area to a private swimming pool.

      Why We Love It
      • A small & intimate Camp with just 5 x Luxury Suites & 1 x two-bedroom Suite (sleeping only 14 guests).
      • Located in a private conservancy (away from the crowds).
      • Great for guests keen for a photographic safari experience!
      • The perfect option for Honeymooners or guests wanting a romantic holiday.
