Offbeat Mara Camp
Masai Mara
Offbeat Mara Camp is a 12 bed traditional semi-permanent camp situated on the Olare Orok water system, on the newly formed Mara North Conservancy (formerly Koyiaki), north of the Masai Mara Game Reserve. This unspoilt part of Masailand is an area full of wildlife but far from any other camp or lodge. Offbeat Mara Camp works with the local Masai community. All our guides are graduates of the Koyiaki Guiding School and 2 out of 3 have KPSGA Silver badges. The Mara offers amazing gameviewing throughout the year and features the annual wildebeest migration in July – September. The camp is hosted by Penny Killebrew.
Accommodation
The camp sleeps only twelve guests in six large tents – three doubles and three twins (an extra bed can be added to your tent). Each tent has its own en-suite bathroom with hot bucket showers, wash basins and flush loos. The spacious tents are all furnished with large, hand made cedar beds, 24 hour solar lighting and the finest linen.
Informal dining is hosted in the mess tent or around the campfire. Delicious English breakfasts, lighter lunches and three course dinners are served each evening. Guests can also relax in the bar and living room tent, which is furnished with comfortable sofas, a writing desk, and library and fully stocked bar.
