Karen Blixen Camp

Karen Blixen Camp is its prime location within the Mara North Conservancy, a private conservation area adjacent to the world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. This prime positioning offers guests several advantages, including exclusive game-viewing opportunities, fewer crowds, and an intimate connection with nature. The camp’s location on a private concession also allows for unique activities not permitted within the national reserve, such as night drives, guided bush walks, and off-road game viewing.

Situated along the picturesque Mara River, the camp provides a front-row seat to the daily rhythms of the African wilderness. Guests can witness hippos basking in the water, crocodiles sunning themselves on the riverbanks, and a variety of wildlife making their way to the river for a refreshing drink. The camp’s setting ensures an immersive experience where nature’s beauty unfolds right before your eyes.

Inside, the tents are beautifully appointed with elegant furnishings, including a large bed draped in crisp linens, plush Persian rugs, and a cozy armchair. The en-suite bathroom adds an element of indulgence, featuring twin washbasins, a flush toilet, and a stunning outdoor shower that allows guests to bathe beneath the open sky while enjoying the serenity of nature. To ensure maximum comfort, each tent is equipped with 24-hour electricity, providing guests with the convenience of modern amenities while maintaining an authentic safari ambiance.
