Mara Bush House
Private bush homes in the heart of the Masai Mara
Mara Bush House is a secluded, luxurious safari home nestled in one of the most wildlife-rich regions on Earth—the famed Masai Mara in Kenya. Designed for families and small groups seeking a personalized and intimate adventure, this private residence offers a unique and unforgettable safari experience far removed from the crowds and conventional lodges. Whether you’re an avid wildlife enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply seeking tranquility and exclusivity, Mara Bush House blends luxury, nature, and authentic Kenyan hospitality to create a home away from home in the wild.
A Personalized Safari Experience Like No Other
One of the standout features of Mara Bush House is the bespoke nature of each stay. Unlike typical safari accommodations that follow strict schedules, guests at Mara Bush House enjoy the flexibility of crafting a personalized itinerary that suits their interests and pace. Whether you’re eager to rise before dawn for a sunrise game drive or prefer a leisurely morning followed by an afternoon bush walk, your schedule is completely in your hands.
This flexibility is enhanced by the exclusive-use nature of the property. When you book Mara Bush House, you get the entire home to yourself—complete with a dedicated team including a private guide, chef, housekeeper, and vehicle. This allows for a truly immersive and tailored experience, where your preferences, dietary needs, and activity choices are not only considered but prioritized.
Witness the Wonders of the Masai Mara
Mara Bush House is located in one of Africa’s premier safari destinations, offering unparalleled opportunities to observe wildlife up close. Just beyond your doorstep lies the vast expanse of the Masai Mara National Reserve—home to lions, elephants, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and countless other species.
Guests can embark on thrilling game drives led by expert local guides who share deep knowledge of the region and its wildlife. One of the biggest highlights is the chance to witness the Great Migration, a natural spectacle where millions of wildebeest and zebras move across the plains in search of greener pastures, often pursued by predators in a dramatic display of survival.
In addition to game drives, guests can explore the area on guided bush walks, visit nearby Maasai communities to learn about local culture, or simply sit back on the veranda and watch the wildlife unfold before their eyes.
Luxurious and Exclusive Accommodation
At the heart of Mara Bush House’s charm is its intimate and elegant accommodation. The house features just three spacious and tastefully designed bedrooms, ensuring privacy and a strong connection with the natural surroundings.
Spacious and Elegant Bedrooms
Each of the three bedrooms is thoughtfully appointed with a blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. Expect hand-crafted wooden furnishings, mosquito-netted four-poster beds, and soft linens that invite you to rest after a day of adventure. The décor is inspired by the natural beauty of the region, with warm earthy tones, local textiles, and artwork that celebrate Kenyan heritage.
Large windows flood each room with natural light and offer stunning views of the surrounding bush. Whether it’s the sight of a zebra grazing nearby or the soft amber glow of an African sunset, each moment feels magical and connected to the land.
En-suite Bathrooms for Ultimate Comfort
Every bedroom at Mara Bush House comes with its own en-suite bathroom designed to offer both luxury and functionality. These spa-like spaces include separate bathtubs and showers, allowing guests to unwind in style. After a thrilling day tracking wildlife, there’s nothing more soothing than a long, warm bath while listening to the nighttime calls of the wild.
The house operates on 24-hour solar-powered energy, delivering all the modern comforts you need—such as hot water, lighting, and charging facilities—while staying true to a philosophy of environmental sustainability. By minimizing its ecological footprint, Mara Bush House ensures that future generations will be able to enjoy the untouched beauty of the Masai Mara.
Exceptional Hospitality and Personalized Service
Staying at Mara Bush House is not just about luxurious accommodation—it’s also about the exceptional people who make the experience truly special. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by a warm and dedicated team that feels more like a family than staff.
Your private chef will prepare delicious meals tailored to your tastes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Whether you’re craving traditional Kenyan dishes or international cuisine, every meal is an occasion.
