Mara Nyika

Set amidst the iconic flat-topped Acacia trees of Kenya, Mara Nyika is designed like a luxurious tree camp. The light colored canvas suites rise above the tree canopies to offer outstanding views of the Masai Mara landscape. Carrying the spirit of exploration and adventure, guests at camp have access to the exclusive 50,000-acre private reserve rich in big game. The camp also supports sustainable tourism with community efforts for the Maasai tribespeople, gaining their guardianship in our continued efforts for wildlife conservation in this vital corridor of the Mara eco-system. An important route for the Great Migration, our guests enjoy a multifaceted experience in the Masai Mara from this unique location.
