Naboisho Camp

Set in the 210km² private Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Naboisho Camp offers spectacular game viewing, from the herds of antelope that dot the plains of this wilderness corridor throughout the year, to the high concentrations of predators, including lion and cheetah.

With just nine spacious tented suites, Naboisho is an intimate and elegant safari camp that balances your wilderness experience with discreet creature comforts. Even better, Naboisho Camp offers the options of overnight fly camping, walking safaris, off road driving, wilderness picnics and night drives, activities not commonly available in most national parks. If you have a truly adventurous spirit, don’t miss out on this opportunity to immerse yourself in the magic of the African bush!

A true wildlife haven, the Mara Naboisho Conservancy has a higher density of game than the adjacent Masai Mara National Reserve. The big cats reside here in big numbers, with over 100 lions living in the vicinity, the conservancy has one of the highest lion densities in the world. Because such a healthy lion population is not possible without an equally healthy wildlife food chain below it, you can expect astounding game viewing. Impressive numbers of elephant, giraffe, wildebeest and zebra, as well as 266 bird species also call the area home. Sightings of the rare and elusive African wild dog are frequent.

In addition to the abundance of resident game, the Mara Naboisho Conservancy also serves as a vital migration corridor for the little-known Loita Migration, which sees up to 5 000 wildebeest and 1 000 zebra move though the area annually from the Mara Reserve to the Loita Plains in the east. The existence of the Mara Naboisho Conservancy ensures that ancient migratory cycles and patterns are left undisturbed.

The Camp has its own specialised photographic safari vehicle, able to accommodate 3 photographers (and their equipment) as well as 1 additional guest. This experience is not to be missed for avid photographers and brings you closer than ever, you’ll be at eye-level, or even lower, with the wildlife…. allowing you to get that dream shot.

Designed to take full advantage of its wilderness surrounds, Naboisho Camp is superbly comfortable. At the main communal area, the thatched lounge and dining room provide a splendid vantage point of the nearby waterhole, and meals are served to sights and sounds of the Kenyan wilderness. High levels of personalised service from a team that has worked together for many years create the warm yet understated hospitality that is the hallmark of Naboisho Camp.

The nine generous tented suites offer comfortable king-sized beds (twin beds are available) and private facilities with indoor and outdoor hot running showers and flushing toilets. Each suite benefits from a private veranda furnished with a day bed, for the ultimate in post-game-drive relaxation.

The guides at Naboisho are adept at offering a deeper understanding of this complex ecosystem, making it an ideal choice for experienced safari travellers on their second or third visit to Africa, who are seeking a more profound experience.

The Camp is also the starting point for the Traverse the Mara on Foot adventure!
