Our take
Mara Plains Camp is an intimate luxury safari camp set within the private Olare Motorogi Conservancy on the edge of the Maasai Mara. With just a handful of beautifully designed tents, exceptional guiding, and access to both private conservancy land and the national reserve, it offers one of Kenya’s most exclusive and immersive safari experiences.
Located in the wildlife-rich Olare Motorogi Conservancy, bordering the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Mara Plains Camp is renowned for its exceptional guiding and deep commitment to conservation. The camp blends classic East African safari traditions with a strong design narrative inspired by Swahili and East African heritage, featuring rich textiles, antiques, and handcrafted furnishings. Its position within a private conservancy allows guests to enjoy uncrowded wildlife viewing.
We recommend Mara Plains selectively according to season, routing, room availability and the experience offered by the other stops in your itinerary.
