Offbeat Mara

Seven en-suite tents comprise five double or twin tents and two family tents. The standard tents have double and single beds, private verandas, charging points and bathrooms with flushing toilets and plumbed hot showers. Family accommodation provides separate sleeping areas and additional bathroom facilities, giving parents and children more space. Canvas bedrooms and open verandas preserve the feel of a traditional bush camp, while the recently refreshed shared areas provide comfortable places to gather.

Game drives explore Mara North by day and into the evening, with guided walks offering a closer look at tracks, plants and smaller wildlife. Cultural visits, markets and runs with Maasai guides add variety beyond vehicle safaris. Balloon flights are an additional excursion. A visit to the national reserve can be planned where useful, particularly during the migration season, although herd movements and river crossings remain unpredictable.

The two family tents offer separate sleeping areas, rather than placing everyone in one standard bedroom. Their layout and extra bathroom space make a useful difference on a longer stay. Safari timing can incorporate children's meals and rest periods.

Choose Offbeat for a safari that prioritises guided time in the field and a relaxed camp routine. Three or four nights gives room for different activities without making every day a transfer. A coastal stay can follow for a clear change of pace.
