Ashnil Mara Camp is a luxury safari camp located in the heart of Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, near the confluence of the Mara and Olkeju Rivers. This prime location provides breathtaking views of the surrounding savannah and ensures exceptional wildlife encounters, especially during the Great Migration when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles cross the Mara River.
The camp features 50 well appointed luxury tents, designed to offer modern comforts while maintaining an authentic safari experience. Each tent includes an en-suite bathroom, hot showers, private deck, and stylish furnishings, ensuring a comfortable stay in the wild. Guests can unwind at the swimming pool, enjoy delicious meals at the open air restaurant, or relax at the lounge bar while taking in the scenic beauty of the Maasai Mara.
Ashnil Mara Camp offers a variety of activities, including game drives, guided nature walks, hot air balloon safaris, and Maasai cultural visits, allowing guests to fully immerse themselves in the beauty and heritage of the region. With its strategic location, modern amenities, and personalized service, Ashnil Mara Camp provides an unforgettable safari experience for both adventure seekers and luxury travelers.
Best Time to Visit Ashnil Mara Camp
The Masai Mara is excellent year round, but the most famous time is the Great Migration season from July to October, when millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the Mara River. This period offers dramatic river crossings and predator action. From December to February, the short dry season provides good wildlife viewing with fewer crowds. The green season from March to June brings lush scenery, migratory birds, and lower rates, though roads may be muddy during heavy rains.
How to Get to Ashnil Mara Camp
The camp is easy to access by both air and road. Daily flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport land at Keekorok or Olkiombo airstrip, followed by a short drive to camp. By road, the journey from Nairobi takes about 5 to 6 hours, passing through the Rift Valley and into the Mara. While longer, the drive offers scenic views and a chance to experience rural Kenya along the way.
