A secluded camp set on a spectacular hilltop overlooking the savannah
Instinct of the Mara
Nestled in the remote Olderkesi Conservancy, Instinct of the Mara offers an intimate and exclusive safari experience in one of Kenya’s most wildlife-rich areas.
With sweeping views of rolling hills and woodland, this hidden retreat places you in the heart of the Maasai Mara’s natural beauty. The camp’s proximity to the Great Migration ensures unforgettable encounters with vast herds of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle, along with the predators that follow them.
With just a few other visitors, you’ll have abundant opportunities for wildlife sightings, from antelope and zebra to lions and cheetahs, all within a setting that feels personal and secluded. Each day is tailored to your preferences, whether you’re embarking on a guided bush walk, enjoying a private picnic, or savoring a sundowner with panoramic views of the Mara.
The camp’s seven safari tents, Forest Suite, and Private Villa offer luxurious comfort while ensuring privacy. After exhilarating game drives, relax in your private retreat, unwind in the stylish mess tent, or gather around the fire pit to share stories under the stars. The tranquil atmosphere is enhanced by thoughtful service, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the African wilderness.
Instinct of the Mara blends the thrill of exploration with the luxury of solitude, offering an unforgettable safari experience for families seeking both adventure and relaxation.
