Overview of Basecamp Masai Mara

Kenya, Masai Mara

Basecamp Masai Mara is a remarkable lodge in the heart of Kenya's iconic Masai Mara, a region rich in both culture and wildlife. Positioned along the banks of the Talek River, the camp offers front-row seats to one of nature's greatest spectacles—the Great Migration. Here, during the migration season, you can witness the dramatic river crossings as herds of wildebeest and zebra navigate crocodile-filled waters in their quest for fresh grazing grounds.

Beyond the thrill of wildlife viewing, Basecamp Masai Mara offers a range of immersive experiences. You can enjoy daily game drives in the renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, led by expert local guides who offer in-depth knowledge of the flora and fauna. Additionally, the camp is situated near Talek Maasai Village, allowing you the unique opportunity to explore the vibrant Maasai culture through guided walks and visits to the local market, enriching your understanding of life in Kenya's Mara region.

Basecamp Masai Mara caters to all types of travellers, from couples on a romantic getaway to families out for adventure. Honeymoon suites offer seclusion and intimacy, while family accommodation ensures comfort for those traveling with children. Young explorers will be entertained by the dedicated Young Explorers Club activities, and all ages will appreciate the enriching visit to the Enjoola Educational Centre, making it the perfect addition to a well-rounded East Africa safari experience.

We had a brilliant time. We saw a kill and was able to see a lion devour a wildebeest. A new experience for me!
