Overview of Encounter Mara

Encounter Mara is a luxury, tented camp located in the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, which is part of Kenya’s famous Masai Mara ecosystem. The design of the camp is eco-friendly and consists of a central lounge tent with a view over a salt-lick, and an outdoor relaxation area. Go on game drives in the Masai Mara, with the camp’s own expertly trained and knowledgeable Maasai guides.

Depending on the time you choose to visit, you may also see the annual Wildebeest Migration in the Mara, although this area is great for year-round wildlife viewing and offers excellent sightings. The Mara Naboisho Conservancy offers a high density of wildlife and a low density of other tourists, making for a truly memorable safari away from the crowds.
