Mara Plains offers the most incredible perspective across the Kenyan savannah. Kenya's amazing wildlife is on your doorstep and it was wonderful sitting on our deck reading a book and watching giraffes saunter by on the horizon. The rooms are large and spacious with stylish...More

Two more important advantages of Mara Plains Camp:
1. It is located in a private conservancy. Therefore you get the advantage of less vehicle and Jeep traffic and fewer tourists so more privacy in viewing the game. Most of the camps are in the Mara which are public and therefore much more crowded. So even though you are paying more for the privacy, it is well worth it.
2. Also, if you are a photography buff, it is the only camp that I am aware of (and I have been to 19 of them), that allows each of their guests to use a professional grade Canon camera during their stay and they will download the images for you on a memory card at the end of your stay. The guides are all photography buffs and the owner are National Geographic photographers so your exposure so to speak is fantastic.
Hope this helps. Nicest camp I have ever stayed at.
