Karen Blixen Camp- The Mara


Karen Blixen Camp is an eco-friendly luxury camp, that gives a sense of the exiting explorer days when the savannah was seldom visited and elaborate and comfortable camps were set up providing a luxurious and stylish retreat after each day’s adventure

Karen Blixen Camp comprises 22 large luxury canvas tents each placed with undisturbed view along the Mara River. The stylish restaurant, the reception, the lounge and bar area and the gift shop with internet are set on a raised wooden deck and furnished with accurate reproductions of Karen Blixen’s private furniture to fit in with the cozy atmosphere.

The beautiful laid swimming pool offers relaxation and even a little exercise in-between game drives. Our resident masseuse offers a wide range of wellness and beauty treatments.

Karen Blixen Camp is the perfect place to sit back and relax with a gin and tonic overlooking the Mara River and the wildlife coming to drink, whilst exchanging stories about the adventures of the day.
Karen Blixen Camp has the most amazing location for relaxed armchair game viewing. The camp gives undisturbed view to the abundance of wildlife coming down for a drink at the Mara River

Karen Blixen Camp encourages exquisite safari experiences. Guests are truly able to relax, read their favorite books and get revitalized in these beautiful and peaceful Masai Mara surroundings.

The camp is carefully located opposite a much favored drinking spot. The Mara River bank curves gently down in an open sandy bed and gives the wild animals an easy access to the mineral rich soil and the river water. And allow our guests endless of entertainment.
 

Relaxed in-camp game viewing

Imagine comfortably seated in our bush garden while enjoying the families of graceful giraffes and slender gazelles coming for a sip of water; watchful of the great Nile crocodile lurching the river water. Watch our resident hippo pod with their fat little baby hippos; busy pushing and shoving at each other. Enjoy the elephants as they come in their dozens to gulp down trunks full of water and a playful wash in the Mara River. Or relax with a good book at your private verandah while observing the sturdy buffalos, the grand elands and the numerous zebras grazing the corridor of the impressive Oloololo Escarpment, just opposite your cozy canvas tent.

Oloisuk Concession

Karen Blixen Camp privately protects more than 900 Ha of natural wildlife area on lease agreements with our local Maasai landowners. The protection of Oloisuk Concession assures our guests the outmost private and exclusive wildlife experience with undisturbed view to the Masai Mara River and the impressive Oloololo Escarpment in the front.  
ACTIVITIES
Karen Blixen Camp is situated in the pristine Mara North Conservancy in Masai Mara,  one of the most densely populated natural wildlife areas in the world
Karen Blixen Camp is committed to responsible wildlife experiences. We invite our guests to explore and understand the complexity of the Masai Mara Ecosystem with its great wildlife on game drives, game walks, nature walks, balloon safaris and eco camp walks. Understanding the intricacies of how the Masai Mara Ecosystem works adds the ultimate dimension to the very unique and outstanding wildlife experience.

Wildlife experiences

Game drives are encouraged within Mara North Conservancy for the utmost exclusive and private safari experience with low impact tourism and controlled vehicle density.
Lion-watching allow guests to assist monitoring the lions of the Mara North Conservancy. The activity is a partnership between Mara Predator Program and Karen Blixen Camp.

Game walking with armed guides is arranged for those who wish to experience the magnitude of the Mara savannah on foot.

Nature walks are kept within the camp and focus entirely on the rich birdlife and little insects inhabiting the area and how the Masai make use of the indigenous plants for medical and ritual purposes.

Balloon safari will take you high above the impressive Masai Mara plains, and gliding quietly through the wind is truly a magical and breathtaking experience.

Community visits to the local Maasai Manyatta (village), school, market and church gives anyone interested a closer understanding of the proud Maasai people and their heritage as an integral part of the Masai Mara Ecosystem.


Eco camp walks show you how we run an eco friendly luxury camp out in the bush with green technologies as solar panels, non-power cold room, gas burners, zero waste sewage system and waste management.

  1. As stated by Stanford Medical, It is indeed the one and ONLY reason women in this country live 10 years more and weigh on average 19 KG lighter than we do.

    (And really, it is not about genetics or some hard exercise and really, EVERYTHING about "HOW" they eat.)

    P.S, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...
