About Mara Toto Tree Camp

One of the latest offerings from Great Plains, founded by legendary National Geographic filmmakers, Dereck and Beverley Joubert, Mara Toto Tree Camp brings you closer to the wild than you might think possible. Built amongst a canopy of lush ebony trees, the camp is your childhood dream come to life, where you'll gaze across the Masai Mara, scanning the landscape for wildlife. And what wildlife there is! Spy predators galore including leopards, which are often seen on the property, as well as scores of plains game. There are just four tents at this intimate camp, meaning the experience is as exclusive as they come.

What you'll love

You'll get the best of both worlds when it comes to location as the camp is based in the national reserve but still has exclusive access to a nearby conservancy.

Insiders tip

In between safari activities, why not treat yourself to an in-tent massage?

Something to think about

As the camp is within the Masai Mara National Reserve, some activities will be restricted such as night drives.

The property

Constructed entirely on stilts amongst brilliant foliage, Mara Toto is centred around the lounge and dining areas. You'll enjoy hearty meals with fantastic variety at the communal dining tables, always accompanied by a selection of fine wines. Your evenings will be spent around the outdoor firepit as the calls of the wild fill the air. Throughout the camp, there is complimentary wifi access and guests may also use the in-house Canon camera; when it's time to leave, your photos will be loaded onto a handy memory stick.

The rooms

Overlooking the flowing Ntiakitiak River, the rooms are set high above the ground on elevated decks. Built from canvas and wood, they have a rustic, down-to-earth feel and feature campaign-style furnishings including a desk and comfy lounge area. The bathrooms are rather impressive, decked out with a copper bathtub, shower and double vanity areas, as well as cosy dressing gowns and a hairdryer. Each suite has its own pair of high-quality binoculars and fully-equipped Canon camera.

Activities

The camp offers game drives within the Masai Mara National Reserve as well as the 28,000-hectare Mara North Conservancy. You'll explore in one of two specially-designed Land Cruisers, which are entirely open-sided and have a fully-stocked fridge to boot. Apart from the scores of big cats, elephant and antelope, this is a fantastic location to see either the Great Migration or the migration from Loita Plains. Hot air balloon flights and photography lessons are also available.

The Masai Mara is Kenya's flagship conservation region: a place of rolling plains, bush scrub and acacia thicket— known for the seasonal great wildebeest migration, a mass movement of more than two million, wildebeest, zebra, kongoni, topi and gazelle. As exciting as this phenomenon is, there is so much more to this wilderness. Encounter elephants, buffalo, hippo, giraffe, crocodiles and a variety of cats including lion, cheetah, leopard and the shy serval during a stay in these parts.
