Ol Seki Hemingways Mara
Ol Seki Hemingways Mara is a tented camp set in the Naboisho Private Conservancy, which borders Kenya's Maasai Mara Reserve. A private conservancy offers you an exclusive safari experience as well as additional activities such as night drives and walks. Big game viewing, particularly predators, is extraordinary year-round.

Each features a private viewing deck for casual game viewing and intimate dinners. The Simba villa is perfect for added privacy and comes with its own dedicated chef and private safari vehicle. The main area comprises of a library, dining tent, infinity swimming pool and Sunset Deck with a large firepit where you can relax between game drives and where you will gather for a drink before supper.
