Mara Plains Camp is situated in Kenya's Olare Motorogi Private Conservancy, one of the most iconic wildlife destinations on the planet, with unrivalled access to more than 100,000 acres of exclusive land as well as the 375,000 hectare Maasai Mara Reserve. Only four other camps operate in the Conservancy, guaranteeing an intensely private game viewing experience. As you arrive at the camp, you are greeted by sweeping views across the plains, punctuated by a single, flat-topped acacia tree, the quintessential horizon of East Africa.
Luxurious and intimate, Mara Plains camp comprises 5 guest suites, all elevated on high-rise decks for exceptional views, and each with their own private lounge, en-suite bathroom and copper bath reminiscent of old world safaris. In addition, a honeymoon suite, positioned on a peninsula island accessible via a suspension bridge, offers newly-weds complete privacy, whilst families or small groups seeking an exceptional and exclusive 5-star safari experience will love the exquisitely furnished 2-bedroom Jahazi Suite at Mara Plains which includes the services of its own private butler, chef, private game drive vehicle and guide. Each tent also offers a professional Canon camera and a range of lenses for complimentary use.
Special offer: Book for 4 nights and only pay for 3 nights. Honeymoon offer: Each person receives 25% off accommodation. These offers are valid from 11 January - 13 June 2025 and 01 November - 19 December 2025. Terms and conditions apply.

Holiday to Mara Plains Camp
A super camp, very well run with lovely staff - manager Stella and deputy manager (and our guide) John. The food here was first class and was served wherever you wanted it either al fresco in the main area, in a private dining room or on your own decking. We chose to eat on our decking one evenin…
The most comfortable and tastefully decorated tent on my entire trip. Food was far too spicy and made me incredibly sick. I could not eat dinner my second night at all. Holly and Ben were wonderful and saw that I had a tray with tea and toast in my room.
It was a top class camp to stay at with friendly staff, tasty food and beautiful surroundings. We would like to mention our guide Steve who was very good and we saw 4 of Big Five.
