Mara Plains Camp is set right in the heart of some of the greatest predator country in Kenya. Mara Plains Camp is located on the northern border of the Masai Mara Game Reserve in the Olare Orok Conservancy. Rarely a night passes without lion roaring nearby, while leopard are regularly found to wander through the camp and cheetah have established territories on the savannah off the main area.
Mara Plains Camp is a small, high quality, seven-roomed camp under canvas and on raised decks with sweeping views across Kenya's notable savannahs. It is among the smallest and most personal camps in the Mara region. As one of just three camps currently operating within the Conservancy, which boasts the region's lowest vehicle density, no mini-buses and only one guest room per 700 acres. www.crocodileracers.com
It is possible to avoid the high tourist density of the Masai Mara Game Reserve proper, if desired. No other camp in the greater Masai Mara Game Reserve or Olare Orok Conservancy has the privilege of traversing opportunities of Mara Plains Camp. Guests are able to traverse three areas as part of their stay at Mara Plains:
Mara Plains Camp is located in private and secure forty five thousand acres piece of land on the route of Kenya's annual wildebeest migration. This area is a vital dry season resource area for diversity of wildlife and as such promises great game viewing throughout the year. Tucked away in a grove of natural forest, the camp is set on the bends of the Ntiakitiak River that cuts through the Olare Orok Conservancy. This is an exclusive Masai owned conservation area on the northern boundary of the Masai Mara National Reserve.
