Mara Intrepids Tented Camp

Mara Intrepids Tented Camp is a luxury safari accommodation built on the banks of the Talek River in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

The camp can be reached either by road or by air. The distance from Nairobi to Masai Mara is approximately 280 km. It takes around 5-6 hours by road while flying time takes approximately 45 minutes. The closest Airstrip is Ol Kiombo just a 2-minute drive from the camp. 

Mara Intrepids Tented Camp Masai Mara has 30 air-conditioned tents consisting of Single tents, Double/ Twin tents & Triple tents. The tents are spread over the riverside site and arranged in 4 distinct clusters.  Each tent is spacious and lavishly fitted with African mahogany furniture, tea/coffee-making facilities, a work desk, a wooden storage chest, a clothes rack, a mosquito net, and 4 poster beds.

The tents have furnished decks with views over the river and the en-suite with double vanities, showers, and flush toilets.
