Dik Dik 2 Bedroom Safari Cottage Mara North Conservancy

Dik Dik House (Part of Bascecamp Mara Houses) is a delightful, intimate, and private safari house peacefully tucked away in the woodland of the tranquil Ol Chorro Losoit Valley. Located within the 74,000-acre (30,000-hectare) Mara North Conservancy, this exclusive-use bush retreat is designed for families or small groups seeking a “home away from home” far from the crowds.

Perfect for one or two couples or a small family, the house comfortably accommodates 4 guests (up to 6 with extra beds). With a private viewing tower and a deck overlooking a busy wildlife path, guests can watch monkeys, baboons, zebras, giraffes, and even buffalo wander by throughout the day.

Situated on the northwestern border of the Masai Mara National Reserve, the property sits in a beautiful private wilderness area known for its rolling savannah, acacia trees, riverine forest, and pioneering commitment to community conservation.
