Mara Ripoi Conservancy is a 19,500-acre wildlife conservancy situated on a tranche of land belonging to approximately 1,600 local Maasai individuals from the community, who have leased it for 25 years to conserve the area as a protected habitat for the teeming wildlife.

The conservancy connects to Siana Conservancy and then directly to the Mara Reserve, allowing free movement of wildlife from the Reserve as well as across a wildlife corridor along the Ripole River to Ol Kinyei Conservancy.

The camp is located in the Mara Ripoi Conservancy just outside Kenya’s famed Masai Mara National Reserve. The camp is a 90-minute drive from Narok, approximately 15 kilometers before the Sekenani gate entrance to the Masai Mara, and then 15 kilometers once you turn off that road.

It is also accessible by air, with the Siana Springs airstrip (ten minutes away) or the Keekorok airstrip (one hour away) being viable options. Mara Siana has eight tents, six double en-suite tents, and two family tents, with each family tent having two bedrooms, each with its own two bathrooms.

The tents each feature a private deck and a double vanity bathroom, and are powered by solar energy to provide hot, running water.
