Offbeat Mara Camp

Tucked away in a quiet corner of The Mara North Conservancy, Offbeat Mara offers an exclusive Masai Mara experience with everything a traditional safari camp should encompass.

Nestled within the 74,000-acre private Mara North Conservancy, Offbeat Mara Camp offers an exclusive safari experience in one of Africa's most wildlife-rich landscapes. Access to the conservancy is limited to member camps, ensuring exceptional game viewing with minimal vehicle traffic and strict wildlife-viewing etiquette. The result is an authentic, uncrowded safari that is becoming increasingly rare.


Offbeat Mara Camp redefines the classic safari camp with exceptional guiding, warm hospitality, outstanding cuisine, and a relaxed atmosphere that makes every guest feel at home.


The camp features just seven spacious safari tents, preserving its intimate and personalised character. Accommodation includes five double/twin tents and two family tents, each thoughtfully positioned to maximise privacy and sweeping views of the surrounding wilderness.


Every tent offers:

* En-suite bathroom with flushing toilet and traditional hot safari shower

* Private veranda overlooking the bush

* Wi-Fi and charging facilities

* Comfortable furnishings designed to blend seamlessly with the natural environment


At the heart of the camp is the welcoming mess tent, featuring a well-stocked bar, elegant dining area, comfortable lounge, cosy fireplace, and a tranquil forest deck where guests can relax between safari activities.


The Mara North Conservancy is renowned for its extraordinary wildlife, offering some of the finest game viewing in Africa. The area is home to abundant predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, making it a dream destination for wildlife photographers.


The resident Offbeat Pride of lions is particularly famous, and the camp's experienced guides have followed these lions for over two decades. Their intimate knowledge of individual animals and their histories provides guests with fascinating insights and unforgettable wildlife encounters.


Guests can enjoy a range of exceptional safari experiences, including:


* Unlimited daytime game drives
