Where nature’s heartbeat echoes and adventure is endless.

Perched on a natural hilltop overlooking a bustling watering hole and endless rolling plains, the Eagle View Camp offers a front-row seat to nature’s grand spectacle.

Here, nine elegant canvas tents provide an intimate retreat, each featuring an ensuite bathroom and customizable sleeping arrangements- whether you prefer a plush double bed or cozy twin setup.

Here, you get to wake up to sweeping views of the savanna, sip your morning tea on your private veranda, or indulge in a leisurely breakfast right outside your tent. Designed with understated elegance, the tent’s minimalist design perfectly complements the untamed beauty of the Masai Mara.

At the heart of the camp, beautifully crafted communal spaces bring guests together in the most scenic of settings. The open-air dining deck offers both covered and alfresco seating, where you can savor locally inspired dishes while gazing over the vast landscape. As twilight descends, the fire pit on the viewing deck becomes a hub of storytelling and camaraderie, where adventurers gather to share tales of the day’s encounters. This seamless blend of comfort and authenticity defines the spirit of Eagle View- offering a deep connection to nature without compromising on modern conveniences. For those needing to stay connected, Wi-Fi and a computer station are available at the reception area, though many find the beauty of the Mara far more captivating than any screen.

True to its wild, untamed setting, Eagle View Camp remains unfenced, ensuring an uninterrupted flow of wildlife through its grounds. Children aged 7 and above are welcome, with guests 15 and older able to partake in guided safari walks- an exhilarating way to experience the bush on foot. Meanwhile, younger adventurers can try their hand at archery at the camp’s Dorobo Club. While there’s no interconnected family suite, Eagle View’s intimate setup attracts solo travelers and couples alike, offering a harmonious balance of social spaces and tranquil solitude. With its enticing rates and unbeatable location, this camp promises an experience that’s as raw and real as the land itself.

Tripadvisor comments Basecamp Eagle View

"This is a beautiful camp on the side of a hill overlooking a wide landscape. The camp provided everything we needed but the highlights were definitely the amazing staff and the diversity of wildlife we saw everyday. Our guides were simply first rate and they always had a sense of where animals could be found and were quick to get us there. We would think we couldn't have a better day and then on the next drive we'd see something new. The food was delicious and the staff were beautiful, friendly, and kind people."
"The tent cabin was so lovely. It looked over the valley below with breathtaking views. The whole camp faces the valley and so whether you are in the restaurant or sitting by the fire having drinks with fellow travelers, you are enjoying the view filled with zebra, wildebeast, beautiful birds and more. The safari is fabulous. Our guide Nash was super, amazing and so fun. We had a happy hour in the evening while watching a Lion Pride frollic on the savanna. Wow! I highly recommend Eagle View."
