Panoramic views and classic safari decor

Tucked away in the untouched beauty of Naboisho Conservancy, far from the well-trodden safari paths, Ol Seki Hemingway’s Mara Camp rises elegantly atop an arrowhead-shaped bluff, commanding sweeping views of the Isupukai River. This exclusive retreat, with its handful of lavish safari tents, promises a stay defined by privacy and immersion in nature. Each tent is carefully positioned to offer solitude, ensuring uninterrupted moments of tranquility. The heart of the camp exudes warmth and intimacy, with inviting communal spaces where guests can sip a drink, share tales of the wild, and soak in the enchanting landscape. Thoughtfully designed with wooden-floored dining and lounge tents, soft, plush seating, and panoramic vistas, the camp is a haven of comfort in the wilderness.

From the main deck, the magic of the Mara unfolds as wildlife gracefully moves toward the camp’s private watering hole, drawn by the promise of refreshment. As dusk paints the sky in amber and gold, this vantage point transforms into the ultimate sundowner spot, with the flickering firepit adding a cozy touch. When night descends, the vast African sky shimmers with stars, while paraffin lanterns and candlelight cast a golden glow, setting the stage for a peaceful retreat into the night.

Carved into the natural rock, Ol Seki’s secluded swimming pool offers a hidden oasis of relaxation. Encircled by a stone terrace, the pool’s sunken seating area wraps around a central firepit, creating an inviting space to linger. Whether indulging in a revitalizing spa treatment, curling up with a book in the lounge tent, or simply basking in the breathtaking valley views, every moment here is designed for absolute serenity. With Wi-Fi ensuring a connection to the outside world and a seamless laundry service available, comfort and convenience are always within reach.

Ol Seki’s distinctive round canvas tents redefine luxury in the wild, blending generous space, abundant natural light, and a refined vintage aesthetic. Thoughtfully positioned for seclusion, each twelve-sided tent opens up to sweeping panoramas of the endless plains. The six expansive ‘Nina’ tents feature an inviting screened-in deck, tastefully furnished with plush rugs and woven mats, a cozy double bed or twin beds, and enough room for an extra bed if required. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a hot-water shower, a flush toilet, and a well-appointed dressing area. For families or small groups, the camp’s exclusive ‘Chui’ and ‘Simba’ safari tents provide a lavish retreat, boasting two enormous double bedrooms, two en-suite bathrooms, a spacious central lounge, and a fully equipped private kitchen. These private villas also include a cozy indoor sitting area, an elegant dining room, and the indulgence of a private chef for bespoke evening meals. Guests can further unwind with an outdoor shower or retreat into the serene library tent for a peaceful escape.
