Rekero Camp Camp in Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.

Where the Wild Comes to You

Perched along a scenic bend of the Talek River, this luxury tented camp offers front-row seats to one of nature’s most dramatic spectacles- the great wildebeest migration. Open from June to March, this luxury tented retreat is just a quick twenty-minute drive from the Ol Kiombo airstrip. However, it’s the camp’s unbeatable location-just 150 meters from a prime river crossing point- that makes it a safari enthusiast’s dream. Tucked within the Musiara sector in the heart of the Maasai Mara National Reserve, Rekero is an ideal base for exploring the wilderness. With resident game frequently wandering near, you can sip a refreshing drink on your private deck and witness the Mara’s magic unfold right before your eyes. When you’re in the mood for company, the camp’s shared spaces provide an inviting atmosphere to swap safari stories over a glass of wine. Nestled between the Mara and Talek Rivers, this camp promises an immersive safari experience unlike any other.

Designed to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, Rekero Camp’s khaki-colored tents offer an elegant yet understated retreat. Each of the nine tents, including two spacious family tents, comes with an en-suite bathroom, complete with flushing toilets and hot-water showers, ensuring both comfort and convenience. Their discreet placement within the landscape encourages wildlife to roam freely, creating unparalleled game-viewing opportunities. The camp’s main social areas include two stylish communal decks—one featuring a lounge and dining space, and the other offering a more intimate setting with plush seating, perfect for unwinding with a sundowner. Guests gather for breakfast and lunch at a long communal table on the main deck, while evenings are reserved for fireside dinners, where stories of the day’s encounters flow as smoothly as the wine. With full-board accommodation and attentive service, Rekero Camp delivers an unforgettable stay in the heart of the wild.

Scattered along the riverbank and shaded by towering trees, each tent at Rekero provides a secluded escape while maintaining easy access to the camp’s main areas via private pathways. Large screened windows allow the fresh Mara breeze to filter in, while the surrounding bushland enhances privacy. At the front of each tent, a screened-in veranda features a daybed, director’s chairs, and a small table—an inviting space to soak in the breathtaking views of the Talek River. Just a short drive from Ol Kiombo airstrip, Rekero Camp ensures a seamless journey into the heart of the Maasai Mara, where adventure, comfort, and the call of the wild converge.
