Few places on earth can rival the setting of Mara Intrepids on the vast savannah grasslands of the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. This world famous reserve is the northern extension of the sprawling Serengeti of Tanzania and the two ecosystems make for the greatest wildlife spectacle on the planet – from the million or more wildebeest migrating with changing seasons between the Mara and the Serengeti to the flocks of birds from Eurasia; from the prides of black-maned lions to herds of elephants; from sparring hippos in the rivers to the insouciant crocodiles lying in wait of prey. 

Built on the banks of the Talek River, which joins the Mara River and eventually drains into waters of the Victoria, Africa’s largest freshwater lake and source of the mysterious Nile

Each of the 30 elegant tents  are raised on stilts, and opens to the Talek River with that signature view of the endless plains.  Recently refurbished to accommodate the modern, discerning safari traveler, the tents are large and spacious with private verandahs to enjoy the river and the plains, giving infinite views of the Mara.  It’s luxury in the wild. 
In addition there are two family luxury tents, gorgeous homes under canvas.  Beautifully decorated in stylistic African ethnic and modern pieces, the two bed-roomed family tents include a spacious lounge and an outside deck looking out at the river and the plains beyond.  All have ensuite bathrooms and washrooms.
For quiet moments, you can escape to the high tower in the forest glade and scan the tree canopy of the riverine forest and the plains.  It’s a great vantage lookout point for any wildlife that strolls by or stalks the prey.

Dining al fresco on the outside patio of the restaurant is a delight under the canopy of towering trees and untouched gardens. Every meal is a feast. The kitchen boasts its own vegetable garden where the freshest of homegrown herbs, fruits and vegetables are grown.

Overlooking the Burrungat plains, drinks at the bar – alcoholic or non-alcoholic –can be exciting. The very eagle-eyed can catch sight of an elephant quietly slipping through the riverine forest or the occasional leopard making a kill. The bar is open all day till the last patron retires. 

Activities include game drives, Adventure’s Club where children accompanying their parents on safari can learn about the wild from our Maasai naturalists who specialize in plants, wildlife and survival skills. Other optional activities are balloon safari, photographic safari, nature walks, cultural visits, star gazing, birding.
