The Experience
Masai Mara National Game Reserve
Masai Mara National Reserve is an area of preserved savannah wilderness in southwestern
Kenya, along the Tanzanian border. Its animals include lions, cheetahs, elephants, zebras
and hippos. Wildebeest traverse its plains during their annual migration. The landscape has
grassy plains and rolling hills, and is crossed by the Mara and Talek rivers. The area nearby
is dotted with villages (enkangs) of Masai people.
Gazelle, wildebeest and zebra graze in large numbers and where prey is found so are
predators. Not only is this a great place in which to find game, but also the wide greenygold
savannahs spotted with thorn trees make it ideal for photography. The Mara, as it is
known in Kenya, is ravishingly beautiful and also offers long, undisturbed views and utterly
dramatic panoramas. The weather really means something here. The sun may beat down
unforgivingly, huge clouds in fabulous shapes may sweep across the widest of skies, and
the wind ripples the grasses as though they are stroked by a giant hand. The landscape is
stunning.
The Camp
Ilkeliani Camp
Nestled in a river glade in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, the area is a favorite for
elephants coming to drink from the Talek River. The camp has been designed to combine
the old traditional safari style with a modern and fresh feel. Ilkeliani Camp offers only 17
tents and each commanding views of the plains and the wildlife action throughout the day.
It is a permanent camp designed along ecofriendly principles. The ethos is to leave a
minimum foot print on nature.
Each well-equipped tents are stylish with en suite bathroom. They are sited under its own
cluster of shady indigenous trees and you do feel that you are out in the wilderness. The
interiors are spacious and comfortable featuring a front verandah with a day bed and
canvas safari chairs. Home cooked meals combined with personal service contribute to an
unforgettable safari experience
