Enjoy individual game drives at the guest‘s preferred times in open game drive vehicles in the private conservancy and in the Maasai Mara National Reserve

Location: Tucked away in a private and remote corner of Kenya's Masai Mara, Instinct of the Mara offers a true wilderness experience in the exclusive Olderkesi Conservancy. With just one other camp in the entire 70,000-acre conservancy, this is the kind of place where you can still feel the quiet thrill of discovery. It is home to all the wildlife the Mara is famous for, but without the crowds.

Rooms: The camp is small and deliberately low impact, with just seven premium safari tents, one suite and one private villa that all blend seamlessly into the landscape. Each one is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and views, with plenty of space and natural materials. Expect soft lighting, hot bucket showers, flushing loos, and proper beds - with just the canvas between you and the sounds of the wild.

Amenities: This is a camp that focuses on what really matters. There is a relaxed mess tent for dining and relaxing, a well-stocked bar, and a small library corner. The team here knows how to look after you properly, with attentive hosting and excellent meals served under the stars or by the fire. It isn't flashy, but it's quietly luxurious in all the right ways!

Activities: What makes Instinct of the Mara special is how close you feel to the land. Game drives are completely private, with no other vehicles around, and guided walks are a real highlight - tracking lion spoor, reading the bush, and learning from the expert guides who really know this landscape like the back of their hand. Night drives and fly-camping can also be arranged, and the chance to explore without another soul in sight is something we don't take for granted. You also get your own private vehicle per booking which is a massive win!

Sustainability: Instinct of the Mara is owned and run by people who care deeply about conservation and community. The camp was built with a light footprints, runs almost entirely off solar power, and works closely with the local Maasai community to protect the land and wildlife. From supporting anti-poaching efforts to funding local schools, sustainability here is not a buzzword - it is the foundation of everythign they do.
