In Kenya’s world famous Masai Mara Game Reserve
A dedicated team of staff caters to your every need with complete privacy and spectacular views.
Location: Little Naibor sits quietly within a grove of riverine forest along the banks of the Talek River, in the heart of Kenya’s Masai Mara. This prime position places you right in the middle of one of the world’s most wildlife-rich regions, while still giving a sense of privacy and calm. Tucked just downstream from its larger sister camp, Naibor, this smaller, more exclusive camp is ideally placed for game viewing, particularly during the Great Migration months when the action unfolds just beyond the riverbanks.
Rooms: The camp consists of just two spacious suites, each with its own private lounge and dining area, making Little Naibor perfect for families or small groups after a more exclusive experience. The design is light and contemporary, with flowing canvas, polished wood, and subtle tones that blend seamlessly into the natural setting. Each suite comes with an en-suite bathroom, hot showers, and a shaded deck where you can relax and watch wildlife wander past, often without needing to leave your tent.
Amenities: While small in scale, Little Naibor offers a genuinely luxurious experience, with attentive staff, private dining, and the flexibility to tailor your days exactly as you like. Meals are served in your private lounge or outdoors under the stars, and the team is happy to create memorable bush dining moments on request. Guests can also access the main Naibor Camp facilities if they wish, including the central mess tent and bar, though most choose to enjoy the peace and privacy of Little Naibor’s own secluded set-up.
Activities: Days here revolve around exceptional game drives in the Masai Mara, led by experienced guides who know the land and its rhythms intimately. Wildlife viewing is consistently rewarding year-round, with a good chance of seeing lions, leopards, elephants, and cheetahs, not to mention the seasonal migration herds. You can also opt for sundowners in scenic spots, guided walks (when available), and cultural visits to nearby Maasai communities. Every experience is curated to suit your interests and pace.
Sustainability: Naibor Camp, including Little Naibor, is committed to low-impact tourism. The camp operates with an eco-sensitive design that minimises permanent structures, and uses solar power and careful waste management practices to reduce its footprint. Local staff are employed wherever possible, and the camp maintains strong ties with surrounding communities and conservation initiatives. It’s a thoughtful approach that ensures your stay supports the long-term health of Kenya’s iconic wilderness.

January
January is a great time for wildlife viewing. The landscapes are lush and green after the 'short rains' and newborn animals can been seen. It is hot, but brief afternoon or evening showers cool things down, without compromising your safari. Over on the coast the sea is clear, making it ideal for diving and snorkelling, and the days are warm and bright.
February
February is an ideal time to visit Kenya, and great for game viewing. The landscapes are green and thriving thanks to the short rains, and newborn animals will be hopping around the plains. There maybe a few afternoon showers which are welcome in the heat, and don't impact on wildlife viewing. Water clarify is excellent at the moment, which is good news for watersports enthusiasts. And if you want to spot a whale shark, now is the time to try.
March
Still a good option for wildlife viewing and diving, although with the 'long rains' just around the corner, expect wetter and hotter weather.
April
April brings the start of the 'long rains' which means game reserves and national parks become muddy and harder to drive around. Over on the coast it's hot and wet, so it isn't the best time of year to travel. Some camps and lodges close during this period.
May
The 'long rains' continue into May, making park tracks difficult to navigate in the mud, and the coast very warm and wet. There will be less accommodation choice at this time as several lodges and camps during this period.
June
June is a beautiful time of year to visit Kenya, with the rains receding to just light showers, and the long dry season not far ahead. The high grasses can sometimes make it more of a challenge to spot game, but the landscapes are lush and some animals may begin arriving early for the migration. At altitude nights can be cool, but elsewhere the temperature is pleasant.
July
July marks the beginning of the great migration into the Masai Mara, and with warm and generally dry weather, this is a great time of year to visit. Days are sunny, skies are blue and there isn't too much dust around, so it's a great time for photography.
August
The migration is now in full swing in the Masai Mara, with lots of river crossing action, so if you want to see those massive herds of wildebeest and zebra, now is the time to come. Game viewing in general is excellent and it's one of the most popular times of year to visit, so some of the main parks do become crowded. Temperatures are warm and dry.
September
Game viewing continues to be excellent, and the weather is generally dry so this is another ideal month to visit Kenya's parks. The bush is less dense and as animals gather around waterholes and rivers it makes wildlife spotting much easier.
October
October is a great time if you want to avoid the crowds and don't mind the temperature slowly starting to rise. There may be a few short showers, but game viewing remains excellent with the end of the migration, and it's a good time to holiday anywhere in Kenya.
November
November heralds the start of the 'short rains' and with hotter temperatures some camps are closed. The Mara however is still open, and despite sometimes stormy skies, game viewing is still good. Fewer crowds and lower prices make this an attractive month to visit. Over on the coast water clarify is good for snorkelling and diving.
December
The 'short rains' are bringing the landscapes back to life, and as the plains start to become green again, wildlife viewing remains good, and it's a great time for birding. Some camps are closed (mainly in the north of Kenya) but many others remain open. The showers tend to fall in the afternoons and don't impact greatly on a safari. Take advantage of reduced visitor numbers and lower prices.
