Ol Seki Hemingways Mara at Mara Naboisho Conservancy

View of Naboisho & Masai Mara National Reserve

Located in the heart of the private Naboisho Conservancy, near the renowned Maasai Mara, far from bustling safari routes, lies the elegant Ol Seki Hemingways Mara Camp. Perched on an arrow-shaped bluff overlooking the Isupukai River, this retreat offers a sense of exclusivity and privacy with its limited number of comfortable safari tents. Each tent is spaced apart, providing the feeling of solitude in the wild. The communal guest areas are warm and inviting, perfect for sharing safari stories over a favorite drink. The panoramic views, wood-floored dining and lounge tents, and plush chairs and sofas add to the camp’s welcoming ambiance.

Ol Seki Mara is known for its stunning location within the exclusive Naboisho Conservancy, offering proximity to abundant wildlife. From your comfortable seat in the guest area, you’ll witness various animals visiting the camp’s private watering hole. As the day ends, the retreat’s deck is the perfect spot for a sundowner by the fire pit, offering views of the setting sun. As night falls and the stars emerge, paraffin lanterns and candlelight create a warm glow, setting the mood as guests settle in for the evening.

Tucked between the rocks, Ol Seki’s infinity pool is surrounded by a stone terrace and features a sunken seating area with a fire pit. The pool overlooks the valley, enhancing each swim. For relaxation, the camp offers a spa for massages and a lounge tent with comfy sofas and books. Wi-Fi is available throughout the camp for those wishing to stay connected. Laundry service is complimentary during your stay.

Each of Ol Seki’s circular canvas safari tents is spacious, filled with natural light, and elegantly decorated with vintage touches. The twelve-sided tents are spaced for privacy, each offering breathtaking views over the plains. The six spacious circular ‘Nina’ tents include a screened-in furnished deck with chunky rugs and rush mats, a comfortable double bed or twin beds, and space for an additional bed if needed. The en-suite bathroom features a hot-water shower, flushing toilet, and dressing area. Two larger safari tents, ‘Chui’ and ‘Simba,’ are designed for families or groups, each with two en-suite bedrooms, a central living area, private kitchen, lounge, and dining room. Guests in the Chui or Simba tents can request a private chef for added luxury.
