Reopened on 1st June 2025
Set along the banks of the Mara River in the heart of the world-renowned Masai Mara National Reserve, the newly rebuilt Ashnil Mara Camp is poised to redefine safari luxury.
The reimagined camp blends contemporary design with the timeless allure of Kenya’s most iconic wildlife destination.
Ashnil Mara Camp has long been a preferred choice for travellers seeking authentic game viewing experiences in one of Africa’s richest ecosystems. Now, with a fresh new look and enhanced guest offerings, the camp elevates the safari experience while staying rooted in the natural beauty of its surroundings.
Luxury Tents, Redesigned:
Each of the newly built tents is more spacious and stylish than ever before. Designed to offer privacy and comfort, the tents feature lounge areas, refined en-suite bathrooms, minibars (2026), WiFi connectivity, and private outdoor seating to soak in the views and sounds of the bush.
Transformed Public Areas:
The central areas of the camp have been reimagined for better flow, comfort, and ambiance. Guests can now enjoy sweeping river views, more intimate lounging spaces, and seamless access to the surrounding wilderness.
