Nestled in the heart of the Masai Mara, the Basecamp Mara Houses offer a unique escape where the comfort of home seamlessly blends with the wild. Each house is a personal retreat, thoughtfully designed to provide families and groups of friends with an unparalleled Kenyan safari experience.

Accommodation: Spacious Family Retreats

Mara House, Acacia House, and Dik Dik House each provide a spacious and comfortable setting perfect for family getaways. As you arrive, the serene surroundings and the soothing shade of indigenous trees immediately set the tone for your stay. Mara House and Acacia House both feature expansive verandahs that overlook the lively activity at the nearby watering hole, where you can often spot elephants quenching their thirst, buffalos cooling off, and antelopes darting about. These large verandahs are ideal for shared meals, relaxed afternoons, or simply enjoying the wildlife from your private vantage point.

Inside, Mara House offers three ensuite bedrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for all guests. Acacia House is similarly equipped with a main ensuite bedroom, a second room with a shared bathroom, and an attic room that is perfect for children.

Meanwhile, Dik Dik House, with its two bedrooms, provides a more secluded retreat. Nestled within the lush shrubs of the indigenous forest, it offers an extra layer of privacy while still allowing for views of the watering hole from a raised lookout area. The mornings here are particularly special, as sunlight filters gently through the leaves, creating a serene setting for an alfresco dining experience.

Dedicated Service: A Personalized Experience

At Basecamp Mara Houses, the experience is elevated by a dedicated team of staff who are committed to ensuring that every aspect of your stay is personalized and comfortable. Your host is always available to attend to your needs, arranging activities and ensuring that your stay is tailored to your preferences. A dedicated chef is on hand to prepare delicious meals that cater to your dietary needs and preferences, with the flexibility to serve early meals for children or create special menus that suit your family’s tastes.

Housekeeping is attentive, ensuring that your accommodation remains a serene and pristine retreat throughout your stay. Additionally, a personal guide is assigned to your house, along with an exclusive vehicle for game drives. This arrangement allows for a truly tailored safari experience, giving you the freedom to explore the Mara North Conservancy at your own pace.

Family Fun & Entertainment: Create Cherished Memories

Basecamp Mara Houses are designed to provide a setting where families can bond and create lasting memories. The shared pool area is a popular spot for families, especially children, to cool off during the warm Masai Mara afternoons. The pool is not just a place to swim; it becomes a hub of family entertainment where laughter and play are the order of the day. As the sun sets, families can complement their poolside fun with evening board games, available in each house, making for perfect bonding time after a day of safari adventures.

Flexibility is a hallmark of the Basecamp Mara Houses experience. The pace of your day is entirely up to you, whether you choose to spend lazy days by the pool, enjoy early meals tailored to the needs of your little ones, or embark on exciting game drives. The team at Basecamp Mara Houses is dedicated to ensuring that your family’s needs are met, whatever the day’s activities may be.

Exclusive Safari Adventures: Explore with Your Loved Ones

Each house is appointed an exclusive vehicle for game drives, ensuring that your safari experience is both private and customizable.
