Basecamp Dorobo Mobile camping offers simple camping in five specially designed mobile tents with soft mattresses, bucket showers and an outdoor toilet. This is ideal for a hiking experience where you want to connect with nature. By removing all unnecessary distractions, we aim to bring guests closer to the very essence of the African savannah.
Basecamp Dorobo Mobile
Basecamp Dorobo Mobile is a movable camp inside Naboisho Conservancy in the Masai Mara ecosystem.
In the tradition of classic “fly camps”, Basecamp Dorobo Mobile is the result of years of admiration and respect for the ancient section of hunter-gatherers who were assimilated into the Maasai people and became known as the Dorobo. Truly the stuff of legends, the Dorobo spend their lives living off the African savannah, carrying no other protection than their intrinsic understanding of the wilderness, ready to change location according to the seasons, the weather and the needs of the group. Our camp and its 5 tents reflect this background and provides a unique atmosphere for guests who want to experience a different and more authentic way to be on safari in the famed Masai Mara region. Being a mobile camp, it remains comfortable and safe but has a rustic feel that accommodates the wish to be be really close to nature and to wildlife, without too many layers between your presence and the outdoors.

Accommodation
Mobile Twin Tents
The five specially designed mobile tents, typical of the safari tradition of the old days, have soft mattresses, bucket showers and each a wonderful outdoor toilet.

Basecamp Dorobo Mobile aims to implement tourism operations in a responsible way by creating a positive impact in the regions where we are active. One of them is the wider Maasai Mara ecosystem, which is currently facing unprecedented environmental challenges. We have taken action to restore the biodiversity of one of the most important habitats left in the world and empower the community to become resilient towards the negative effects of climate change.
Our approach to community-based conservation and community-based tourism is visible through many individual projects we have initiated or are involved in.
Our very light footprint on the ground means that our model of tourism helps to protect the land for future generations.
