The Ultimate Tented Safari Camp For Wildlife And Birdlife Enthusiasts In The Naboisho Conservancy
Naboisho Camp by Asilia Africa in the Naboisho Conservancy is, without question or doubt, both a wildlife enthusiast and a wildlife photographer's dream come true.
A small, stylish and intimate safari camp that offers guests a level of safari solitude almost unheard of so close to the Maasai Mara.
A camp that is importantly located in a conservancy that offers up one of the highest concentrations of lions and cheetahs (including other wildlife species) in the whole of Africa.
Naboisho Camp sits on the edge of a water hole and kopje in the heart of this Conservancy and offers guests game drive and night game drives, walking safaris (for ages 16+), and night drives in search of the area's abundant wildlife, which includes Big Five game viewing.
There are just nine stylish tents at Naboisho Camp, all of which have been designed to blend in with their natural surroundings.
The Naboisho Conservancy has a higher wildlife density than the Masai Mara National Reserve to compare the two when looking for the best Masai Mara safaris available.
Naboisho Camp is the perfect place to begin or end your African safari experience.
Rooms and Suites
Nine spacious tented suites (with thatched overlay) offer king-sized or twin beds, a separate day bed, a small verandah, en-suite bathroom facilities with indoor and outdoor hot-water bucket showers and a flushing toilet.
Two of the nine accommodation options are designed especially for families; these two family-friendly options offer two bedrooms and a shared full bathroom.
Cuisine and Wine
All meals are prepared by a skilled team in the kitchen, except continental or full English breakfasts, light yet delicious lunch back at the camp, or a bush picnic while out on a game drive and when back at camp, a three-course dinner awaits.
The wine selection at Naboisho Camp in the Maasai Mara is excellent. The camp has a wide variety of red and white wines, as well as sparkling wines and champagne. The staff is happy to suggest a wine to pair with your meal, or you can choose one yourself.
Should one have any dietary requests, please advise ahead of arrival. Most dietary requests are catered for.
Facilities
The thatched central guest area at Naboisho Camp with a lounge and small library, a dining room and a bar area; both areas are (for the most part) open to the surrounding Masai bushveld teeming with wildlife and birdlife.
Not too far away from the central guest area is the rim-flow swimming pool with a thatched gazebo (for private dining) that offers up a small dining area, a small lounge, as well as sun loungers and fantastic views.
Wi-Fi is available near the central guest area.
Activities
Very early morning and late afternoon game drives are what it is all about; all game drives and game viewing activities are hosted by extremely knowledgeable and highly trained safari guides and trackers.
A recommended safari activity that comes at an extra cost is the 'fly camping' option, spending a night or two out in the wild Mara Naboisho Conservancy, basically camping. Surrounded by some of the best wildlife in all of Africa, we personally cannot think of anything better.
The safari activities available at Naboisho Camp are game drive and night drive options, walking safaris, cultural visits, fly camping, and hot-air balloon safaris.
Day drives and night drives are included in the cost of your stay at the camp, while the other activities are available at an additional cost.
Child Friendly
Naboisho Camp and the Mara Naboisho Conservancy are fantastic safari destinations for those travelling with families and children over the age of five.
Two tented family suites are on offer, with each one offering two bedrooms and a shared en-suite bathroom. Suitable and tailor-made menus are also available for children of all ages. A private safari vehicle option is also available should families require more privacy.
Game viewing activities for the little ones include;
- Identifying animal tracks
- Learning about local cultures
- Guided nature walks
- Learning bush skills
If you are looking for the best Masai Mara lodges that are family-friendly, this is one of those camps that should be high up on one's list.
In Conclusion

In memoriam Honey; Honey was famous for jumping into vehicles to obtain a better view of her idyllic world - the Masai Mara Game Reserve. This special cheetah was killed on the 17th of February 2007 in full view of her three remaining cubs.Impressions Of Kenya
Kenya’s wildlife remains at the heart of its attractions, yet there is much more to discover in this fascinating country outside the game reserves. You can climb the slopes of Mount Kenya to find tropical ice on the Equator, or explore the coral reefs of the Mombasa coast.Explore The Masai Mara By Balloon
It was one of those rare moments where you take in the majesty of nature in complete silence, disturbing nothing, saying nothing. In Kenya last month, I had the great pleasure of a balloon safari over the Masai Mara organised by the excellent and highly professional Governors Company.
