Experience the Untamed Beauty of the Maasai Mara
Enkorok Mara Camp is a welcoming safari camp set within the Masai Mara’s Siana Conservancy, offering a relaxed yet authentic Mara experience.
Enkorok Mara Camp delivers a conservancy safari at a budget-friendly price, with tents set along a riverbank and on raised platforms inside the community-linked Siana Conservancy. Every tent runs on 24-hour solar power with hot en-suite showers and a private veranda, and the conservancy setting permits night game drives — an experience unavailable inside the main reserve at any price.
The camp lies in the Ololaimutia area on the eastern flank of the Masai Mara, about 2.5 km from Ololaimutia Gate, with Sekenani Gate roughly 25 km away — so guests can alternate between conservancy drives and full days in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Wildlife regularly comes down to drink along the river below the tents. Nairobi is around 250 km by road via Narok, a journey of four and a half to six hours, while flights into Keekorok Airstrip put arrivals about 20 km from camp.
Tents come in Single, Twin and Double configurations, each with solar lighting, en-suite bathrooms with hot showers and verandas overlooking the Mara landscape. A swimming pool, spa, restaurant and bar back up the canvas accommodation, and bush dinners and campfire evenings anchor the after-drive hours.
Enkorok combines conservancy freedom with day trips into the Masai Mara National Reserve, and suits the 8-day Kenya safari for travellers building a full Kenya circuit.
A cosy tent designed for solo travellers with a comfortable bed, en‑suite bathroom with hot shower, solar power, and a private veranda to relax and take in the surroundings.
Ideal for friends travelling together, this tent has two comfortable beds, an en‑suite bathroom, and all standard tent amenities, plus a private veranda.
Perfect for couples or friends, featuring a queen‑size bed, an en‑suite bathroom with hot shower, and a veranda overlooking the Mara plains.

Located in the Siana Conservancy near the Ololaimutiek Gate of the Maasai Mara, Enkorok Mara Camp offers excellent wildlife viewing throughout the year, with the added advantage of a private conservancy setting that allows activities such as night game drives and guided nature walks.
July to October is the premier safari season and the most popular time to visit. During this dry period, wildlife congregates around water sources, making game viewing exceptional. It is also the time of the famous Great Wildebeest Migration, when vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move through the Mara ecosystem. River crossings are typically at their peak between August and September.
January to March is another excellent time to visit. The weather is generally warm and dry, visitor numbers are lower than during migration season, and predator sightings are often outstanding. This period is ideal for travelers seeking excellent wildlife viewing with fewer crowds.
November to December brings the short rains, transforming the conservancy into a lush green landscape. Birdlife is abundant, photography conditions are excellent, and the camp is generally less crowded while still offering rewarding wildlife encounters.
During the long rains from April to May, the Mara is at its greenest. While some roads may be muddy, guests benefit from lower rates, fewer visitors, beautiful scenery, and opportunities to see newborn animals.
