Karen Blixen Camp is situated in the pristine Mara North Conservancy; a vital part of the Masai Mara Ecosystem and offering one of the most densely populated natural wildlife areas in the world. Mara North Conservancy is proud to have one of the lowest tourism and vehicle density in the Masai Mara Ecosystem.

For the utmost private and exclusive safari experience game drives are conducted within the Mara North Conservancy area. During the migration season (or on request) guests are offered the opportunity to go to the Masai Mara National Reserve to have a chance to see the wildebeests crossing the Mara River. Our open Toyota Land Cruiser gives full view of the wildlife roaming the area.

We suggest guests to leave for the early morning game drive just before sunrise; return and relax in Camp, before going on the afternoon game drive. If one wish to go for a full day game drive a picnic lunch basket is provided. A must do activity is the night game drive where one experiences the thrilling adventures of the night.
