Maasai Mara remains one of Kenya’s best-loved reserves encompassing 1039 square miles of wide savannas, rolling hills and riverine forest. There are huge grazing herds, bountiful bird life and Africa’s largest population of lions. In fact, each year the Mara is the staging ground for what is know as “The Great Migration,” one of the most awe-inspiring natural events in the world.

Driving through the vast and very scenic Mara wilderness to the Ilkeliani Camp, one may feel like you’re on a National Geographic Safari as you may spot abundant of giraffes, buffaloes, wildebeest, hartebeest, impalas, zebras, gazelles, leopards and many other animals, especially lions.

This camp is located in the northeastern border of the Mara, in a riverine forest. It easily blends into the abundant virgin foliage, and provides not only romantic privacy but also primordial sounds and sights of nature.
