Speke’s Camp is situated on the boundary of the famous Maasai Mara Reserve, surrounded by fabulous indigenous trees overhanging the Olare Orok River. The camp is a traditionally styled safari camp offering a high level of service and cuisine.
The camp is intimate and personable. All tents are very spacious, with a closet, luggage rack, a desk, and a beautiful seating area. Accommodation includes eight comfortable and traditional glamping tents, which can be double, twin, or family tents.
All tents have large, spacious bathrooms with traditional safari bucket showers, hot water, and flush toilets. Each tent comes with a personal room steward to look after you during your stay.
Speke’s Camp is a 10-minute game drive from the main reserve. It is designed with privacy and nature in mind.
Apart from arguably some of the best game viewing in the world, Speke’s Camp offers a comfortable and pleasant base for exploring the Mara. Guests can enjoy wonderful sundowners, picnics, and bush breakfasts while on game drives in this fabulous wildlife location. Evening meals feature fine dining with a three-course meal under the stars, while lunches offer various vegetarian dishes made with fresh produce grown onsite. Breakfast is a full English spread accompanied by seasonal fruits.
Safari trails are designed to offer clients the opportunity to experience two very different styles of safari in a single holiday. Guests can first enjoy traditional game viewing in a vehicle and then embark on safari trails for "slow travel." Slow travel allows for a deeper connection to the surroundings, offering a hands-on experience of the landscape, climate, way of life, and culture.
This approach helps uncover hidden pockets of the surroundings, showcasing new and exciting places far off the beaten track—no queues, no entrance fees, and no crowds—just you and the African wilderness. Resident guides are eager to share their customs and culture, teaching visitors how they read the landscape and recounting the stories of their forefathers.
The safari trails include three nights at Speke’s Camp in the Maasai Mara, where expert guides showcase arguably some of the best game viewing in the world by vehicle. From there, the next leg of the journey begins.
It’s time to stretch your legs and leave the vehicle behind. At this point, you embark on a three-night trail through some of the most remote parts of Kenya. Walking through the Kenyan bush is an unparalleled experience, evoking an intimate connection to the landscape and its history. After all, Africa’s oldest human remains, dating back seven million years, were found in Kenya.
Private game drives with a spotter, picnic and bush breakfasts, all meals, sundowners, laundry, and airstrip transfers.

Lindi Weeks - Safari.com. A Pleasure to Work With.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Lindi Weeks of Safari.com to plan our dream safari, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, she was incredibly patient, answering every question I had and addressing all my concerns. Her knowledge of safari destinations, wildlife, and logistics is truly impressive – it’s clear she’s a seasoned expert in the field! Beyond being well-informed, Lindi is an all-around wonderful person to work with. She was understanding of our budget and needs, and she crafted an itinerary that perfectly balanced adventure, relaxation, and unique wildlife encounters. At every step, I felt like I was in great hands, knowing Lindi had thought of every detail to make our trip as memorable as possible.

Anja at Safari.com was a great partner to work with!
Working with Anja at Safari.com was great. She was able to work some magic and got us a few nights at the safari lodge we really wanted, Ngoma. Unfortunately, our flight from the USA to South Africa was canceled and we were rebooked a day later but Anja was great about making sure our lodge and the transports knew about the change in plans and made sure we got to our trip as soon as we could. She was a great partner to have and communicated quickly whenever we reached out. I would highly recommend using her when planning a trip to Africa!
