The Details
The camp runs on solar power and was built using recycled and natural materials, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.
The camp is situated on the northern banks of the Mara River, just south of the Kenyan border. It is a completely self-sustained eco-retreat with four one-bedroom luxury tents and two family tents.
Each tent is river-facing with double or twin beds, an en-suite bathroom featuring an outdoor bathtub, inside and outside showers, a pedestal fan, mosquito netting, a minibar (cooler box), tea and coffee-making facilities, an in-room safe, bathroom amenities, and a game-viewing deck.
The family tents include two bedrooms with double or twin beds, en-suite bathrooms with outdoor bathtubs, inside and outside showers, a pedestal fan, mosquito netting, a minibar (cooler box), tea and coffee-making facilities, an in-room safe, bathroom amenities, and a shared game-viewing deck.
The camp’s facilities include a dining room, bar, wine cellar, spa, and a swimming pool.
The Lamai Triangle offers a front-row seat to the annual migration when approximately 1.5 million wildebeest and other antelopes migrate between Tanzania and Kenya in search of new pastures. The Lamai Triangle is also home to a variety of wildlife, including lions, cheetahs, leopards, and elephants.
Activities at the camp include daily game drives in open-sided Land Cruisers, tennis, spa treatments, and hot air balloon safaris.
