Offbeat Mara Camp

Facilities

Despite the camp’s semi-permanent status, the tents are all comfortable and roomy, with hot showers and flush loos. Beds have proper mattresses and linen, while there is a small veranda area in front of the tents, complete with chairs and table – these are perfect for watching the wildlife as it wanders by.

At the heart of the camp lies the fun mess tent, where drinks and dinner are served. The camp managers head up a great team of local guides and staff, who all bring their personality to this communal area.

In keeping with the camp’s philosophy of minimal impact on the environment, Offbeat Mara has no permanent structures. But don’t let this put you off; it is a solid, sturdy little camp that has a wonderful atmosphere and genuine authenticity.
